    Why so negative? its a fun little jab at making some backstory for an otherwise non backstory game, its clear you dont have an imagination or for that matter a very imaginative one.

    I would imagine he doesn’t have a very imaginative imagination. Just imagine.

    Disagreeing with something has nothing to do with being negative, or not having an imagination. I think that's a very bad argument.

    Imagination alone is not enough to come up with a good plot, and here you can see why, even with the explanations it still makes zero sense. Like I get that it's just a "fun little thing" but it's more of a conspiracy theory than an actual backstory.
    Literally none of this makes sense. How fast was the building built that nobody noticed the process of building it and everyone only noticed it when it was already built? Why would everyone in the city care about a random company for no reason? When did they have time to transport all the cars inside? How did they get official permission to crash test them? Why were there dead bodies if people die on the other side of the teleporters, do they bring dead bodies back to the office? Why did the police not start an investigation? Why did the thieves break in if all they heard was machinery? How would they even steal any machines that are mounted on the floor? How does the machine that kill them not kill the normal workers too? How did they make these ridiculous turbochargers? How did they get the money for this and everything else? Did they have debts? How did they become the 2nd most valuable company so quickly? Did they use the money to pay the debts? Why would they need so many locations if all they do is produce weird turbochargers and crash cars? Why would Jack leak the freaking world domination plans on Reddit instead of calling the FBI? Why would the assasin worry about burying the body if they could just keep it with all the rest of dead bodies? And then it's all so much nonsense I'm gonna stop asking these questions. You know, imagination is cool, but to make a good story you need to make it seem believable which this isn't.

    IMO, a softbody physics game doesn’t need a storyline. Nor does it need pointless fan fiction

    I disagree. Some people really want career mode which probably has a storyline in it. And fan fictions might not be needed but still they are good to have IF WRITTEN WELL.

    Well yes, career mode needs a storyline, but this is just way too, how do I put this, Movie-Like. The fan fictions aren’t needed, but some people like writing them so I won’t complain too much. Other than that, the regular sandbox mode we love today should remain untouched, and the devs should put the storyline in career mode.

    I agree. It's just a story and people go like "Uh career mode" and "Ah soft body physics"...
    Yes hard simulation is most important to me too but 'off topic' is just a part of the forums and an additional game experience.
    For instance "BeamNG Inaugural Cinematic Clip Contest" was an official BeamNG event. And
    Videos, Screenshots and other Artwork teem with fictional and off topic stuff. Maybe you should tell a story about a society that's 'programmed to disapprove'. :p

    Not all backstories are crazy, and I don’t think Tdev has plans to try and take over the world with his game.

    Honestly, if you change some of the words, you have a spy script on your hands, seems like something you’d see in a Jame Bond Movie, or worse, a Fast And Furious Movie

    I give up, people are actually overanalysing a bit of a fun backstory that he probably made in a creative spur moment. I don't get why people are so serious? A backstory don't have to be perfectly aligned with reality and yet here we have people writing nearly as much as OP just to criticise it.

    His choice words seem very negative mate that's all.

    Look how much you wrote mate. Why so many questions?
