Simraceway shutting down?

[Seahawks1Fan]

Just read this. I know a few of you have this title, but looks like the end is near.

I didn't figure they would last long charging $38 for an F1 car. I always looked at it as an overpriced rFactor mod. So far Iracing is the only sim that has figured out the pay as you play system.

Bad news for folks who have invested in this.

Hm. I feel that there are too many sims coming to market right now. Regardless of the what they brought to the user in the way of new features, with rF2, pCARS, AC and Simraceway (and probably a couple more I'm forgetting plus the rF1 and iRacing community) that's too many choices to be sustainable in what is a relatively small market.

Saw this on the comments section of the article from a Phil Davadson at Simraceway
Man, this could be like a Nascar brawl.

Just got wind of this, unfortunately - for VirtualR traffic volumes - the rumours of our demise have been greatly exaggerated.However we have had a really tough break of late and so had to let some folk go but the operation is certainly not shutting down and we’re continuing to develop and push out new content – feel free to check out our new Skill Sharding, this weekend saw some of the closest racing we've yet achieved.All the best,PhilP.S. VirtualR admins our name is actually “Simraceway” (not SimRaceWay), our company name is “Ignite Game Technologies” (not Ignite Skill Gaming) and that screenshot is nearly a year old!Further more of the 100+ cars we've released all of them can actually be acquired for no cost via credits and only a small number have very high prices (if you want to buy them rather than earn them), in fact over 40 of them are less than $1 each.

I exaggerated nothing, I've just reported what I have been told. Since several sources reported exactly the same thing I figured there was merit to it.This article is certainly not meant to gloat about the problems you are in but since this is a paid service I think members deserve to know of its problems...god forbid that somebody spends a large sum of content not knowing that the title might be shut down in a few days.Regarding the new content, I was told that will come from a back catalogue and there are no actual artists left on your team. Is this true?I'll update the article with your answer of course...
