How FS has revolutionised how farmers buy tractors

Post by StoneTheCrows »

Interesting article about how FS is now impacting the real world. The link is to the Guardian UK website.

https://amp.theguardian.com/games/2023/ ... on-to-xbox

Giants say interest from equipment manufacturers is now a sufficient revenue stream to fund game development.

Includes a quote from Valtra saying product placement on FS is part of their advertising strategy.

Giants add that it's the gamers who are most important.

I wondered, when John Deere joined the the game, which way the money flowed. In that particular case, as it was a few years ago, I am still guessing.

Maybe FS should charge the manufacturers, rather than paying a licensing fee. Uh…I don’t suppose that will work, huh?

I dont know that it has ever been confirmed if Giants has to pay for licensing or not. Its only been stated that they must obtain licensing

Ok. I missed it. I did read, but didn’t see the appropriate paragraph. I do not understand why people can’t just suggest someone might have made an error. I was more interested in the subject and was pleased to see the FS influence. I don’t really care which way the money flows. I’m happy there are people in the world who don’t make errors.
