Flight simulator needed a better people simulator.
The peak concurrent users for the game thus far has been less than 1/10th of that (EDIT: slightly more than 1/10th of that). They were well within the bounds of what they simulated. They just screwed up.
Where are you getting that number?
Didn’t account for the initial interest peak.
No, that’s what I’m saying. That peak is well under what they claimed they simulated.
