Hi @The Almighty Snark. Very good question, thank you 
You won't lose any benefits for sure. In the process of adding and joining features, we are investigating restructuring the premium accounts. We will be very careful to make sure you will only profit from this step. We are not planning on taking any features away, only adding to it to improve your experience.

So this means the Downloads section will be maintained in full? And if so for how long? How much influence will a company like Porsche have on RD from now on?
What is the situation with the enormous modding community on racedepartment. Will the entire suite be maintained and the same sort of access and ability to upload remain?

And now that Porsche owns RD will the Porsche related content be maintained or scrubbed from the downloads section?
I merged your question into the existing thread @BrightCandle.
To add to your question: the modding community will stay and we will add extra features to make the experience much better: faster download speeds, better search options etc.

So RD club racing leagues and paddock forums should stay pretty much as is, plus any "new features"? Just want to make sure the great racing and moderators will still be here
Were there any guarantees or commitments in writing about maintaining downloads and with regards to modder independence given Porsche's Overtake involvement?
Storage and bandwidth must be one of the biggest costs here
It would be an early obvious cost-cutting measure to boost profits

This merger sounds very interesting but has me worried about the download section on Racedepartment. Will things stay the same? Or is there going to be new rules put in place. I'd hate to see the tens of thousands of skins and mods vanish just like countless other sim racing communities mod sections have in the past there is so much content here.
Regarding the modding concerns I have answered these in this thread: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/upholding-download-tos-in-the-future.255544/
Ill close this thread and continue the modding questions in the thread above.
