Yeah, not. I'm not saying is the same people pre-order the same games, but there is not THAT much new population influx.

It's a niche within a niche. Also, I remember a guy named Max had a lot to say about the current state of sim-racing.
Only because new population enters the market.
I pre-ordered a game once. F1 2010. Since then, I have *never* pre-ordered anything.
I also opted out from any game that required a rootkit to play.
LAN gameplay is still a thing in the simracing world.
Again, this only continues because of new players. Any burned player will not fall for the same trick twice.
