Cant wait for the “something isn’t right… my favourite game isn’t popular? Damn arcade kiddies”

Assetto Corsa: 8,707.9, thank you Kunos for this outstanding simulator, still gaining in popularity after all those years. Just phenomenal.
It was already special when all it had was a Lotus Elise hotlapping at Magione.
Now that it has more content available than one can possibly hope to drive in a life time, it is a monument.
Downloading the latest track recently built in Hungary as I write this and looking forward to try this latest addition.

The Crew 2 will be taking off as you will be able to move most of the cars unlocked in that over to The Crew Motorfest, so it's a cheap way to unlock content early!

To me, it's evident that story-based arcade games outperform simulations, except for AC. It makes me wonder why developers bother with simulations. Perhaps it's time we show appreciation to those developers who take the risk of creating what we truly enjoy.

The direction needs to change, in a connected world where everyone interacts and competes some devs still didnt figure out what iracing figured out a long time ago ( even with a shady sim and shady payment model ) .... Private leagues are important but cant be the norm for some sims... and better integration needs to happen with the ones that use 3rd party apps to have organized championships and races, some like simracingsystem ( the first to come up ) had to jump so many barriers that for the devs of the games themselves would be easy ... being a good sim isnt enough, people need objectives , goals, better cheat protection, a place where it makes sense you keep coming back to "build" a reputation or compete on a regular basis ...

I hate story based sims... are they even sims? 99% of Iracing peeps don't use Steam. I'd love to see the real numbers for sims (on Steam and not on Steam). I'm sure Iracing would trounce a few of these right off the bat.

As an AMS2 main user, I never thought I would see it have more racers than rFactor 2. And bearing in mind that the latter is probably on its best shape ever (cannot say with certainty as I uninstalled it many moons ago and I'm not looking back), I cannot understand why it's so low on the charts.

RF2 is not getting much developer attention, for obvious reasons. Could be that gamers see its on its end of life cycle and don't want to invest the time. AMS2 is getting better and better as well and pulling people like me away from RF2.

Every month is a pleasure.

No article on Simacing.gp updates?

In other news, Taylor Swift is streamed more than "real music" like King Gizzard. Damn basic kiddies.

Oh, you prefer Greta Van Fleet? That's not the real thing, that's simcade.

as in... single player off line sims that are not beholden to a third party launcher and distributor.
yeah, perhaps that's why I like the older simbin titles, I'm not tracked every time I decide to have a play.

yeah, I'm not a fan of steam, but you might have figured that already

How does this warrant being two separate web pages? Just make it one page. It's a simple article.

Well, CSP and the no hesi kids on Shutoku are a good chunk of the numbers

Greta Van Fleet is like the mobile game version of a PC hardcore sim called Led Zeppelin
