why does Jeremy have to punch the producer

Maybe the producer swung first?

Quote from FedtStensDyr :

Don´t want to derail the thread any further, but I don´t share your take on how Steam prices are set(I could be wrong of course). Didn´t want to start an argument, just state that they go for the money, as most do these days.

Well a company fails at being a company if they don't "go for the money". Steam is not the publisher of games on Steam, it is simply the distributor. Publishers set the prices for games.

Plus Valve, after almost 20 years of doing things still hasn't fallen into the "lets do evil to make more money"

Except their €=$ scam. Apart from that, Valve is great.

Except every non-EU company seems to use 1EUR = 1 USD. It's not like it's just Valve doing it.

It's not fair, but it's not a scam either. Remember that the publishers do set the prices for games on Steam, not Valve.

Valve is committed as well to supporting all 3 major OS' too.

Quote from Scawen :

It would definitely be good to have a unified interface so your program can render on whatever VR goggles you install. Just like you can use any game controller. But (without thinking this through in detail) hopefully the interface would not be controlled by Microsoft, as I suspect they would use it as another way to force people to keep buying the latest version of Windows.

Valve certainly isn't Microsoft. Valve also has been the beacon of hope for PC gaming, and without Steam, PC gaming (at least with AAA titles) would be practically dead.

Plus Valve, after almost 20 years of doing things still hasn't fallen into the "lets do evil to make more money" trap that most companies fall into. They still make boatloads of money while being not evil.

The other thing that's important is that Valve is open to letting anyone produce a VR system with their API and design. Which means that there may be options in the future of multiple devices, while the programming API stays the same.

Quote from Bose321 :

But back then there wasn't a single game that was worth switching to.

Anyway, I'm just patiently waiting. I couldn't really care less if Scawen still needs a year or two. As long as the final product is good for him, it's good for us.

The only thing I do hope is that there will be some content once the tyre physics are done, because I'm not sure if a single track and one or two new cars will be exciting enough to keep people interested for long.

I'm looking forward to what the future might bring to LFS.

There still isn't a game worth switching to for the stuff that makes LFS so special. AC has the content and the physics, but the MP system is so broken it might as well not exist. iRacing is awful in every single way. AC got so much hype because there was a few months of new content and features every 2 weeks for free.

FWIW: Valve of all comapnies will definitely be the most open and supportive of developers. They've already promised to be releasing an API that has 0 Steam dependencies (with 100% API compatibility).

In Russia, the only time is cyka time.

That's impressive that Coanda Simsport drove a full 6 hours by himself.

yes the team drove for 6 hours.

When did iRacing get 2006's hottest feature of driver swaps?

Next build?

Quote from Neilser :

Well I'm hoping that if Dave isn't too hacked off, he'll share the pretty cool infrastructure (scripts/PRISM/Airio etc.) that he had built up to help others pick up where he left off.

Wouldn't count on it.

Nope. Dave is probably pretty salty.

Good Riddance.

All Cargame seemed to do for the last 2-3 years was be a bitter twat about absolutely everything.

Have you installed D3DCompiler_43.dll as well?

Why is it that Racer X NZ always has to make his stupid image filled shit spam posts? Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK dude... you're hopeless.

On topic: I'd take the Mazda. Had a 323 V6 that never let me down.

He must be going to Reddit. The shitposts are strong.

Quote from nacim :

Why there is no driver hands in LFS ? :/

Some people enjoy them being disabled.

That's impressive that Coanda Simsport drove a full 6 hours by himself.

Yeah, Just UI stubs to redirect to the DLC info. Nice to know how that's done though.

Quote from tom0900060 :

LFS has been lacking of real progress and new features for years now, I don't see why the potential buyers would choose LFS over new sims like Assetto Corsa or Upcoming project cars etc.

I was thinking what would be a great new thing in LFS that would attract new people. Why wouldn't LFS become something like lol in terms of:

• New graphical interface - Big lovely welcome screen with music and animation playing in background and log-in window.
  
• LFS store - Instead of having two basic licences to buy, start off with one car only and add option to buy new cars, tracks, setups, skins with either real money or racing points.
  
• New scoring system - like chess.com has. Everyone starts off with basic score, let's say 1000. Depending on whether you win or loose, your score goes up and down. You're always teemed up with players that share similar overall score (+-200). That would also prevent mixing tops with less experienced players. Also, in your overall score goes not only wins but how well you drive. How much you deviate from racing live, how often you crash, how consistent you are in racing, how safe you drive, etc.
  
• New multiplayer system - similar to lol, but with cars and tracks instead of champions.
  

That would I think bring LFS on a higher level.

Do you like work for Riot and are the leader of their "How to make a shitty pay2win game" team?

Russians only drink vodka.

I like this game but 3 cars and 1 track in demo version is not fun for a long time and it barely convince anybody.

A demo version is not supposed to be "fun for a long time".

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Don't you think that a video on Russian news could potentially be altered/faked to introduce bias into the Russian opinion of the situation?

sure it can.but not this case.

Ah, such great proof!

Because Russian journalism is the peak of honest and unbiased coverage.

That's why over the years, there's been at least 1 or 2 a year that resign because they feel their journalistic integrity is being crippled by the state dictating what and how things should be reported upon.

I guess you also like the North Korean and Chinese news too for their unbiased coverage.
