@bigsocrates: I'm glad you appreciate this nonsense as much as I do. I don't think I could replicate it if I tried, but here's an attempt, for fun and out of genuine appreciation for the craft.
Poll: Is the perceived recently popularity of racing games a result of the investments F1 gets as an industry from high-paying international sponsorships?
F1 has an effect on my personal racing game purchases.
I'm a fan of Formula One.
I've never bought a racing game and likely never will.
All of the above.
TL;DR I'm not talking about racing games with cars or even F1 games in particular, but racing games like kart games (Crash Team Racing, Sonic And Allstars Racing, etc.) and games where racing is involved (Speedrunners, Deathrun modes in Fortnite, etc.). Speedruns count if they're in the same category.
I'm asking because I've seen a lot of discussions where people write off racing games completely for being too realistic, but other people say it's because people are only interested in them because of F1. Sign off.
@atheistpreacher: I'll echo these concerns, although it's already a widely expressed sentiment. Every part of the site seems to have technical issues - the videos, the forum, the wiki. I don't have hope that much of any of it will ever be fixed.
It's interesting how the game selection has gone from always being the most well known/iconic game in a franchise to "remember this game that came out recently?"
Twitch Prime is a similar thing where it should be a premium service that removes ads, but instead there's Twitch Turbo, which is the actual thing that removes ads. I recently started paying for Turbo because I spend most of my time on Twitch, either watching or streaming myself, but it feels embarrassing to do so. Turbo comes with a chat badge like Prime does, but unlike Prime, I've seen several people with Turbo say they'd never use the badge because they don't want to be seen paying for the service.
Twitch Prime barely feels like any incentive at all, whereas Twitch as a company and Amazon in general have such a bad reputation that people don't want to give them money based on that alone.
And I got here from clicking "Cristian from Argentina's Top Games and Anime of 2023" on the front page. I guess when a link is a little broken but not too broken, it just dumps you here.
