    I think that Beamng should partner with Rockstar Games to add online play as Rockstar games created GTA V and is much more resource intensive than Beamng.drive, and still has online play so partnering with rockstar games could maybe make online play possible. If this is not possible we could also team up with the BeamMP devs which created an online mod for Beamng.Drive so teaming up with them could add official online multiplayer.
    I also think we should add Radio that can play Audio files.

    BeamNG and Rockstar partnership? sounds like a recipe for disaster.

    GTA is not more resource intensive than beamng at all...

    we could still partner with the BeamMP devs and add radio which already exists as a mod but make it official beamng content

    The devs have said that they are not and will not work on multiplayer, especially for the time being. The game would need to be much better optimized than it currently is, as I believe the current process is that the game will generally assign one vehicle to a single CPU core, only sharing cores when you exceed the available number of cores (This is likely a crude explanation while the full explanation goes way more in depth. This is just what I've noticed while playing and seen around the forums). While a radio is possible, that's why we have mods and the repository, so that people can create what they feel is missing from the base game.

    Edit: Clarified part of the CPU resources explaination

    This is completely wrong, GTA 5 is not only much simpler than BeamNG, but also insanely well optimized, it probably uses like a hundred times less resources

    reasoned thought and logic is something I rarely encounter here...
