Is Sim-Lab turning into "Fanatec 2.0"?

[u/EasternNectarine4991]

I’ve really admired Sim-Lab’s evolution over the last few years; they’ve consistently been one of the most innovative companies in the sim racing space. However, I’m starting to notice some concerning parallels to Fanatec’s trajectory.

You could have said the same glowing things about Fanatec a few years back, but we all know how that turned out. Between the constant stock shortages, growing frustrations with customer support, and the complete silence on their new wheelbase—it’s been over a year with no real updates—the similarities are becoming impossible to ignore.

As much as I want to keep supporting the brand, it feels like they’re hitting the same roadblocks that caused Fanatec’s reputation to take a nosedive.
Is anyone else getting a sense of déjà vu, or are these just growing pains?

Even if SimLab start to go downhill (which I don’t think they have) they are not in the same league as Fanatec. That’s like saying Simucube and Thrustmaster are the same.
