The Three Grumpy Simmers return with a new episode about an age old issue.
With the recent announcement of a launch date for Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox, the ugly head of tribalistic toxicity has raised its head fully for all to see. We have all seen this for years from the sidelines, but the levels that some in our community have sunk to are new. We hold a mirror up to our community and make some honest and uncomfortable observations.
The Three Grumpy Simmers return with a new episode about an age old issue. With the recent announcement of a launch date for Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox, the ugly head of tribalistic toxicity has raised its head fully for all to see. We have all seen this for years from the sidelines, but the levels that some in our community have sunk to are new. We hold a mirror up to our community and make some honest and uncomfortable observations. We wrap up with a call for each of us to change the narrative, to be the voices of positivity and not division. We are starting the #ThreeGrumpySimmersChallenge and challenge everyone to go out and thank a developer! Whether it be freeware, payware or something in between, we ask every viewer to give a constructive and positive review or feedback to a developer of one of your favourite or most enjoyed addons! We would love to see your comments! If you want to share them please link us to them in the comments on the YouTube video!
Don't forget to head over to Helisimmer's Channel for a weekly wrap of all news helicopter and BelGeode's Channel for some great fantastic adventures.
