I'm usualy not participating in topics like these, since I know that people (mostly online) will keep moaning anyway, but this time I want to drop in my 2 cents.
If you would realise where this game has came from (I started playing just before S2 was finished) to what it is now, you can only say that Scawen is doing a superb job.
Yes, he does it at his own pace and works mostly on the things he find relevant, but then again, that is his choice to make.
He stopped working for a boss, because he was fedup of other people telling him what to do, when to do it and how he should do it, while he felt (and right he is) that he could do much better then those game selling companies.
Just take the last patch for example.
Many people will feel it was time wasted on optimalisations, while the current hardware is strong enough to run the game properly anyway.
While that is mostly true, it was creating a basis for the game to build on, so when the graphics will drasticly be improved, the game will still run fine on most of the hardware.
Besides that, the game is incredible stable as it is.
Network layer is one of the best I've seen in any game and the game gives people so much freedom to play as they wish as well.
Many cars to choose, many tracks (and combos within one track) to choose, the option to create and store your own layouts and then there's the option to do all sorts of things using the Insim protocol.
How many games have so much freedom for the players and is very cheap as well.
You only have to pay once (okay, per license (S1,S2, etc.) and then you can play as much as you want and get totaly free updates for a very long time to top it off.
As said, I'm not going to waste valuable time on trying to stop all the moaners from moaning (sadly the internet in general has become a place of people moaning, bitching, trolling, etc.) as it will be undoable, but realise what this game already is and what it is giving you in relation to what you have paid for it.
