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'll probably get 2024 at some point, but maybe not for the right reasons. I bought MSFS 2020 from the MS Store because I thought it would upgrade in the background but it doesn't, the updater is still a mess. Now I want to move my pc to Linux and my MS Store version of MSFS is about the only game/software I have that won't work with Linux/Proton/Wine, that I care about. So I've been looking to get Steam version of 2020 in a sale, even though it looks like that won't be a seamless experience either, it at least has a chance. With 2024 coming out and sales never going quite low, I'll wait for 2024 instead and see how it'll run on Proton. Or I'll get X-Plane 12 because that has a native Linux build.
