Just for future info (if you're so inclined) you could have shift + P and rejoined. Telepitting was permitted , you'd just lose 1 lap.
I was looking forward to you and joaofrs continuing as you two were going to be my most likely competitors for finishing position. probably not much door to door racing, but some interesting strategy. My last 45 minutes felt kind of meaningless and I made a lot of stupid mistakes as all I had to do was "finish".
I just don't think people understood how the start was going to go. Because it was a "flying start" I think some people thought it was "go like hell" from the start. I didn't even accelerate because I knew people would screw it up
I think the level of polish contributes too. Tracks like Blackwood/Westhill/RO currently look much much better (and different) compared to SO/FE so there's a certain amount of "identity" just in the difference in resolution. Where all the tracks are getting upgraded to a relatively similar standard of quality.
Exactly the same kind of unhelpful response that scares people away. Bringing up decayed skeletons that have been dealt with long ago, hence why this account has been unbanned for my use.
I've created a League of Legends account years ago but I've never played a single match. Should people treat me like I'm an amazing player because my account is old?
It doesn't do anything but drive people away when you respond in a condescending and unhelpful manner. Telling people "lol just buy the game because you can afford a motion platform" isn't a helpful response.
Expansion packs are genuinely updates that segement the player base based on their ownership (or not) of the update.
Same with map packs for COD/other FPS games.
You might recieve bug fixes/balancing for the core game, but you're still not recieving the rest of the update for free.
Other games also use battle passes to create game modes that are segmented only to those who pay for the battle pass. DOTA tends to have a few special event modes for Compendium owners only, and even a ranked matchmaking mode that only applies for those who subscribe to the montly "battle pass"
That's usually why demoing a product exists? What if LFS didn't work with his motion simulator? Then he's bought a sim that doesn't work for his desired use case.
Just because a paid copy of LFS is relatively inexpensive compared to a motion platform doesn't mean that he should be expected to piss money away on a product that couldn't fulfill his needs.
