Patreon Show August 2023 - Farming Simulator meets ESPORTS
🕑 Added 2023-08-31 10:31:56 +0000 UTCHey patrons!
I had an unusual Gamescom this year, having popped over for just the last couple of days of the show. In fact, by the time I arrived, almost everybody from the games media had already gone home it seemed.
So why was I there so late? What convinced me to ride something like ten hours worth of trains over the course of just three days?
I've got three words for you: Farming Simulator League.

I invited some very eager friends to a multiplayer session of Farming Simulator once and they've never let me suggest a game to play with them since then. :(

People always look at me strangely when I tell them about many types of farming-related races and events, as I grew up around diesel-heads of that variety. So I'm glad to see the Farming Simulator community is no different 🙂 There are pretty large followings for Grassmen on YouTube or BBC Three's "The Fast and the Farmer-ish" (😬) inspired by the same kind of thing. Weirdly also both from Northern Ireland.

Yeah, I think this one has a lot of promise! I had no idea about the Excel e-sports league... and that was fun to learn about 😁

I personally bounced off Farming Simulator when I tried it but it's great that there is an esport for it. Can't wait to find out more about these folks!
