This interview with RSC, published in 2021, details his early life and career, through both his own company, Papyrus, Electronic Arts, to his time at iRacing.
Turtle Beach announced a Direct Drive wheel and pedal set for PC, XBox X|S and XBox One a couple of weeks ago that releases a month from today. It seems over-priced to me, for what it is and how ‘gamey’ it looks, but it’s always nice to see another brand entering the market. Check out the images and video below.
