Assetto Corsa Competizione 1.10.3 Adds 2024 GT World Challenge Grid

"Free" update??
We're talking about skins for crying out loud. There are very considerate individual people who post complete series skins on this very site, efforts done completely in their free time and shared with the community so a dev team producing skins is not some kind of amazing gift. It's a welcome addition to the game and thank you Kunos for that, it's a very positive feeling that the title hasn't been completly abandoned.
I have more concern with the missing content from an official series game, If I bought the F1 game and it had tracks missing and/or a team not featured I'd have to really query that, If LMU doesn't release all of the WEC tracks/cars that's a big issue, advertising, marketing & selling an official series game should be exactly that and people should stop selling themselves short because it's their favorite title.
I personally think Kunos is one of the better dev teams out there, both titles have had a major impact in this hobby and I very much look forward to the third, I have no affiliation to any particular sim, I have them all and can find some enjoyment in them all.
What I don't see as healthy though is the dev's releasing a sim, and then leaving it an unfinished or non completed feature state before deciding they are moving on to their next project, particularly rF2 and ACC in this case, people have invested in these sims only for it to get to a point where we're told "Yeah, we're moving on to our next project now and we won't have the time or resources to complete our last project"
What!! So by investing in the sim and DLC what I'm left with is ACC that has major faults offline with the AI, missing content, etc, rF2 with it's countless issues, and in all sense and purpose LMU looks like it's heading the same way, a game which should have hit the market in a sort of new improved rF2 2.0 kinda way, but has less features and doesn't run as well as rF2 and has come across as a "mini" rF2 instead of a 2.0, all I'm basically saying is higher standards should be expected.

And what features is ACC exactly missing? Did they promise you the whole content for the year 2024 in a game released in 2019? Please, quote me where they did that.

What?? I never mentioned anything about being " Promised the whole content for 2024"

rF2 has features missing , i.e, you have to turn to 3rd party programs to get any kind of league/results tables, etc, etc
ACC is unfinished, i.e, taken from their website,



Do you see the part where it says "Every official circuit is recreated with the utmost accuracy."
It doesn't just say "official circuits are recreated" because every circuit in ACC is an official circuit, it says "Every official circuit".
As I'm sure you're aware seasons 2020 and 2023 were sold as DLC so where is Magny Cours and Hockenheim??
If F1 goes to a new circuit next year or a new team joins how can they sell an official licensed 2025 game without that track/team?

Look, I have no axe to grind against Kunos, S397, ACC, rF2 or any other dev team or sim, I truly want them all to exceed. I whole heartedly appreciate the efforts of a group of talented people bringing their interpretation of a race car to the PC world and how all the sims are different based on the tools they work with and how each particular dev team views the data that transforms into our enjoyment.

But what I don't want to happen is in years to come from now I'm left with a bunch of half baked sims on my drive because developers are not completing their projects or at the very least catering for the long term before moving onto the next, ACC in it's current form is unplayable offline for various reasons and I'm far more concerned with this than the missing tracks, and that shouldn't be the case because if I wish to run offline, I can't, or in time to come when it is no longer a popular title and online has dissapeared it will just be a waste of money sunk into a project that doesn't have any use, now if I've got 5 or 6 sims that I sunk at least €100+ into each and they are all in some way or another not functioning as it should because devs have moved on it becomes a total waste, I don't want to drive a sim because it's the trend I wan't to drive it because I enjoy the experience whether that's today or 10 years from now, at least if the sim was left in a near intended functioning state before moving on I could fire up ACC 5 years from now and still enjoy the title at my pleasure and I don't think asking for it to be that way is asking too much.

What is missing from the game for example: there is only 1 season of the British GT. All the cars and all the tracks are in the game to continue, only the liveries and the championship structure are missing. Same with the Intercontinental GT and the European GT4. This is why one has a sense of absence.
