So long and thanks for all the sims!

Hello simracers!
I have news.

Thank you for all the support, emotions and memories you gave me in those 20+ years of active simracing career. You've been amazing and couldn't hope for a better and more satisfying career.

As all good things, this also must come to an end and so I have decided to change my professional path and resign from my position at Kunos Simulazioni.

I won't be working on a hardcore racing simulator or direct competitor, but in case you're wondering what I'll be doing in the near future, I'll be sharing more info in my discord community which I intend keeping open and alive and continue discussing about simracing, cars, motorsport and all things car culture.

Thank you all, it's been a blast!

When I released this video yesterday I certainly couldn't imagine that I would wake up to 500+ comments full of love and affection. I read them all and I'm full of gratitude for your supports and wonderful words. I love you all, keep on driving!

Thank you for everything Aris <3 I hope we will see you in some new projects!

Aris thank you so much for everything you did for simracing community. Your work at Kunos gave us some of the best sims on the market and shaped the landscape of simracing of the last decade. I cannot express my gratitude and the pleasure it is to play and enjoy them. Wish you all the best with your next project!

Congratulations on taking the next big step in your life, Aris. I wish you all the best in the future. Thank you for all you’ve given our community over the years.

Aris, we wouldnt be here without you. Not the game, not kunos, not all the players, streamers and all others like myself. You will be dearly missed and impossible to replace.

This feels like saying farewell to your favourite teacher who is going to retirement. You taught us so much, thank you and best of luck on your new mega adventure

Enjoy life Aris, keep going! :)

Thanks for everything you’ve done for the sim racing community, Aris. It sounds like you’ve earned an amazing opportunity to continue to grow both personally and professionally. Looking forward to seeing the results of your work! ❤

There are no words which could express how grateful I am for all support on AC and ACC you provided. It will never be forgotten :)

[Yorkie]

Thanks for all the hard work, love and passion that you've poured into Kunos over the years. You've brought joy, happiness and meaning to a lot of people throughout the years with your work. Wishing you all the best with the new gig and hopefully, we'll still see you around from time to time.

Aris. If you say this first name to a simracer, they'll know who it is right away. It shows that you're a legend in this community. Thanks for everything and good luck for your future!

The man, the myth, the Legend... Thank you Aris for everything and good luck for the Future!

Thanks Aris for the time we shared together at KUNOS. I have been very lucky to share 6 wonderful years with you. We shared incredible laughs, drives, trips, beers, releases, crunch time, even some pressure. On our side, we will try to honor your immense contribution to what we are now, on your side: your colleagues will be very lucky, and I’m sure you’ll bring the project at a great standard and we’ll be proud.

See you mate, you will not escape from my beers :P

[Toolace]

Thank you for everything. Your impact on the sim racing community cannot be understated. I wish you the best in the next chapter of life and future endeavors. Take care!🙌

[unleasheddrivers]

Thank you for all your work over the years Aris, I've always enjoyed listening to how passionate you are about your work and the work of Kunos. I know you'll continue this passion into your future projects, so best luck to you and again, thank you for being a big part of Sim racing!

[pinch-of-salt]

you will forever be a legend, I love your videos as a software engineer and a simracer

[snoozieboi]

Thank you for your work and the streams, I didn't watch every one of them, but in the first 2 seconds of the video hearing your sigh I thought you were announcing aggressive cancer news.

I have over 1k hours in AC and after the love of my life (RBR RSF) it is a testament (too) that modding is what keeps a game alive. I have happily paid for DLC as it is correctly done, not artifically withheld for profits by a AAA company. Oh, and after 1k hours the cost is pennies. :D

So long and see you soon!

Thanks for your hard work and thank you for the memories
