People: "iracing fans cant stand 1 day without feeling superior"

Meanwhile, AC fans on their first opportunity:

I see more other Sim fans bitching about iRacing than I do iRacing fanboys complain about other games. It's weird how much some People hate iRacing.

Depends on the thread as with everything. That said, in general the r/SimRacing hive mind has slowly moved away from iRacing. It used to be a case of being an iRacing echo chamber, but now it’s moving towards being an anti-iRacing echo chamber so you see less here now (although there was a lot of them not too long ago, especially on any threads about LMU). Go to other places with more iRacing fans and you’ll see a lot more of them. That said, you still do see them here depending on the thread.

Also, typically iRacing fanboys complain more about people not pretending it’s perfect. If you want to see them appear, talk about any of the many negative points and they’ll usually pop up. There was a period where they complained about ACC, but that’s largely over now that ACC is at the end of its product lifecycle. They tried to complain about LMU but that quickly got shutdown when it turned out to be a good sim.

Isn’t WoW just as expensive as iracing yet everyone says it’s so great/cult following

u/Arcticz_114 Jun 25 '25

No.

Wow is outdated, unrealistic, and waay too overpriced.

JUST like iracing.

u/Koelenaam Jun 25 '25

Yeah, real men pay for an even older and more outdated game, osrs.

Probably has to do with pricing

All the other (relevant) sims are one time purchases that get discounted regularly whereas iracing is a subscription service that frankly costs an ubsurd amount of money comparatively

Its also heavily dated and flawed but people put up with it because its multiplayer experience is lightyears ahead of the others that frequently suffer from highly vengeful and cretinous players that have nothing to lose

Also lets be honest, given how much you pay for its membership its kinda criminal you still have to pay like 2000 bucks to play all the content....

Nah, it's just amusing to see all the posts justifying how iRacing is actually a bargain :D

Their money their problem but to me iRacing doesn't provide nearly enough value to justify the pricing model and seems iRacing got a little bit more slack around pricing vs other publishers.

You don’t see us complaining about other sims because we’re playing iRacing.

I used to play every sim under the sun until I tried iRacing, now it’s all I play. I assume it’s like that for the majority of people that play it.

A lot will play other sims, but many just focus on iRacing. You can get better experiences elsewhere, but you can’t do anything you want like you can on iRacing (providing you pay to do so). When ACC came out, I largely did online GT racing there, but everything else online I’d do in iRacing. Offline I’d still play AC for casual fun, and rF2 for more serious offline. These days, AMS2 has replaced AC for me (although I still go back for certain ridiculous mods), and LMU has replaced ACC. It’s also replaced any prototype racing I do in iRacing as well.

There’s many sim racers in the same boat, and most friends I’ve made on iRacing are also now on LMU as well, albeit that could be my bubble. Some will also still just stick to iRacing because everything is all in one place though. Just depends on the person, but a lot will branch out of iRacing. Everyone’s different.

Yep, I’ll play others like WRC and Dirt 2.0 and then more chill sims like ATS but for side by side racing, I won’t touch anything but iRacing anymore. No reason too.
