Giants is taking a huge chance with this strategy that one of the other farm sims won't step up to the plate and release something that will take their business. Not blaming modders for this but it does make me wonder why. What will these add to game play that modders can't add? Why is FS19 so far behind on mods than FS17 was at the same time of the release cycle? Where are the good maps that are unique to FS19 and not ports from FS17? Someone asked for the best UK maps on FS19 and all I could think of were the ones ported from FS17. Will they fix this? What exactly does everybody think they are going to fix on FS19 by not releasing an FS21? Will they fix this? The store interface sucks too. Why? Because of some very simple interface issues that made it overly difficult to manage modest herd sizes. They moved the animal screen to the Seasons menu. They will wait and hope that the modders do it for them. However, I do not trust Giants to "fix" anything. I really like this game and am even afraid to look at how many hours I have spent on it. So perhaps this news will mean people will be willing to invest in Sraw Harvest. Straw Harvest still isn't out yet and I know it wasn't exactly a roaring success last time, but I think it did add an extra dimension to the game. FS19 looks good on my 1060 3GB, but I think it's working hard with setting on high, a more demand graphics engine would surely mean 1080 being the minimum? GTX 1080s may be old hat now, but still not everyone can afford even one of these cards. A complete graphics engine re-design could make it more difficult for those with older machines to play the game. Graphically I think the game still looks good and is still playable on older cards. Sure new crops would be great and I think the vanilla maps leave a lot to be desired, but as soon Oakfield Farm and Warwell Manor came out I never looked back. John Deere and Claas are two huge additions which people have been calling for, for a long time and now we have them both. I think it would be difficult to completely change the game graphically and mechanically to justify a new game right now.
