Our two most prolific posters from the old site are not what they once were. Big Takeover is AWOL and Betta Lines' posting is probably somewhat constrained by his job. The third and forth posters were TJP and Mascot, who are thankfully still posting and keeping us informed. But esteemed as they are, they don't post at the rate Big Takeover or Betta Lines.Perhaps it's the rose tinted glasses talking, but back on the old site, it seemed that there was far more news around. rF2 was pushing monthly updates, AC was new and a hit, AMS had everyone talking, PCARS was controversial, R3E was going through major changes and iRacing was a huge topic. These days, the brands are far more established and don't have much to discuss sadly. The only new sim (ACC) has been quite the flop and doesn't really come up in conversation.So, I guess that's why we are where we are... at least that's how I feel.
Thanks marvelharvey.
It's really hard to find decent stories nowadays as there isn't a huge demand for news which is ironic as we have more choice than before. As marvelharvey stated, most of the sims are established and ACC is not a version 1.0 release and remains very much a WIP. I guess most news hits FB, Discord and Twitter long before the websites that people used to visit.
As for the sim related websites, it is very telling that Bsimracing is updated the most often & Team VVV is updated very often however they focus on every racing/driving game, VirtualR is dead or very close to it & the same can be said for ISR and RD is very much aligned with Kunos and ACC and are often slow on other sim news unless they have an exclusive.
Not sure what else we can post if news is slow or the sim doesn't have much of a following.
