Goodbye Flight Simulator?

Is this the end of Microsoft Flight Simulator as we know it?

Lockheed Martin has licensed the software and the intellectual goodies that go with it, marking the end of the line for one of the most successful game series in the history of computing, spanning almost 30 years since the original in 1982.

Microsoft has also disbanded the Aces video-game studio responsible for the Flight Simulator franchise and handed over the core simulation technology to Lockheed, which now sells the software to flight training device makers as a low-cost sim platform. Lockheed Martin’s eventual goal is to further develop the Flight Simulator software (now called Prepar3D) to the point that it can be used to train military pilots and UAV operators.
