I could be wrong, but I think they do care what others are making.
If the others are FlyTampa or Orbx, or Aerosoft, yes...but surely not everyone. We released KDFW a month after Blueprint, and it hasn't affected our sales at all.
Besides, we are not thinking FS9+FSX only anymore: MS Flight is coming, and the smaller companies will have an hard time catching up with it, at least initially, just like when going from FS9 to FSX.
That's great news if I am understanding this to mean that you guys are going to proceed with KMIA.
Personally, I agree with what you said about the others like FlyTampa,Orbx, or Aerosoft, but when it comes to a virtually unknown developer that has been on then off, and now back on with a scenery, then I would proceed as well. This news comming out just now is a little late in my opinion since you guys just recently confirmed that you would indeed do KMIA.
Maybe a last ditch effort on thier part, but if they were really in such a hurry to finish this and get it to market, I would have imagined they would have come out with that news far earlier than a day ago.
Just my .02
