I keep reading that term about this helicopter in various places around the interweb. How is it going to be a "game changer"?

They are claiming A109 level performance numbers. If one could acquire and operate that level of performance at R66 price points I could see that as a game changer. Other than that it's just a clean sheet of paper with best of the best features (thinking optimistically) in which case the operating costs will remain where you might expect them to (quite high).
