  1. A turbulent time for the racing game industry

    A turbulent time for the racing game industry

    Well, it's official. After pumping up Nacon's tyres two weeks ago, then last week covering its possible financial challenges, it's gone into insolvency... Sorry folks! Here, Thomas Harrison-Lord and Tom Bunten discuss the possible fallout and why it doesn't automatically mean the end. Then there's the related Rennsport and Nacon breakup, and another split, in the form of Maverick Games and Amazon - but neither spells the end either, and they analyse the new screenshot of the latter. Tom Bunten's initial iRacing Arcade impressions are also brought to the table. For sim racing fans, there's a new iRacing season on the way, and the duo go through your latest feedback.
