and... how are you guys...?
most of the people here demand and demand and demand more things, better things, fixed things, and i´ve even seen people get angry at not being able to do something with the game...
and a very few people care about the developers... how are you guys, how are you doing?, are you acomplishing your expectations with the game... is the development process going smoothly as you expected?, and one of the most important questions, are you guys financially ok?
excuse my bad english, i´m from chile, and i´m the owner of a small simcenter with 6 cockpits at the moment, that i´ve been trying to introduce here in my country...
and as we all know, the developers might have started this project out of fun, and everybody is having TONS of fun... but experiencing my situation, where i also started a simcenter business out of fun... we can´t live with fun. Fun doesn´t pay neither the rent, bills, and you can´t buy computers with fun. I had to keep my old computer technician job in order to mantain VF1 Motorsports (the name of our simcenter), because it´s my dream, and everybody is having fun with it, but it´s real tough, and it´s still tough while nearly a year from starting, i´m finally starting to earn a little bit more than what i´m spending monthly. I still have to keep my old job or i´m broke, and it´s really hard to keep up... i have even tought sometimes to trash everything and live like a normal guy, but considering the intial investment that we made along with my wife, we just can´t do that..
that´s why i wondered, if the developers of LFS are getting what they need, what are the plans for future releases of Live For Speed, are you guys working full time on LFS or you have to keep side jobs in order to keep up with the demand of all things?.
i know a lot of people is going to hate me for this... but i suggest LFS S3 to be subscription based.
come on guys.. people are spending almost $300 on steering wheels, money that´s going to a retailer, or to a manufacturer that doesn´t really needs that money..., i´m not saying that everybody does... but at least you spend $100 in a momo or a DFP.
The developers need money in order to keep this wonderful project working... i´ve even considered donating a monthly percent of my profits (when i get some finally
), in order to provide support to the development team of LFS... and i think the best way to keep up a wonderful project like this one is a subscription based system for the new upcoming release of LFS.
You´ve seen how games with this kind of system recieves support... the mounstrous example of World of Worldcraft, i know there is no point of comparision considering the target customers, but with that system, the developers are going to get everything they need, and we are going to get almost everything we demand... considering the guidelines of the original concept of the game.
the subscription shouldnt be as high as wow´s but a couple of bucks a month, will generate a constant and even more important, a predictable income for the developers to hire staff, establish a solid enterprise, and keep having fun with awesome releases with constant and always even better improvements as we have seen up to now.
i might be speculating yes, but i care about this kind of stuff because i´m experiencing it, and if the developers have managed to get to this point where we have the most advanced racing simulation game available from them, i´m pretty sure that keeping up the project is more than three times more demanding and complicated than it was a couple of years ago when the development of S1 was planning S2.
i want to hear opinions of those in favor or against a subscription system, and moreover, i would like to hear about the developers, is there anything we could do for you guys?
