Fine, it won’t accelerate in the turn, you’re still set higher coming out of it. Now you accelerate in the straight instead of the corner. There’s no case in which that’s a good or desirable outcome, and it can be easily mitigated by not having these controls so easy to accidentally press.
I think it has real staying power, if they can make the rest of the game as content rich as the first dozen or so hours. It’s only a flash in the pan because there’s not more fuel. As is the case for a lot of early access.
