Money that’s why. Shareholders got $1.2 Billion

Did something happen in the business world? If yes, it happened because of money. If no, it didn’t happen because if money.

Honestly they should have never been yearly releases. Of course everyone is burnt out on them, and nothing innovate has happened in the rally codemaster games in years. I’m sad this is happening but it’s definitely mismanagement.

Yep, they should have just put the yearly changes on something like a season pass and timed the major release with the regulation changes to match the simulation engine development.

Management did exactly what they wanted to do. They released a product with no regard to anything except short term profits. What happens in a year is future thems problem.

Never give EA money - they’ll just use it to destroy yet another cherished dev or franchise.

Can EA stop making F1 games and let another studio do it now please?

We said that with C&C but instead of stopping letting someone else take it on, EA just stopped 😕

I wish somebody would do a postmortem on the shitshow that is EA WRC, despite having the most beloved rally game dev team and the biggest license in rallying.

Dirt 3 will always have a place in my heart.
