So, all is said. No one cares
Evidently people do. I've been trying to wrap my head around this since yesterday - I'll try to explain.
First of all I have followed your work for a while, driven almost everything and thoroughly enjoyed it. The Audi - as far as I can - tell represents a new level of quality so congrats. I think to some degree I am just a bit cranky because I would have to register to yet another site (not a patreon member) but that is not all that important. And I agree with you guys giving your supporters a bit extra and given the quality is there, I have no problem paying for mods (I own almost everything from RSS, VRC and URD for instance).
What kinda annoys me is that "buy us a beer" talk, sorry, but if I payed to get the mod, I'd buy a mod, not a beer - and to be honest, we don't buy people beers to get a car, we do it so they would drink that beer with us - not that I think you wouldn't do that, don't get me wrong. I have decided that I don't want to support this at the moment, because I don't know what I get yet - everything I drove from Guerilla was fun, well done in a lot of ways but lacked the polished feel I get from RSS for instance - I will reconsider once I have seen a review from someone I know and once I can get a whole GT2 field - but I would prefer if you guys gave your patreon supporters the well earned reward now without advertising everywhere or just sell it to us in an honest way like others do. By the way, that SimDream comparison you really do not deserve - as far as I can tell all your work has always been original (brand license is a nother matter I don't really care about, let Audi decide) Just my opinion, you do as you please, but maybe this will help make sense of why some people are a bit concerned about this.
By the way, I am relatively new here, decided to finally take part in discussions, cheers, everyone!
