Your opinion – Everyone sticks to sim racing, Slightly Mad can’t afford to continue, close up shop and the staff are out of a job.

My opinion – Slightly Mad give sim racing a ago, but in this tough economic climate can’t make ends meet, so do what they can do keep the company alive, rather than making their staff unemployed.

But hey, I guess Slightly Mad agreed with me, rather than yourself. That is good enough for me. Still want to talk about IQs?

They are doing what they need to do to survive and keep the staff in a job. If they didn’t, we still wouldn’t have a sim, and you’dstill be bitching anyway. So wipe that sand out of your vagina and think about it from Slightly Mads point of view. Survive, or go unemployed? Easy decision. Well, for those of us who live in the real world.

Now if we’re through with this childishness, let’s get to the point. Nobody gets into the PC car sim business to make serious money. It’s an extremely niche genre of games that most hardcore gamers, even gamers in general, seem to have completely lost interest in. Basically it seems people get into this business because they want to do what they love to do and at least make a little money at it. So it’s sad when a dev hits the skids and realizes that they have to “sell out” just to stay afloat because pretty soon “selling out” becomes easier and easier. Scary stuff.

Sure people need to do what it takes to earn some dough. However when you deal with EA, the price for survival can end up being a little too high.

Welcome to the real world. They are doing what they need to do to survive. Get used to it, because it is going to be a hell of a lot tougher than this with more and more companies feeling the squeeze of recession.
