I used to love SIM BINS games (GTR series, race 07 etc) Raceroom is bad
Some time ago I would have agreed with you. In fact, until rather recently I would have written a post that made yours look like a fanboy wrote it.
But after discussing the game with some of Simbin own devs and seeing the changes they have implemented, I am open to giveR3E another shot.
And since I work in software, one (or more) days delay won't be the thing that makes me change my mind over it.
TBH, after we discussed R3E in this very forum, and after I was able to clarify a few things and see the changes on my own, I was really hopeful that things were finally on the right track 100%.
Much more troublesome to me than this small delay is the recent news of Simbin being liquidated and then it wasn't and then it changed its name and so on.
That did not help the company.
Is Simbin gone? CLose the door and say goodbye.
Is it reorganized? Then why change the name? When Coca Cola changed its formula it kept the name. "Sinbim" is a legendary name in this sport. Whatever the motives, getting rid of Simbin even if just in name only, was a silly move. (and we still see the name being used on this very forum today, talk about confusion).
One of the things we had identified as problematic was the lack of communication between Simbin and its fans. I am sad to see that's still going on, to the point where we don't know what the name of the company we are discussing is.
Tell you what: I think Simbin has the chops to make an excellent sim out of R3E.
I think their Pay to play system was a big mistake, even if it made them money in the short term.
I think there is people there that want to go back to their former greatness but I also think there is a faction, or an individual, with a great deal of power and influence that is making some bad choices.
Such as letting the closure of Simbin become controversial and clear as mud news, setting a deadline they could not live by 2 weeks ago and generally keeping too many things still not mapped out for the community to create a decent buzz.
I hope this person/group either gets a clue or finds another job.
But I still trust in the game.
