One answer that really stuck out to me was Scootaloo was never meant to fly at all, rather learning her true talents as discovering her weaknesses...
this was supposedly an idea Lauren had, but it's not something that can stay in place if Hasbro/the current team decide to change. there were a few other details to that, but regardless I'd prefer if this no-fly-scootaloo wasn't the case.
she has already tried to fly in the past, so the idea that she is disabled is depressing.
I only have £379.60, ($569.40) which my mother says isn't even half of how much I need for a better computer/laptop, so I've pretty much given up hope.
i've put together a custom (desktop) computer with ~$400 and it is capable of playing the game with the new update (on at least medium)
the computer megathread could help you out better with this.
