Why I have to make a minimum donation? and why a donation?

EKSIMRacing since 2007 works as a foundation (non profit organization) to promote the sim-racing around the world and invites their members to take part to the project by making contribution. EKSIMRacing invites you to make a minimum donation ($5 per device/EMU) to get your license for using the software because building a professional-grade software takes a lot of time and money (software development started in 2008), Maintaining the website, software support, domain name and hosting cost money, also, game gear such steering wheels, pedals sets, buttons-boxes and hardware parts for testing the hardware with the manager cost money (fortunately we have some great partnerships which reduces the bill) and obviously, buying/updating games/simulations licenses cost money as well.

Thank you all for your continuous support since 2009.
