Back then you could buy your own first car by just working a lot as a teenager, nowadays I think it's quite impossible to simply be into cars when you can't even own the real thing as an adult.

They probably dislike GT specifically because the franchise went to shit during the PS3 era and never recovered.

Its popularity was astroturfed in the 2000s by American media and facilitated by an abundance of cheap, easily modified imports. The economy sucks now so young men can't afford it anymore and politicians tried to make themselves look like tough guys by making examples of drivers of modified cars even if they weren't driving recklessly.

I'm flabbergasted this game is gassed up to be a great game but it is such dog shit compared to MC2 and MC3R. The handling is the worst it has ever been, so is the camera, so is the frame rate, and the car list, and the cities, and the music, and the list of customization parts. WHO the fuck thought this was a good game?

Zoomers are a completly cuckold Ed generation that can't fathom actually having enjoyment. Unlike millenials that chase enjoyment by any means, or Gen X that just fall into nihilism, zoomers are a completly compliant race. The silent generation 2.0, but without the war needed to get them honor

Cars are dead in 2025, cool cars will be an ancient relic in our lifetime. It's crossover hell from here until we die.
Dodge doesn't even make the Challenger anymore(EV fag shit doesn't count), Chevy doesn't make the Camaro anymore, and Toyota hasn't out anything cool besides the new Supra thats half German.
It's over. Gen alpha will have self driving cuckpods, and nobody will be allowed to actually drive anymore eventually.

I can literally just buy a car and drive it. Same with sportsball simulators, I can't understand why so many people need them when you can just go outside and play sportsball.
Video games should be simulations of something that can't be just acquired like that IRL (like for example FPS that doesn't end when you die), because otherwise what's the point?

Because internet glaze too much on nerds youtubers and streamers, and zoomers spend tons of time online and dont touch enough grass.
Being cool is about banging bitches and driving fast cars, not owning a collection of pokemon cards. A child's dream should be becoming a football player or an astronaut, not a fucking youtuber who plays videogames for a living.
Besides this, considering the surge in driving simulators and car games in the last years, i think more and more people are getting into it. Bonus points since the game rotates about driving and it's not an RPG with story and characters, no reason to worry about DEI stuff + very few women get involved.

kids aren't paying for those games. They're likely playing some clone of gta or some janky drifting sim on roblox of the ones who like car games.
Them being priced out of enthusiasts cars irl might contribute to it as well

Most of them don't even have a license, anon. Did you ever wonder why there's this huge trend of people taking their little Tiktok videos orwhatever in their cars? Because it's a status symbol now. Because none of these people have fucking cars and licenses. They think they're unique, rich snowflakes for having an '88 Honda Civic Hatchback and a license. Because, comparatively, in current year, they are.So of course, they don't get into car games since it's foreign territory to them.
