Games as services aren't popular -- with a particular demographic. The disconnect here might be that people who tend to play flight sims are decidedly not in the games as a service group.

One reason why I play X-Plane is to avoid this silliness with streaming everything from servers (that, plus the flight and lighting models are better).
