I understand what you are saying but, as a senior citizen, I have no concern for ratings. E.g. if I see a trailer of a movie which I like the look of, I go to see it. I have no need to check the rating. Therefore It would have been good PR for the missing elements to have been pointed out in the description. I would not have purchased that particular item if I had been informed. But PR is not Microsoft’s strong point. All this just means if I purchase from the Marketplace (unlikely) in the future, it would mean closer scrutiny, of the product with the knowledge that Microsoft is not honest and loyal to their customers.
EDIT: I have had a reply to my ticket regarding this. Nothing about ratings.I quote:
By design, Microsoft Flight Simulator does not include working armament or enable deliberate acts of violence on official content (stock and 3rd party content purchasable on the marketplace). At its core, Microsoft Flight Simulator is a flight simulator. There is currently no plan to introduce combat simulation.
So, still not pacifists?
