And the same software drives the sim in both cases. It's the same "game."

The difference is that the 'Kiwi' is populated by pilots who give each
other feedback on real life problems they have observed throughout
their flying careers both as PPL's and CPL's and testing the different
solutions possible in safety.

Those who try the Kiwi appear to, in the main, be real live pilots.

Whether or not the sim is a game has nothing to do with the people using it
(or "playing the game"). If a six-year-old steps into a full-motion sim, that
doesn't turn the sim into a game.

Bad simile.
For the 6 year old it -is- a game!
For trainee flight crew it is a full on 90 minute hour and for line
flight crew it is maintaining ratings, route famil and the constant
training/revision required..
