“We can’t compare every racing game to Forza and Gran Turismo,” says Screamer developer

Conversely, player numbers reported by SteamDB suggest that Screamer was overlooked by the wider racing game community despite its reception, with a modest all-time player count of 724 on Steam.

However, Cardini feels that a racing game’s success shouldn’t be harshly judged by its player numbers.

“You have your unique titles like the Gran Turismos or the Forzas, which draw in millions of players.

But we can’t compare every racing game to Forza and Gran Turismo.

We don’t want to deliver a game that relies on other mechanics to bring you back in.”
