Yeah thats what they should do however seems they've moved away from doing the whole fictional track/name thing which is a shameWell, only removed in the sense that if you don't already have it, you can't download it.
That Silverstone-version will be kept online for ages. Who knows, maybe it will go back to rF1-style, and be called Northamptonshire!
No, just new users won't be able to get it. A good bit of advice would be to zip up the current rFcmp file in case you have to delete and restore rF2. You can find it in the steamapps workshop foldersBut if they remove it from the workshop, won't it also disappear from the game?
I hope this is just something related to the current MSG issues and not a sign of things to come.
When asked about the BTCC game and the current influx of BTCC content into rF2, S397 stated the two were separate. I took that as rF2 gets the 2022 & 2021 season and some, but not all of the tracks. The official game, if it arrives, will cover 2023 and ALL of the circuits.Wow BTCC license holder and won't pay to renew Silverstone License. Motorsports games is doing a really wonderful job with rf2.
So if you don't do that anything dropped content will disappear like the 2 Nissans did, like the "other" LochDrummond, Monaco and others.
and the renault meganesI wonder how much of that we've got backed up on our servers.
What Nissans? And was the Loch Drummond just called Loch Drummond (earlier year)?
Another coffin nail for Steam.... as soon as you connect rF2 it will delete anything not meant to be there.

I hate to say it but I have never had my content remvoced in iracing an yet its a commonly used trope with rfactor that at least you buy the content and can use it whenever you want.Another coffin nail for Steam.
This is tantamount to you buying a book, enjoying it, and putting it in your bookcase. A year later a plagiarism lawsuit forces all bookstores to remove it from their shelves. That is fine, but it does not allow those stores to send someone to your house and confiscate your copy.
Once you purchase something it is yours, regardless of whether the vendor still has license to it.
are they still there? my bad maybe i just havent got them installed
Where does steam come into it? cant go blaming the platform that things are on. Stuff like project cars or dirt 4 that have been taken off sale you can still download if you own it theyy still host the files just dont offer it to buy? really dont get your point. Its 397's choice to take it out of the workshop once the licence is up. Probably because theres no way to limit it to only people who bought rf2 at the time it was licenced to download it. And its now too late to switch it to a store item like DLC for the licencing reason.Another coffin nail for Steam.
