You may know WRC better as its former name, Dirt Rally. They announced they’ll stop working on the franchise completely.

As a casual rallying fan this really sucks. I hope this won’t be the death of licensed rally sims.

No way EA manages to kill Codemasters this quickly after acquisition, right? I know there‘s other games they‘re working on, but especially nowadays announcements like these get me worried immediately. I like their not-too-sweaty racing games and cringed hard when EA bought them.

On the one hand I don’t want devs to lose their jobs(or anyone really) but there’s a part of me that’s enjoying watching EA have to eat its hands to survive.

  I have 0 sympathy for anyone working for EA.
  
  They dug their own grave.

  They literally did this to themselves. Greed and treating your customers like literal garbage never wins
