Don't believe everything you read, especially when it sounds
a phoney as this one.

These are both reputable web sites listed on MSTS official web site
and I can not see why they would want to tell lies. I have checked
Amazon.co.uk who have had it listed for sale for some time, but it is
no longer listed.

Train Simulator 2 cancelled - Frans

After recently observing that its product page had been removed, we
inquired after the status of Train Simulator 2, and Microsoft has now
confirmed that this train simulation sequel has been cancelled. An
excerpt from the full statement: "The decision to cancel Train
Simulator 2.0 was made some time ago and was based on a long, hard and
difficult look at our business objectives and product offerings."
Consequently, we have now removed our game section for this title.

is it listed on the official website as cancelled?
If not, where did these sites supposedly get their information from?
If cancelled and not announced by Microsoft themselves, why didn't they
themselves announce it?
