@oc_racing: Bad News for Assetto Corsa Evo 💀 The sim racing community is raising alarms over Kunos decision not to provide a standalone dedicated server for Assetto Corsa EVO. Multiplayer will instead be limited to free public servers or private servers rented exclusively through SimGrid, priced at about €1 per driver slot per month. Players argue this move undermines the open ecosystem that allowed Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione to flourish, where countless community-run servers offered leagues, custom rules, mods, and experiments that shaped the games’ culture. Under the current model, many groups host 20–40 driver servers for as little as €10–20 a month using AWS or other providers, often shutting them down when not in use to save money. In contrast, SimGrid’s pricing could push those same servers closer to €40 with less flexibility. Community members fear this will discourage grassroots league racing, reduce server variety, and funnel activity into a controlled, paywalled environment. The shift is seen as a move toward a more sterile, corporate model, threatening the creativity and unpredictability that set Assetto apart from competitors like iRacing. #acevo #simracing
