It's something that would certainly help although I've never actually used that before. There's something here in Brazil called "Boleto Bancário" (no idea what that's called in English) which is something that allows you to print out a document and use your local bank to pay. It's what I use to buy games on Steam, for example. That site you listed apparently supports it, which is awesome, and would definitely help more Brazilian players buy an S2 license, especially now that we have an accessible price for it.
Well, now I actually don't really need that, because someone was generous enough to actually give me an S3 license, and to be perfectly honest, I have no idea how to thank them!
PayPal is the only available payment method that works in Brazil, but guess what? That crap requires a credit card, which I don't have, making it impossible for me to use it.
I repeat once again, if I could buy the license I would have already done so. As it is right now, S2 could cost £1 and I still wouldn't buy it, not for lack of want, but because I simply can't.
I logged in just to say this, because some people are too stupid to realize this.
THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE GOD DAMN PRICE, THERE ARE TOO FEW PAYMENT METHODS.
It's because of this lack of payment methods that seeing a licensed Brazilian player is very rare. Many of us don't buy the license not because we don't want to, but simply because we can't. I'm one of them.
You can drop the price do £1 and I still won't buy it, because there are no payment methods I can use.
I always said that the biggest problem with buying a LFS license in Brazil wasn't really the price, but rather, a lack of proper payment methods. But I changed my mind. This game is not worth my hard-earned cash.
I'll admit this now: I played on a LOT of cracked servers for several years. Yeah, ban me. Do whatever the **** you please.
But let me leave this here: There's a very good reason why there were more people on cracked servers than on legit ones, and it's very simple: The cracked servers are just that much better than the legit ones, and not just because of accessibility: They provide a better experience.
You can ask any licensed cruiser, they'll tell you: TC has nothing on the cracked cruise servers and never will have. The cracked servers are millions of times better.
If you cannot accept this, why don't the legit servers make an effort to improve their InSim, hire better staff and all that jazz? What was the last big update to LFS? The new Westhill, OVER A YEAR AGO. And since then we don't even have a teaser of what's to come. I know it's only three people, but I've seen scratch-made track mods for other games that took less time than Rockingham took to get released. If your stuff is taking this long, isn't it time to come out of the closet and admit your game engine is a complete pile of trash? Because that's what it looks like.
Scawen, Victor, Eric, I'll leave this little tidbit: You are a bunch of incompetent douchebags that want to charge AAA price for a game made in 2002. If you want people to pay for this game, make it worth the money.
I never thought I'd live to see this day! It's a shame even S2 is expensive as all hell in my country, let alone S3. From the screenshots alone I can tell you guys worked hard on this. What a christmas present!
R.I.P. Justin Wilson. Unfortunately he succumbed to his injuries after being hit in the head by debris from another car during the IndyCar race at Pocono on Sunday.
I was hoping I wouldn't get to read something like this. Again an incident involving head impact, again a dead driver. First Henry Surtees in 2009, then Bianchi, and now Justin. How many more will have to die this way?
