Hahaha. Do not be naive. They do it for their self, not for us.
I will not appreciate just fact that some one tries to do something. But I'm ready to be thankful if the job is done good. From this point of view, doesn't matter if it will be ISI, SBT, SMS, Kunos or Kaemer.

lol. Oh I'm not naive. I know these companies aren't in the business of philanthropy. My point is that the companies that I mentioned do make "Sims" not NFS etc. EA will never put out a full blown sim and neither will codies because they know it will not sell millions of copies.
 
From facebook:
"As we approach crunch time, please be sure to share the rFactor 2 page with those you feel may be interested. Thanks!"

Now this sounds very optimistic :)

Release dates from software companies mean absolutely nothing anyways! lol.

That is not true at all. When a company like EA says game XYZ will be released on a given date there is hell to pay if it is not. They prepare and schedule massive ad campaigns that cost immense amounts of money that is paid whether the ads run or not so they do their damnedest to make sure that it happens. That is one reason games sometimes get shipped with missing features and bugs and, with luck, are patched later. When this much money is involved you can be certain that the release date DOES mean a hell of a lot.
 
Release of Beta

As much as it would be nice to have the release in the next two weeks, it might be more appropriate to wait until January. I am sure that we would all like to have someone available to deal with on-line purchase system load and other issues if they arise. So I would not expect anything to occur between Christmas and New Years! So if not early next week then January!:D But it would be nice to know rather than be left hanging!
 
By my calculations it will be released on my birthday 18/12/11.
R = 18 and F =6 R-f = 12 and 1+1 = 2 So ........................................
Sorry I'm bored I've been doing complex formulas for 2 whole weeks.
 
Have patience. As most modders know, there is nothing worse then hurrtying up and sending out an open beta just to realise with-in first few moment that there is something definitely wrong needing urgent changing. I think you will find that ISI feel this same way and would rather use the closed beta to find all of these areas of improvement and make sure that when the open beta does go live, that we will all enjoy our full 18 months of use without have to wait more weeks for major fixes to go through before we can utilise it properly. IS know what point that want to get it to to achieve this, let then get to that point, have patience and respect the fact that they are actually undertaking this project. No amount of whinging, whining or even begging are going to work, just wait in anticipation and take in the new news as it is released ont hese forums.

Well that's quite obvious.
There's no question mark at the end of the sentence. :rolleyes:

I never knew so many whining kids were into sim racing, especially seeing as it's not for the PS/xbox. :p

indeed, it's not a question. Especially since ISI say so themselves. THEY WON'T DO MARKETING UNTILL SOMETIME AFTER RELEASE..... and since it isn't released, the marketing is non-existing, JUST AS THEY WANTED IT TO BE!!!!!

Wether you agree with it or not doesn't matter, it is their product, and they should treat it the way they think is right, and the way the want to. Do you really think ISI will do it bad on purpose? It will only cost them money, so I don't think any company would do something wrong on purpose. I'm not saying ISI is doing it the right way, but also not saying that they are doing it wrong. It will turn out in the end how good they have done, and we just have to life with it. (Not to difficult, is it???).

PS: not intended as aggresive, or a personal attack, but maybe it comes different to your side of the screen. If that's the case, then sorry ;)
