How do you feel about it that Microsoft decided to make a new game instead of it being an update for MSFS 2020? Do you think you will buy it or just stick with the 2020 version?

I think I'll wait for now to find out whether it makes sense to buy it. TBH I feel it's going to be a Gamepass thing again anyways.

I bought MSFS 2020 for like 100 bucks and I feel a bit iffy about the fact that they will not primarily support that purchase and are corralling features off into a new title.

That said, the big question is modules. The module marketplace just had time to consolidate on 2020, I wonder how long it will take to have a decent array of modules on 2024, and whether users will be content paying for the same modules again on a slightly different platform.

No need to purchase modules again. Confirmed they will work in the new sim.

Microsoft has said all of the marketplace purchases will transfer, and will be compatible.

That's awesome!
