PC1 Let's give SMS a little credit here

Damage Inc · May 27, 2015

pCARS is a good sim, with flaws admittedly (which are not hidden and are discussed all over the internet), but is more or less 100% feature complete unlike other recent releases such as AC, R3 and I believe RF2 was not feature complete when released (although stand to be corrected). Xbone flaws are a mystery to all WMD members as we had nothing to do with that version at all. I believe SMS should get some credit for being a small team and releasing a complex game across 3 platforms (unlike the others mentioned) and as I say more or less feature complete.

It's not to everyone's personal tastes but tell me what is?

He is still very active on the WMD forum mind.

Which is odd because he's the CEO. You'd think he'd be, you know... Running the company, instead of arguing on a forum. Right? Lol.

You don't see Dieter Zetsche up until the wee hours of the morning arguing over the new C class.

No Chris you are wrong. Bmanic is far from the CEO. He's more like the doting tea boy.

Wow. Hard to believe he has the time to treat customers so bad isn't it? He's is own worse enemy sometimes. Any other retail industry and he'd have no customers at all. I surely won't be buying any more SMS products and that's a fact.
Infact all he is doing is breeding many many more haters.

if you loved that your gonna love this one

cant believe hes actually saying this to his customers that have bought his product and gave him a career and a livelihood to pay his mortgage!!!. He doesn't deserve it at all.!!!

Give CEO to someone who does!

WOW... Okay that thread/post by Ian Bell "Head of Studio" is the exact reason that this game / ('his') company will fail ... If I was CEO I would ban him from all forums,

@bmanic and @Damage Inc

Dear agenda-men, while you were accusing me and others of having an agenda, and forceful defending that small studio the same small studio now published this on their Pcars2 website.

So after three industry sources confirming it already it's now SMS themselves clearly proving they aren't a small team at all with a central studio in London and over 100 people working from home.

Apology in place you think?

Arne Dopudja · Jun 22, 2015

It's like the guy is using some basic reverse psychology so people apologize to him, even if they are right.

Basically a troll.

Msportdan · Jun 22, 2015

omg hes just started abusing VR users now. wow

http://www.virtualr.net/project-cars-2-funding-now-open#disqus_thread

is he the most hated guy in sim racing atm? or what?

Msportdan · Jun 22, 2015

I started playing it then uninstalled it after reading all his BS just out of principle.. Ill play anything than give that ^^%t any more of my money. Back to Reizas SCE and RF2 and even RRe cos at least jay is nice when speaking, even when he is under fire. Reizas Customer service is second to none, well and theres Tim for Rf2.

mod-edit: stay within the forum rules

Andy_J · Jun 22, 2015

Dan, I don't think it's wise to keep having personal digs at @Ian Bell He is a member here and it is against the rules. I am sure a mod will point it out quite soon.

He will stop you from investing in Pcars 2 if you are not careful.

For me though, I just don't understand why he seems to treat potential and current customers with such disdain. I really don't. But hey ho, they are the ones laughing all the way to the bank.

brilliant emerson "wink"!

But seriously your right. I suppose it was really all the hard work from the guys and gals who deserve the praise.. and to be fair theres always a pillock at the top.

But yeah im getting off the SMs/PCARS ride now, it amused me for a few days.. Go back to some proper sims.

Sorry.

You are right. Must not lower ourselves to their level.

Micas_WMD · Jun 23, 2015

Oh this is just lovely. Please never stop.

The bloodbath of "banned for no reason"s will hold nary a candle to what's to come. The SMS staff and mods are going to ban offenders straight off this time around. Then the banned will run to forums, such as this one, to post about how unfairly they're treated. That will, again, do nothing but help our cause. Then in a couple more years, we'll make another huge pile of cash.

Think ya'll can keep this up until I retire? Thanks.

Arne Dopudja · Jun 23, 2015

Micas has a good point. I think everyone has voiced the opinion of the game atleast once and that is enough. Anything more, it's just free publicity.

Chris · Jun 23, 2015

And that right there, ladies and gentlemen, is the reason that Project CARS is the laughing stock of the sim racing world.

Zero class, and a half-baked video game.

That's what people dont get or refuse to act upon to create change. Everything even waking up everyday is a choice. I'll stop before things get way too philosophical,,,

Arne Dopudja · Jun 23, 2015

The thing is. We have bought the game for 50€ or so. If you put 50 hours into it, it becomes a 1€/h thing. Not bad entertainment value compared to the movies for instance.

Sometines I get frustrated by the game or players so that is certanly a downside.

I will be buying pC2 no problem but not on release. I will wait a month or two and then consider.

Andy_J · Jun 23, 2015

Can't we ban trolls? They ban members for no reason. Surely he needs a lifetime ban.

As for purchasing Pcars 2. Not me. Oh no, I'd rather give my hard earned cash to a worthwhile charity than give it Bell and his ~~chronies~~ investors.
