I merged Space combat simulator into here and applied much of the content from Space trading and combat simulator to it as a lot of it was relevant to either. SharkD (talk) 07:17, 25 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

It seems User:LjL has proposed that Space simulator be merged into this article. I'm not sure if this makes sense. The other article also covers non-flight and non-game simulators. I'm OK with the current distinction between games and non-games. I agree it is a stub and needs expansion, though. SharkD (talk) 22:24, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

As an aside, I do suggest renaming this article to Space flight simulator (video games). The current title features too many words tacked on to each other, IMO. SharkD (talk) 22:27, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps it should all be merged under the other name (I mostly proposed the "to" and "from" this way based on which article was longer). In this kind of simulators, the line between "game" and "non-game" is extremely blurred - this article does mention things like Orbiter in the very heading, which definitely do belong in the other. So I think it's much easier to have one not-necessarily-about-games-only article than trying to determine which is which every time. LjL (talk) 22:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Actually, I don't think I was thinking very clearly. Forget about it? And yes, I support your renaming suggestion. LjL (talk) 23:30, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Why is Elite not mentioned in the Space Trading and Combat section?

It would seem to me to be the first game to have all those attributes, or at least the first breakthrough game with those attributes. 82.23.149.238 (talk) 14:04, 10 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Should be fixed now. SharkD  Talk  07:46, 11 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Galaxy on Fire 1 & 2

Both games are solidly in this genre. Originally developed for mobile platforms, now also available on PC and Mac. Plays very similar to Freelancer. Probably one of the better games in this genre released in the last few years. Also should mention the X series as games that belong in this category (including the newly released X REbirth). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sudmukh (talk • contribs) 02:21, 25 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

most of these games are not even close to being simulators

The simulator nomer should be dropped for pretty much all the non-orbiter style games. (those that don't feature realistic physics) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.197.216.169 (talk) 17:25, 23 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Agreed, sims are not games. Tried to address that overtime by adding content on both simulators and games. At least the article itself makes the distinction. For Kerbal, the classification is not that simple. 4throck (talk) 10:41, 24 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

No Man's Sky

I remember No Man's Sky getting a lot of flack from players for some reason. Maybe that should be mentioned in the article? SharkD  Talk  13:31, 25 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

For the No Man's Sky paragraph, I changed the existing 'not living up to hype' to 'betrayed by dishonest marketing practices' which is what the provided source actually discusses. My edit is far more weasel wordy than anything I would normally write but that article really only mentions the hype to call some marketing practices "anti-consumer" and "poisoning the industry with faux-gameplay trailers and hyper-ambitious promises" so I did make some effort to subdue the article's hatred. But I think it's more misleading to suggest the game was over-hyped when the developer both apologised for releasing the game and called his behaviour "unwarranted and unprofessional". --124.168.224.222 (talk) 22:00, 8 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
