Just look at the number of posts here relating to F1RC, RC2000 and GPL.  You
really think there's just a handful of people here playing GPL?   GPL gets
over ten times the number of posts that F1RC and RC2000 get.

There were almost 30,000 posts about RC2000 at the HG forums (until they
changed), and GPL has only about 4,000.

There are 13,000 posts for F1RC there, and it's only been out a few months.

Depends where you go. This is the GPL fan club headquarters. How many people
in this world do you really think are still playing GPL? It only sold 40,000
to begin with, and who knows how many of them were returned.

Not sure what the point is here, not really been following the thread
but not sure what the number of posts to a forum has got to do
with anything. Most RC posts in HG were problems prior to and
after the numerous patches that have been released to make this
game the mediocre product it is today. Most F1RC posts are moans
about "where is the patch" and the fact that they are all going to
have to buy F1RC2 in a few months.

The relatively few GPL posts are from guys who have finally
discovered that GPL really is the most fun you can have whilst
sitting down. Once they've proclaimed there allegiance they
are then too busy playing GPL to post to forums.

Gee, let's think about this for a minute.  It's most likely due to the
fact that these games have many more problems than GPL.  Not to hard to
figure...

There's more MIS-information here that needs to be cleared up for the sake
of the casual visitors. The other forums straighten themselves out fairly
quickly. It's a shame when casual r.a.s. visitors are MIS-led, especially by
a certain biased group of fanatics.

Sure does appear that you have a "hell" of a lot more then
"two dozen posts" in just the past 2 weeks in r.a.s.! Odd?

Ok.  So what's your story then?

Is it a gripe against GPL, something you don't like about it or find
unrealistic, or is it that you feel GPL players don't give other games a
fair chance?

Just curious...
