With that Final Countdown screenshot, tdev has himself played into the hype. He never does that unless there is something to be hyped about, he is always the voice of reason. If the update were not today, he would have put a stop to the spam with facts rather than making it worse - he has done that before, in fact.
I don’t know how the update ended up coming out (possibly) today… I was expecting a release next week instead. No complaints here.
I might be fired because I'm refreshing this page every minute on my phone while at work, but at least Ill have more time for BeamNG.
