I checked the minimum required specs advertised for FS2020 and it made me sad. I have a pretty decent used dell M6800 workstation at home (gen 4 i7, K3100M graphics, 32GB RAM) and I don't know if I'll be able to run it.

This is a game where streaming makes a lot of sense. Necessary specs are very high, storage requirement also for tiles, and latency to the ms isn't a huge concern.

Definitely too early to judge, as the product team will eventually optimize the game for the 90th percentile user base recoup the development costs of building this game and maximize sales numbers. If they overshoot the requirements, the available market becomes smaller, which means the price of the game will need to be significant. Another thing to consider - these demos are crafted to be at the highest settings. Expect other rendering options in the final product.

Isn't it coming out for the XBOX One?

I've been into various flight simulators since I was a kid. This looks super cool, but I have always been disappointed by how much more effort it seems like goes into pretty graphics than realistic flying (including detailed and realistic aircraft controls). I would prefer rudimentary graphics with extremely accurate flying and controls than the other way around, but I guess I'm alone in that because they always get the flying to "good enough" and then blow out on graphics.
