Three Grumpy Simmers - EP13 - Aiding Or Profiteering?

The Three Grumpy Simmers come together and one is grumpier than normal.

This month The Three Grumpy Simmers assemble to dissect a startling new development in the Flight Sim Store Saga.

With many developers confirming they have had no contact with the online retailer for many months, some have started moving customer who had bought content with them over onto other digital sales / distribution platforms. As a customer of FSS, Novawing24 received an email from Pilot's and their plans to move across to SimMarket...at an unexpected cost.

Together The Three Grumpy Simmers delve into what this alarming turn of events potentially means for the community and ask a more deep rooted question about the state (and price) of content in the simulation world at large.
