Yeah, which makes me wonder: Why aren't any studios doing a AAA space combat game? Look at all the interest and buzz for that fan-made Wing Commander game. Because the last AAA space sim bombed with respect to sales. Freespace 2's initial run sold under 100K copies. There have been a few smaller budget space sims since then, but nothing that has really caught on. And even though a space sim should be cheaper to produce than a FPS, it's still not cheap. I think the last reasonable estimate for a AAA space sim was over $10mil. More if you wanted CGI cutscenes, which at today's quality would be incredibly expensive.
