I really dont know why the BF version was included.  I didnt think it was all that for space combat.

It's a shocking list really, but these clickbait things always are.

It's sad that Tie-Fighter is now lost somewhere in Disney IP-acquisition hel. It would be terrific if it ended up on GOG at some point.

Those in the list are really all from a similar sort of era. There are no more progressive indie titles that have come out since. And I suppose that's fine if its a nostalgia retrospective set in that era, but I'd have liked to see some of the new crowd included in the list.

In 2009 I did a round up of the best that was available

I'd also recommend SpaceSimCentral if you want to keep abreast of more current events in the Space Combat Sim games genre nowadays.
