I guess my question was more directed towards simulation like games rather than Burnout style or fun racers. Crazy racing games will always have a place.

I just think it's a fun thought of how the future will change the mainstream's perception of cars in general. Because right now I feel that cars have a very high standing in mainstream perception and part of it is that people actually drive them and not everyone can and there is a skill element. Once everyone can operate a car without any skill barrier they will lose appreciation and be degradated like any other household appliance.

It's possible the really hardcore racing simulators that mainly use street cars will be much less popular. Games based on motorsports (Formula One, Nascar) will still be around as long as their respective sports are. But yeah you might be right, the games that market themselves to the real hardcore car fans and as simulations like Project Cars or maybe even Gran Turismo/Forza may be in trouble.

Racing Sims that aren't based on a motorsport might suffer.
