PSA: Don't Sleep on Casual Titles While Introducing Others to the Hobby
My son is now 9 about to be 10 and I have always wanted to share the hobby with him and his little sister - had them sit in my lap for iRacing runs up Mt. Washington, put him in the trophy trucks around Crandon and other "fun" for me tracks... but now in hind-sight it was still all too Simulation for them to have fun and I never realized it.
For some reason Forza Horizon 6's release peaked my interest just because my son LOVES Japanese culture, and so I put him in the sim, ALL assists, NO shifting, just pure pedals and wheel feel - and BY GEORGE - he's now caught the bug. Doesn't want to stop playing for the last 5 days!
I should have known a more casual path to the hobby (similar to my own path!) would have done the trick and I thought I was providing that, but I really just wasn't.
Here's your reminder to dial it: all. the. way. back. to ground zero when intro'ing your friends and family who just aren't as into it all as we are!
