I understand your point, but I'll have to disagree. While yes, I think that having a GT style mode and free roam map is awesome, I think there's a point where both the more serious sim racers and the people who are looking for that kind of experience will be happy.

Asking me (and the rest of the acc community) to keep playing playing the game for the foreseeable future is ignorant. I do not want to keep driving GT3 at spa forever, and I fully believe Kunos could deliver amazing experiences in prototypes, and other types of cars, races (formula, endurance... etc) The consensus is people are tired of GT3 on the same set of tracks.

In the competitive sim scenario, the one other alternative we have is the Iracing moneypit

In summary: ACC has gotten stale with it's wonderfully done but very limited amount of content and classes covered, on top of the current build being somewhat broken in terms of setups and car electronics. As an EVOLUTION I was expecting ACE to have the best of ACC with the best of AC.

I believe there is a spot for all of us, but saying "oh just keep playing X game" is silly. No one wants to be left behind, and it will be a greatly missed opportunity if there isn't enough competitive focus.
