Anyone else concerned about MSG’s future?

Personally I think lots of these things are unrelatable to consumers. Nor we can fully understand what is really going on, nor we do know what are the agreements and how everything is planned to turn out.

While I respect the share of the information. It is just not for consumers to know these things. This is aimed to discredit a company which might soon grow into highly competitive player in the market. Besides that IMO there is also kind of "blackmailing" factor to it, where "if you don't pay us" we will make not nice videos about you. Or maybe it is not, I just don't know.

Eitherway it is quite pointless for us to worry about this all. I understand digging into topic why NASCAR game was not great. But getting deep into company finances inside stuff is getting slightly weird, whats next - making a video how Marcel got a ticket for speeding in 2006 and then again in 2009 (note, if I guessed this correctly, it is just coincidence).

You might well be right on the speeding tickets, it's too long ago for me to remember! :) People here typically won't get banned for voicing their opinion, as long as they do it respectfully. If you start personally attacking someone, that's where we typically draw the line. This is a forum, it's meant for discussing things. Over and out!

If I get banned or not should not be your concern.
I can be pro S397 and still don't like MSG. The same people love Audi or Porsche but don't like VW.
Also they don't feed me anything so I can bite their and your hand as much as I like ;)
Even more like I'm (or we consumers) are the hand they get fed with (or by? my english = oof)

You are right, if you are banned or not is clearly not my business. But what you still aren't able to comprehend is, that it would look a bit out of place to the people working in a Porsche store if you enter it wearing a shirt with a print like "F*ck VW". Next to the fact that you might find a few parts from VW on your lovely Porsche, that a few clever VW employes crafted with their skill and passion so that you are able to drive your lovely Porsche. Amazing, isn't it? Reading your statement makes it obvious that you never had an exchange part from VW, Audi or Porsche in your hands. Propably a Manta fan ...
There is a fine difference between voicing your opinion and saying "F*ck You" and it's astonishing that it needs to be explained. Anyway, ofcourse all people are free to voice their opinion but I hope that you are aware of what people say about opinions and a$$holes.
 
Yes of course it is worrying.

Especially as the MSG CEO is, shall we say, suspect, and known to have done similar things in the past, and has a current lawsuit active against him/MSG.

As the old saying goes 'Where there's smoke there's fire'...

This video is concerning about the future of Motor Sport Games and more importantly RF2.
I appreciate S397 probably can’t say anything publicly about this video, but can anyone offer anything up or further on this story?

I don't really see how this effects the future of RF2 at all.

I see the concern regarding MotorSport Games and the financial implications for that particular company in general but why would this be a lynch pin issue for RF2 ?
 
Can someone reliably say that MSG legally owns Studio 397 now? It has been mentioned (I have not verified it) that they only payed 1M for them, still owning 2.2M. Is this really true? And if it is what are legal implications of such a partial transaction? Are they still legally owned by the previous owner?

Just because EA bought Codemasters doesn't make F1 go bad.
Same thing with Motorsport Games buying rFactor 2.
At least in the short term they didn't end the game for both parties!
(I'm talking about EA, the best company at ending franchises)
I'm not protecting MSGM, so much so that I don't agree with how the sale of DLC's for rF2 is carried out, where content values are high and content is always lacking, you would buy one or more games, not worth the purchase (in my opinion) , probably the BTCC DLC will be like this!
Correct me if I'm wrong!

The problem is if MSG goes bankrupt, right? I don't know what is going on exactly but if you don't have money, you are out of business. That was the only problem. If they have money, they don't need to sell rF2 to anyone.

The thing about MSG in this scenario is: we don't have access to all the information (The really "BIG" picture). It seems there are more things going on behind the scenes with investors and even larger entities involved. The one thing we can say for sure is, there is a lot of speculation happening in regard to the future of MSG / rF2, with little regard to Macro level influences.

In other words, we tend to worry much about something we don't really understand. Better to relax a bit and let things play out over time. For now, rf2 seems to be making some good progress and we should enjoy what we have, now.

yep hopefully situation is much better than what it seems from watching these videos, Rfactor 2 is really on a roll now....it would be a terrible loss if something bad were to happen.(especially considering the low the number of truly hardcore niche sims are in market).
 
You have to see what certain people know about the stock market, companies and the economy;)


pd. and especially private companies.....
