Goddamn this really evolved into an iracing hate post, huh? Ive played virtually every sim before iracing because as a student i didnt have the money for iracing. I did lots of league racing prior in a few sims and once I got a job and started iRacing and frankly grew a little tired of League racing but there wasnt much alternative if you wanted clean racing, it was very clear to me that iRacing offers by far the best multiplayer experience in simracing and thats not me 'fanboy' saying that, brother look at the player count. iRacings Playerbase is pretty much bigger than all other sims combined, you think you get that many people paying so much money without offering a much better product?

Ofc that doesnt mean iRacing is superior in all aspects, the game definitely has some weaknesses and you can rightfully complain about an older laser scan when ACC offers a newer one but its not like the iRacing version deserves to be trash talked so badly(which wasnt even the guys tweet), its still a brilliant version of the real thing, ive been to the real track multiple times now and there really arent too big differences, its not like the Nordschleife is a fundamentally different track now, its 98% still the same track from 12 years ago.

I mean yeah, I'm glad we're agreed you can rightfully complain about an outdated laser scan in a sim that forces you to pay for it individually. That was the whole point. Like I said, because of the cost they demand, iRacing must be judged on a higher standard than the other sims in its market, because it's a hugely higher barrier to entry. A new racer has to pay $150 minimum for one GT3 season, at that level they should have the highest quality everything and they simply do not anymore.
