I don't play LFS anymore (or if so, very rarely). Still. I follow the forum to watch what is going on, sort of like following a story and waiting to see how it ends. Patch or no patch, how many games survive for more than 5 years, much less than the nearly 7 years LFS has been going on? I think we knew all along with just 3 people on the team, that the pace was going to be slow and that ultimately it would become an outdated game, but that doesn't mean it's not interesting, and there are still over 1000 players online at peak times, although it's not the same players from back in the peak days of racing games 2003 -> 2006.
