On July 27, Microsoft announced that the firm plans to scrap Microsoft Flight. According to a report by ITProPortal,
“The Redmond-based company confirmed Wednesday that it has ended development of Microsoft Flight, which was re-released in January to replace Flight Simulator, and Project Columbia, an interactive children’s TV project. The company also plans to reassign 35 Vancouver-based studio jobs as a result of the shutdowns.
In an official statement from Microsoft, the company said it is always evaluating its projects to determine what is best for gamers, families, and the company, calling this decision ‘the result of the natural ebb and flow of our portfolio management.’ ”
