First time in 20 years that I buy a game as a pre-release (with also no real deal).

Never again, after an eternal 6% of loading I am now stuck at 97%, the game is downloaded from Microsoft and not from Steam, nothing is happening since half an hour, CPU, SSD, network, all at minimum usage.

I'm all in when talking about patience, I'm ok with the mandatory account but making me download 11Gb to then download the game at random hiccups because of your servers no, I don't like it, I would prefer to download 400Gb from Steam without possibly lose my right to refund.

And I won't refund because I want this game and I know it's a matter of time but still in 2024 and after 80 bucks I expect a little bit more from the giant of Microsoft.

EDIT: After the longest loading ever I managed to do one single mission in career, if I start the second one I get an error no matter what, and I suspect that the reason is the fact you do not have the licence to use that specific aircraft in the first mission.

Anyway between glitching co-pilots out of the cockpit, messed up UI, missing images of airplanes I stupidly decided to reboot the game.

And now, a queue. A queue stuck at 0%. If you look up online after the queue guess what? Another eternal loading screen.

This could all be foreseen, everyone knows how hard servers get hit at release, there were plenty of options to avoid this especially with a giant like Microsoft.

I understand the streaming service of everything to not use the terabytes of memory I bought and it shouldn't be an issue with a 10Gbps internet connection but apparently after I paid for a product I have to wait for who-knows how much to wait for it to be fixed.

Like buying a 700 bucks smartphone that turns on in 10 hours and everytime you unlock it you have to wait 10 minutes and being ok with it because "it's like that all the time, it's not their fault".

I usually don't enjoy giving 80 bucks to people just to receive half made products.
