Starting with games like Rad Racer and RC Pro Am on the NES, I must have put 10s of thousands of hours into hundreds of different racing games over the years. But try to talk to anyone about it, and it’s all gatekeeping all the time.
“Your favorite is too arcade-y for a real fan, noob.” “You turn on anti-lock braking? You aren’t sophisticated enough to join my clan, peasant.” Shit like that. I’m sure lots of other genres have similar fuckwads that think they are the gods of the gaming world.
