The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players say iRacing offers the best online racing experience, but the cost is a constant complaint: a subscription plus paying for each car and track. The penalty system frustrates many, punishing drivers even when they are not at fault. Rookie races are chaotic, though higher license classes improve. Performance issues like crashes and dated graphics are also common complaints.
