Honestly the map is very mid, but its definitely not bad enough for the amount of hate. The main think spoken about it is the advertisements, which I think is unjustified. It may be that I am very used to capitalism, due to how bad capitalism in Canada is (Three companies own all the grocery stores, meaning it costs waaay to much to eat. And most houses are owned by corporations, blah blah blah I will never have a chance to buy) But the ads on the map are still not that bad.
Yeah, imo the map is very much mid, and yes the advertisements in the map aren't THAT bad. But I personally don't think companies should use the BeamNG forums / mod repository for advertising at all. Like yes, no-one's forced to download it, but the fact that a company (and a very large one at that) is doing this at all is kinda what irks me personally.
It was bound to happen eventually. think of it this way, if a large company is advertising here it means BeamNG is really growing.
True! It's great to see BeamNG grow so much, especially as a long time player. However I do hope that this won't become a thing that'll be normalized, I liked not seeing ads : p
