Hiya Eric,
I can't say I'm too fond of easter eggs in simulators. Not in any game, really, unless they blend in with the rest, so to speak. Some games have them in the form of weird and funny messages and/or jokes, that don't seem to stick out in their environment. I like those, but when they are (somewhat) unrealistic graphics that stick out like the ones in SS08 do, they are not my cup of tea, really.
I read quite a few statements from players aswell that seem to indicate they're not well 'hidden' either and pop up at random sometimes without the player typing in any of the messages.This is not very enjoyable when you avoid triggering them, yet and are still bothered by them.
But to each his own, I guess..
Regards,
Fred
