Let's admit it: after the release of the new generation of direct drive steering wheels (Fanatec, Simucube 2, Accuforce 2...), older devices will be considered obsolete, maybe not useless pieces of junk to be ashamed of, but just decent entry-level hardware for users who cannot afford the best. Owners of all those old models will no longer be premium and they all must be segregated from the real elite, who will look at them from above with a feeling of superiority. Users of old direct drive wheels will never experience the glorious new sensations provided by the most advanced technology, years ahead of the fake and dull simulation from the past. But we must also be merciful with those stuck in the old days, because we know how they feel after throwing away 1000 € in what was supposed to be the ultimate steering wheel, something to last forever, but now no longer the pride of their cockpits. We must encourage them to move on, to forget the past and their old technology and upgrade in a quantum leap to the future of simulation.
