I don't care where they got the code or if it somehow cost them $20 to make and they're getting rich off me, it's by far the best available and potentially worth the price. And if GT5 cost ONE BILLION DOLLARS to make, well hey, I'm not saying I wouldn't enjoy playing it, and it'll be "good", but not as good IMHO as iRacing for serious simulation and racing large fields.
