I commend you for your positive attitude. I really wish I could look at it that way because I'm sure you get much more sleep than I do over the matter. I get hung up on the fact that it's a product and they put it on the market as a complete product with initial pricing to match. People did not get their money's worth. As I said, I paid little for it and still feel like I shouldn't have. I feel bad for those who paid the big bucks for it. UBI didn't market it as a basic platform for modding into a customized sim, they marketed it as a ready to play high end sim. What if automobiles or microwave ovens, televisions, cmputers, smartphones, etc. were produced and marketed using the same concept? "Oh, it's a great rig, but it could cut out or quit all together on you on the freeway. However, not to worry, we set it up for fixes from the community so you can expect some great potential from this baby." For my trial and error process of modding without "soup" issues, I got less than an hour of sim time as opposed to over seven hours of dicking with it, and my hour was cut short by a disconnected message. Yes, I was royally pissed. Who said the online requirement to play was a thing of the past? I'm sure they didn't make it up it's just another example in the myriad of inconsistencies with the latest UBIcrap to hit the market.

I'm not saying your attitude is wrong, mine's just different which obviously causes me more grief. I just think that a great looking automobile with a high price tag needs to run and that same philosophy should carry through with the production of all products. I might add that it appears that the software industry is the only one where you can't return a product that doesn't work. To me these guys are no different than the snake oil salesmen of the 19th century. It's "business as usual" to screw their customers... In my opinion.
