No. I mean, this is beyond absurd - even if it was true, that would
hardly justify yanking the game.

I could murder someone by driving a car into them (and probably only
get 6 months for causing death by dangerous driving, but that's
another issue). We'd better ban driving lessons!

[Also, why Microsoft in particular? Other people do accurate flight sims.]
