Yet, fortnite is 100% free to play, the only things you can buy are purely cosmetic (vinyls) and that game makes way way way more money than RR. You are comparing apples and dolphins (can't remember where I saw that comparison but I lol'd) but fine. Fortnite iss 100% free to play? Ok, but iRacing is 100% pay to play (there's even monthly membership just to be able to play and access your cars) and beside 18 basic cars you have to buy (usually around $10) each car you want, then each track you want and so on. And guess what? It's booming and it's by far the best racing sim out there with one of the best communities, by far. And there's also this: Porsche and iRacing Partner on $100,000 eSports World Championship. It's also full of real-world professional race drivers, including those from the F1 (Max Verstappen, Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso etc.). Why? Pretty much this:

This is a sports car racing game, and the sports car racing demographic is older affluent males. It's an expensive sport. Many of the "pros" are really just wealthy guys with a serious hobby. This game is targeting deep pockets. Most other games are not. 👆👆

Btw, Microsoft's Solitaire was also 100% free to play. Now it has ads (I mean, you can block them, but it won't block the fact that there are ads - in Solitaire).

You can't really compare RR3 to other games because there's none of its competition. There was GT Racing 2 and it was excellent but it's completely dead pretty much because of RR3. So there's no competition left (and no, Hill Climb Racing or so is deffo not a rival, eh) in this mobile world. That said, I play both (RR3 and iRacing) and I enjoy both. Can I compare them? Nope.
