The guys running this project either have no clue or set out to swindle people from the start. Either way, karma is a b***h.
The reasons given make no sense given there hasn't been much change in the "global sim racing community" or whatever you want to call it. Since the "crowdfunding" for this none of the titles in our world have seen any sort of relevant-to-this-"mod" changes. "Mod", because in hindsight I don't think there ever was a mod.
Updates, plenty of them. However, major feature additions? No.
AC is still that hotlap sim for a lot of people, the same it was in March or whatever it was. Multiplayer is still "in need of repair" (also, if that is your reasoning, why not wait until 1.3 tomorrow?
) AI is still "in need of repair". No real weather system, no real road rubbering, no day night cycle...
rFactor 2 is still what it was back then as well. Great physics, FFB, probably the best AI out there when it's working right. Real road was always a thing, as was the weather system - which may I add could also a gallon size bucket of polish on it, still. rF2 has been out for 3 years now and it's been the same thing the whole time. It's still pretty much league only online as well, with participation certainly within the grasp of what SCE could realistically do.
Even still, we all know SCE will receive some updates that could be pretty major in the future. Why the hell would you announce a mod funded by this community is no longer coming to the game they play at this time? Even still, there are guys who could - and probably gladly would - get it in game - you know, the game people were told it was coming to originally.
Go ahead, bring it to AC and rF2, you could still bring it to SCE. You then look even better to the community as a whole, because besides "that guy" who always complains about everything, no one will complain that people in AC or rF2 also got the OzV8 mod. (especially when it was to be free for everyone regardless
)
So it's either someone setting out to swindle people or someone entirely clueless as to the happenings in this community and totally unwilling to ask for help or even communicate... Hmmmmmmm.
I don't see what this has to do with Reiza at all anyways - they delivered what was communicated unless there is some private thing we don't know about stating different stuff than what was publicly said by both groups.
Glad this one tickled the spidey senses and I kept my money.
