Be thankful HotShoe, kid was removed from here by his own doing a long time ago (pretty evident in his article because his claims are based on people that no longer frequent this site). Even after being removed he has made several random accounts to make one post topics in brilliant attempts to belittle people on here for being more then average monster truck fans (you should probably see the irony here after reading his "article") with verbal garbage spewing laced with claims of everyone having autism or aspergers.
The amusing part of that whole deal, and a quick lesson on aspergers (or similar types of autism in that spectrum) "Aspergers is generally characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests"
I am not going to claim to know the kid, infact I hope I never get to, I remember getting linked to a Iracing profile write up that had him listed with something stupid like 600+ oval race starts (or maybe it was total racing starts I dont remember), now call me daft but 600+ racing starts (and I am aware that does not mean he finished or even got past the first lap) driving around a circular track, for however many laps. Now this article he has written, about a community he despises, kind of sounds like "restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests" dont it?
As for activision coming out with something to rival it, all I ask is show me the proof, because talking out of your ass this outlandishly should make a man a walking, talking, sphincter.
Even if they did come out with the god of all MT games, he honestly thinks that would change the community? Monster Jam is marketed for younger kids or did he miss that memo?
BeamNG is going to be the next logical step for whoever is still around and making Monster Truck related content.
