    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.

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

  “But I want…” NO!
  “But Star Wa…” NO!
  “But Ma…” NO!

  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.

  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.
