First guess, is these are the states where their employees currently live, so arrangements have already been made.

So, to be fair, the devs are almost never in control of that sort of thing.

I’m sorry you’ll have to explain why it would singlehandedly revive the game.

I take it you missed the whole profiting off the pandemic by selling bad masks thing?

Not everyone pays attention to the goings on of the world and we each have limited bandwidth to care about things that don’t affect us.

Tell me, where’s the ‘endurance’ in a one-hour race?

Do tell? You have a definition that all motorsport governing bodies strictly adhere to while categorizing races under their purview?

I mean it is...
