Hehe, it's a lot about the reputation
Think what would happend if LFS goes final version with the barrier bug? The reveiws would slaughter the game.
Just to mention some things that makes me want the game not going final yet:
* Barriers
* Car classes are by FAR unbalanced
* Shadow / track bugs, nasty one
* Westhill update
* Cockpit updates (I use chase cam, but understand people are frustrated about this)
* The physics, not only the tyre physics here but overall
* The autocross needs more tweaking before final I think, ice ramps and other stuff makes it kind of not done yet
* AI and their problems
* Limited setup feature, stability controll and such
* Turbo lag in this game is by far too slow atm
* Some clutch changes, it's kind og unreal atm. Thinking about the heating
That's just some of it, there are tons more
