    First and foremost it’s bold to put this out before Drag x Drive releases which is just weird enough to become its own thing.

    That’s cute.

      Look man, as someone who thought Switch 2 mouse controls were a gimmick and has sunk 17 hours into Civ VII, I don’t feel confident enough to tell all these people that they are wrong. If I had been in college and was told people could get scholarships for NASCAR Soccer I would have laughed in your face. Being that cocky is asking to be wrong

        I’m not a betting man, but if I were, I would put good money on this being closer to Excite Truck in the public consciousness a few years from now rather than one of the most successful games of all time. So no, it’s not bold to think that Drag X Drive isn’t going to supplant Rocket League.

          It doesn’t help that Nintendo seems to actively hinder competitive play in their games. It’s not starting from a winning position, but I wouldn’t count it out entirely.
