Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024's launch has been marred by a handful of issues and clunky backend infrastructure designed for just 200,000 players.

MSFS 2024 (Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024) incorporates a unique design to reduce initial download sizes - streaming assets from the cloud on the go as you play. This has several implications, the first being bandwidth on Microsoft's end and the second being game preservation, but that's a topic for another day. Microsoft's design did not factor in the large swarm of players at launch, and even now, it struggles to keep up with demand. Talk about suffering from success.
