Hypothetical short answer(s) (no priority intended)
1 It doesn’t make MicroSobo money, it’s strictly a cost?
2 They don’t have the desire to tackle the (bug) monster they created at release?
3 They don’t have the expertise to tackle the subject?
4 The 'You can always just fly on Vatsim (or similar) mindset of many simmers?
5 They know their track record on ‘fixing’ broken things and are scared to take on the task?
6 (Supposedly) there is not enough interest in the subject to warrant their attention at this time?
7 The Multiplayer ‘Community’ doesn’t use it anyway, why bother?
8 'People just want to ‘look’ at a flight sim, why does it matter?
9 (Similar to 8) ‘Why does a flight sim need AI traffic and ATC that works’ it’s about flying right?
10 They just don’t care, it’s been over 2 years and they’re still using our product (i.e. just don
t respond and they’ll eventually get over it)?
May sound a bit harsh but I submit at least some of the above are factors given MicroSobo’s COMPLETE inattention to the problem since literally the day of release.
Sorry, forgot # 11 - ‘Maverick don’t need no ATC dude’
