Quote from Intrepid :Feedback and criticism are two different things. The LFS team have had a barrage of unjustified criticism. They supply a product for £24 or whatever it costs. It's unbelievable value. But your buying a licence to access LFS's content, not a licence to publicly criticise the development team on a regular basis. I know your not one of the main moaners, my comments are based at the group on this forum that think it's helpful to moan.

OK, if LFS didn't work, and the content was sub-par, and you felt you didn't get your money's worth, then for sure, complain or whatever. But LFS is amazing value.

The nature of sims in general means communities often ask for more and more and more and more updates. If you were spending hundreds a year, like with iRacing, then yes you would expect this service, but £24 for LFS? come on!!!! It's a bargain!

I am repeating my self again and again and this will probably be my last comment on the subject. People keep on attaching their own expectations of what LFS should be, and then measuring it's success against that. This is fruitless task because everyone's expectations differ.

The only expectations that matter are that of the developers. Maybe I'm wrong, (I appear to be speaking for the developers here, when of course I am not) but I am sure they are immensely proud of the community and it's success. Obviously LFS has done something very right to attract such a large following, but to suggest that the developers have to now realign their motivations just because the community demands it appears to show a misunderstanding of how the LFS developers work.

For me, Scawan can take as long as he wants. He's doing something he truly loves, has a passion for, and in a way he wants. I think everyone would love to be able to live their life like that. And if I can benefit from the devs hard work down the line, brilliant!

100% agree - that's exactly the point...
