Actually I missed out on the discounts when I resubbed
I don't want to imply that I need my money back or something, not at all. I buy any sim racing game that comes out on the market because I want to have it myself in order to have an opinion and as a support to keep our sport alive. With iRacing you have to make a huge investment to own all the content. I knew that up front so you don't hear me complaining about that.
I do complain about the fact that they officially confirmed these anticipated endurance features for Q4 2011 and don't deliver and lack to to clearly communicate about that. The first time it got postponed I had to find it buried in a huge thread on the iRacing forums where two lines were dedicated about it and now I have to read it on Twitter.
They seem to forget that communities with a lots of leagues like ourselves do a lot of planning up front to make everything fit in a schedule. Ever since June I have been contacting some very well known sim racing teams and asked them to take part in our announced RDiLMS but what do we tell them now? Just wait until its done?
From a company that charges me so much money to race in their service I expect them to meet deadlines they announced and if they can't then I would like to be informed why its not ready in time and hear an ETA when it does. "Hopefully soon", "In development" etc are not enough. I can accept that from an ordinary game developer that sells me a game for a normal price but not from a company that needs to charge me every month to benefit from their services on top of the purchased content.
iRacing learned from it, they are now a lot less eager to announce realese dates and such which is a good thing.
Is it? They announced with a lot of hype iRacing 2.0. 2.0 imo means a whole new game experience. So far they have absolutely not delivered a new game experience to me. What was so groundbreaking they had to call it 2.0? NTM?
Enough complaining, let's hope they release a flawless working driver swap system as that is what endurance sim racers have been waiting for. It was for me personally at least the reason to renew my interest in iRacing after I gave up the first time in 2009..
The Le Mans Series in rFactor has been one of the, if not THE, coolest race experience I have ever had in all those years of racing but the bugs with driverswaps and disconnecting issues and the incredible lame physics and lack of grip of the enduracers mod forced me into the direction of iRacing. iRacing has huge potential when they have all the endurance features working properly in game.
Lets hope it will be here soon.
