Since the sim racing “community” is extremely biased towards their favorite game, i see no reaction and lots of understanding from fans.

I saw one comment on Steam:
“I hope so because it really made no sense at all selling the game at its current price. I feel I didn’t really pay enough given the typical cost of games”.
Eagle Dynamics would like to have such fans in DCS.

Plenty of G*mers out there who would gladly just give their wallet over to their favorite developer/publisher. Even here on Lemmy. I even got downvoted for telling someone that no one was forcing them to buy the next new console when it comes out, and they replied that yes they will if their partner finds out about a particular new game. I was flabbergasted.
It doesn’t surprise me at all. In fact I’ve seen other similar comments on other steam games that people like riding the dick of.

Kunos has built a lot of good will in the community with the modability of AC and long term support for both AC and ACC. The AC Evo early access has been real clunky but they earned their fans and their understanding.
I agree, although I think that they would understand how harmful a lack of mod support would be to the game. I hope they do, anyway

Reminds me of Bethesda's storefront for paid mods that they tried out for Skyrim's special edition in 2023. Hopefully they don't pull a bait-and-switch on their players and it's just a platform for free mods.
There are a lot of paid mods for the original AC, so I expect that will be part of it. However, I do think that there are two other reasons for the devs to want to host a platform of their own:
Being able to remove content ripped from other games, which will help keep them out of trouble
Giving users the option to automatically download the mods necessary to join a multiplayer game
Yeah, but requiring payment for a mod is the modder’s decision for AC. For AC EVO, I’m concerned Kunos is going to make that their decision.

I don’t like that, but I’m still refraining from buying the game altogether because of it’s ridiculous always-online requirement. The predecessor wasn’t like that, and there’s no reason for the singleplayer segments of a racing simulator who enjoyed extreme longevity through modding, to be stuck on remote servers that can and WILL be shut down at some point in the future.

ETA: Comment in question

Will EVO be modable? Will it need always online to play singleplayer?
They've said it will be moddable in the full release and that they intend to create their own platform to host mods
That needs to be taken with a grain of salt after this silent move.
