that any one takes this seriously demonstrate once more how insane this community is. 2020 and this what some guys get exited about! Disgusting.
It's passion projects like this that allow us to experience era-or-subject-specific complete packages, not just sprinkled here and there as DLC and mod cars.
rF2 is the last remaining current generation open moddable platform and S397 isn't showing signs of opening up their own content - let's hope they keep the platform open.
We get what we deserve.
You can see what we get when we put our money into closed, unmoddable sims: Limited potential, limited support life, constrained by the vision of the developers, low bang for buck, short life-span.
But you see what we get when we support open, moddable sims: GPL 2020, GTR2 10th Anniversary, GTL 10th Anniversary, Race 07, AC Content Manager/Sol/Weather/Grass FX/10k mods/advanced shader physics, etc., and a 20+ year possible life span.
It's in the interests of developers to keep sims open, just like Assetto Corsa has proven, to keep people coming back to the sim.
It's in simmers' interest to keep supporting open sims, for our own benefit with mods, and to encourage developers to keep sims open in the first place.
Assetto Corsa Competizione and Automobilista 2 are harbingers of what's coming: The end of the infinite potential supported by platforms like AC1 and rFactor 2.
The future is actually darker, not brighter, than the present.
Choose your sims, wisely.
