It's weird how racing games don't seem to be anywhere near as popular as they used to be. But that's not the only genre.

I don't think Codemasters had much of a choice really.

Better than Take Two at least. Hopefully EA doesn't turn the excellent F1 games into microtransaction pits like madden and fifa, but I'm not holding my breath.

Yup. When EA counter-offered, I honestly thought "good". I'm not crazy about EA, but Take Two would have handled the company so much worse.

I don't get this. Take two has Rockstar which has midnight club which is the most underrated racing series to date imo. I would've loved to see it revived.
