Assetto Corsa Evo devs quietly changed Steam description, paving the way for Early Access price hike. The game wasn't updated in a month

Kunos Simulazioni studio declared that the price of Assetto Corsa Evo would not change until the early access release. But then the developers changed their minds and quietly edited the game's card on Steam without telling anyone.

    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.

    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.

          ETA: Comment in question

        lol, poor lads. The effort they put in each DLC is astronomical.

      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.

          They’ve said it will be moddable in the full release and that they intend to create their own platform to host mods

              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
