That's certainly true about beta testing. Despite many hours put in by the developers, it will be up to the many thousands of simmers to discover those hidden glitches which have not been revealed prior to release. As far as future titles are concerned, I can't think of a single opportunity for the developers. All seems to have been covered, except maybe for a brand new Korean War effort? Also, the RAF night bombing campaign sim collapsed after the lengthy initial development of Target For Tonight.
