That is the "gamertag" for Larry Hryb who is the Director of Programming for the Microsoft XBox Live network, which includes all Games for Windows Live (GFWL) titles.
Larry posts the list of most played games, by unique users, every week.
Perhaps not everybody here follows the fate of Flight, so this might give you an idea.
At release, Flight was immediately the second most-played GFWL game on the Live network, after GTA IV (no surprise there.) It remained second for a couple of weeks.
In its third week after release, it descended to third place, Age of Empires and GTA IV were above.
In its fifth week, it descended to fifth place. And the latest Major Nelson list shows that Flight, in its seventh week after release, climbed back up to third place, below Age of Empires and GTA IV once again.
So, it seems the game is doing surprisingly well. I have been told that this is because the Steam network must now also be added to the total count.
I imagine that Alaska will push Flight all the way to the top.
Best regards. Luis

Funny how age makes one see something that isn't there: As soon as I read "Major Nelson" I immediately thought of the TV show "I Dream of Jeannie". ;D Bruce

On the contrary... Larry chose that gamertag precisely because he is of the age to remember ... Jeannie! ;D It is a reference to the TV show.
Best regards. Luis

Well, I didn't expect that! Thanks, Luis. Bruce
