Project Cars 3 will be removed august 24

then next time don't comment then, its a free forum after all :)

Just yelling at the clouds then, huh?

We didnt ask for you to be salty for something that has actual legit legal reason either. Wierd to snap at something like that.

But yeah, it sucks that car games have to go through all the trouble with licensing and whatnot... One would think car makers would love the free marketing games give. As a car enthusiast I love driving around in some vehicle I havent even seen.

Sir, I would like to inform that the original Test Drive Unlimited was never on Steam. "Only one scenario in the end how to play it" - not the case with TDU, you can still play it today the same way you played it in 2007 - from a disc copy on your Xbox 360/Windows/PS2/PSP. Only the online aspect is gone, but understandably so.

Test Drive Unlimited 2, however, falls into the 'modern' delisting pit - it used to be available on Steam but hasn't been for years now. It's still playable just like the original - from a disc copy, albeit cannot be purchased in digital storefronts anymore. Multiplayer doesn't work either, we have to rely on third party software (like Project Paradise - I highly recommend this one) to go online. Certain achievements aren't obtainable anymore - also a modern issue.

"you still have Dirt series, (...) Need For Speed" - Dirt series is notable for being one of the regularly delisted, only the latest two entries now remain purchasable in digital storefronts. NFS - the situation is much better, but some have been delisted, like Shift or Undercover and some more are due to be delisted, like Rivals.

Dirt, WRC, and NFS are published by EA, and that means that they're in the list for eventual delisting. Last I heard there were no plans for a new WRC, and Codemasters and Criterion (the two big racing studios still remaining under EA) have been crippled by firings and tossed into the role of support teams. So we should probably be getting a new NFS at some point but other than that any racing franchise by EA might as well be considered dead for the next few years with the old entries slowly being delisted as licensing expires. On the bright side I'm sure someone else will pick up the WRC license now and use it.

Reminds me of how at one point Sega just gave up on racing games and other that Sonic being spared every other series got dropped never to be seen again, and that's how if you want to play Outrun 2 (one of the coolest arcade racing games in my opinion) today there's basically no option other than hunting down and old copy or piracy.

Like, remember Ridge Racer? The other day I heard that apparently RR8 got cancelled not once but twice and that info just leaked out recently because someone found a prototype.
