Wow. I wonder if EA get back the WRC license or will Milestone get it? I know it is still early but wow. I guess we have to see how things play out. I do think we will see more game companies scale back on the scale of their 3A games. Gameplay and story should be the main goals not picture perfect graphics
 
I had a worring thought recently.

Maybe I am panicking a bit, but it feels like there are less and less game studios focused on racing games.

First was sony closong evolution studios amd studio liverpool

EA getting their hands on Codemasters, which endded up as F1 studio only scraping all great brands they made from rally games, grid etc

Then EA pulled the plug from Need For Speed franchise

Then Turn 10 bearly exist now with Forza Motorsport on hold

Now Nancon is also close to being shut down

Srill we don’t know how Straight 4 will recover after PmR fiasco amd Rennsport devs after their game fail

Those who remained and for now are pretty safe are Polyphony, Playground games, ivory tower, kunos, reiza, iracing team, raceroom team and milestone. That is worrying i think…
 
Nacon never did themselves any favours with their PR and attitude towards their customers that’s for sure. But we need dedicated racing game studios, or else what are we actually going to talk about on here? The weather? Hopefully they survive this.
 
We’re postponing NACON Connect.

On steam, most of the titles are 75 - 90% off, if you're looking for a time to pickup the WRC games or something, now's the time.
