You guys see that post over at PP forums?

Sounds like the party is over for Sim Pass users next August..

I wonder what this might mean for just "normal" PC users of the PG1 game.

Could be very not good...I hope that's not where we are heading..
The alternatives are not good and/or ancient..

Not good for the game as TM owns the rights now and I fear we might be coming to the end of the line. Very sad if true.

you guys who play with a mouse or controller may want to jump on TGC2019 while it is still on sale.

I doubt this pertains to PC/PG players. Steam would have to decide to drop the game. I find that highly unlikely.

I don't know about that - I'm pretty sure a publisher can pull a game from Steam if they want to.
It'd be really odd for a developer to be forced to keep a game on Steam and have no way to opt out totally.

Licensing of content and resources can change for a developer or title thus necessitating a pull from something like Steam, so I don't see how they could really "force you to stay on Steam" if they don't want a title out in the wild anymore.

I just checked, it is 49.99 euro. Is that really a sale price?

As said by Kimmer1947..

Mike confirmed it has no impact on PC users, it is just something impacting Sim Pass users.

Good to hear!
