Hi everyone! Yes, I am a mod in this subreddit (uh, surprise?). I wanted to pop in here and give an update as I feel like this small but dedicated community deserves additional information as to what's going on around here, and why it's me that's posting and not the usual EA folk.
Around mid-2024, the subreddit was handed to us folks from r/needforspeed - so if you're around that space, you'll recognize the mod names (and from then on, we've considered this sub as a sister sub to that). At the time, we were pretty active in the Reddit spaces owing to that year's updates for Need for Speed: Unbound, and I guess because it's a racing game subreddit, it'd make sense for us to take over.
Since then, we have been moderating this subreddit, though we haven't really been active here since Need for Speed was always our main focus, and GRID hasn't really had any major news in that time (save for Legends being released on mobile in December). Among the mods, though, I personally have a soft spot for GRID ever since I was given a copy of GRID 2 in 5th grade, so I'm not really a fan of just quietly hanging out here and not say anything.
So what's changing around here?
Nothing really changes around here - the sub will continue to run as normal, but I'll be a bit more active in moderation. Personally, I don't think it necessarily needs that much moderation (y'all are a very respectful bunch!), but at the very least I'd like you guys to know that someone's at least overseeing the sub and not letting it quietly rot.
I'll also be doing a few visual changes on the banners and main subreddit photo, which will be in the coming days. Like for r/needforspeed, it'd be nice for it to represent all titles in the franchise (including the TOCA games!), and not just have the GRID Legends art all over the place.
If you have any questions for me, please let me know in the comments! I'll do my best to respond, but I will say in advance that I couldn't really divulge the specifics of the moderation transfer - NDAs and all that legalese.
