I agree, having different “states” of code versions would make things a lot worse, or broken altogether. Microsoft has the right to prescribe how their code is managed within their products. It’s simply NOT a democratic issue, although it is desirable to have as much cooperation as possible, which is why they solicit feedback. Asobo, as a development partner, has matching responsibilities also. It’s virtually impossible to test every configuration and their permutations, on everybody’s computers. I’m not saying it is “odd-man-out”, but ever since the “personal computer” became the standard in the 1980s, the notion of perfectly configured hardware and software environments within product lines came to an end.
