I just want a pretty flight sim with a handful of planes that lets me fly everywhere in the world without dollar signs appearing in the menus.

Actually I'm finding myself giving up on video games for the exact same reasons I gave up on television 20 years ago, I'm tired of everyone trying to sell me more shit during the increasingly rare free moments I have.

There's still non-cash-grab yet AAA games out there, depending on what type of game you enjoy of course. For action games there's Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War on the PS4; HZD has some optional DLC but it's just a bit of extra content, and GoW does not (will not?) have any of that. Just a complete game, no attempts at upselling, etc.

Its not the prettiest, but here's a flight sim with (more than) a handful of planes that lets you fly everywhere in the world without dollar signs appearing anywhere (it's FOSS).
