from iRacing.couple of questions:
Where do these statistics come from?
What is their relevance?
i thought you were trying to show that.from iRacing.
Well the relevance is iRacing is getting more members and gets more popular and see no decline in anything.
It grows slowly but it still grows.
"unless its subscription is drastically reduced or removed, i think iracing will lose many customers.either way,"
Graphs show the exact opposite.
i'm still missing understanding the benefit of iracing over what is expected in AC (for example) other than driver points and leagues/regular competition (where generally you don't actually know the drivers competing against you lol) i'm not saying you think the price is not affordable but i'm asking why people would pay ANY subscription if the alternatives are on a similar level and don't charge a subscription?For me it's not about the price. Graphics is quite good and I don't have to go too high with brightness as in nKP or GSC2012 just to see where I'm going. But I don't like the way cockpit moves, don't like sounds, physics and can't say that FFB is the best I've experienced. All sims have different FFB so hard to judge. Different wheel, different experience.
Will they attract more people if they are on Steam? I don't think so.
i don't think there's any need to get "shirty". my "judgement" is based on history business and the world rather than 2 Iracing graphs. In life people often have to make judgements based on an element of uncertainty. if they don't, they often fall by the wayside. i'm not guessing, i'm being rational and using experience. i'm happy to accept that you have a different opinion but please don't get irate if i don't share your opinion. ;lets agree to disagree.i often agree with you but not on this point.On your side there´s guessing (at best)
On the other side is cold hard facts that iRacing gets more popular and gets more members.
I´d be happy to show you new graphs when AC, Rfactor 2 and Raceroom is out.
Funny how you base everything on that people just drive one sim too.

i think you have hit on the main selling point and william did too. it seems about ease of access to regular competition. i like the idea of the points system altho it occasionaly makes you (the driver) a victim. i currently have a free 3 month trial. i like the regular racing it offers. at the same time, i don't know the people i race against (lack of community) and in the future, i would expect other companies will adapt and develop the online community/ leagues (e.g. fifa have done it and call of duty black ops 2 has started) something which is currently lacking...good for racedepartment though.The flexibility of the schedule and the simulation that is the best in overall terms. Also the iRating and SafetyRating system I love.
I'm never able to race in RD leagues regularly, therefore I can't sign up. Before I had iRacing, I was without racing for two years... since I have it I think I did like 300 races in one and a half years.
i don't think you read my previous post. might help if you read it.Your statement that iRacing will dip in membership when AC and Rfactor gets released is a guess.
if that is true, about being banned from forums, i can see why. for the record, i'm nearly 33 so guessing that I'm guessing isn't going to make me cry. sorry to disappoint you.Yea i´m employed by iracing... banned from the forums, quit iRacing 2 days ago to focus 100% on the upcoming title AC and generally like to hate on iRacing.
Will be interesting to see if your guesses are correct.
No you give us proof of your claims.if that is true, about being banned from forums, i can see why. for the record, i'm nearly 33 so guessing that I'm guessing isn't going to make me cry. sorry to disappoint you.
p.s. please send me proof/evidence/data to prove that I am guessing or aren't you being a little hypocritical?
No you give us proof of your claims.
"My opinion" does not count as proof. Or "I´m rational, i´m using experience" does not work either.
As far as banning, i got banned because i can´t shut up when trolls start talking jibberish.
A bit like what you are doing now.
I actually got banned once for defending the opinion that Europeans should have their own server farm.
2 weeks later we got a European farm..
The fact that you deny that you are merely guessing without providing proof of it being the opposite merely proves my point.
I´m also positive you have some more "You must be employed by iRacing" claims too.
....also with no proof but instead another guess. Which obviously was wrong.
So you just confirmed what i have been saying all along. You are guessing."My judgement" counts for more to me than Hampus' 2 graphs lol
So you just confirmed what i have been saying all along. You are guessing.
I rest my case.
I just love your logic as well.
you - Santa exists
me - show proof
you - no you show me proof i´m just guessing he exists
me - WUT?
"It's mine!"You lot sound like two 5 years old deciding who takes the figurine with the big gun
