What I meant by that is.. every time there's a new sim on the market,
GSB/WV emptied out some. If WSC does become what the hype says it will,
I think that GPL will be run by only those that are dedicated to GPL
type of cars and everyone else will move to WSC.
I for one absolutely love the F3 cars in GPL. Right now, because of
that, I'll say that I'll be driving GPL more then any other sim (when
WSC comes out). However, If I get just as much enjoyment out of WSC as
I have with GPL, Then GPL will start to collect dust.
When the oval converter demo came out, GSB was hopping with users. as
soon as the newness wore off, GSB went back to what it was before. Then
when Brands came out, it did the same thing. Then when the full oval
converter came out, again, GSB was hopping with users, now it's back to
where it was before. I think that if WSC (or any other sim) doesn't
meat or exceed GPL, Then GSB will do the same again.. User list will die
out, then come back to what it was when people realize that the new
sim(s) aren't what they were hoping for. But if the new sim(s) exceed
GPL, Then GSB/WV will have, at the very most, 1/2 the users it does now.
*side note* I'll keep racing in my GPL leagues as long as there are
people there to race against. I'm first in points now in two of three
trophies in one league and don't want to loose the chance of not
finishing the season out because of a new sim:)
*second note* If GSB/WV were to incorporate the new sims, The GSB/WV
will be twice as big.
just my opinions though,
Mike
