EA SPORTS™ WRC - Development Update: We are pausing development plans on future rally titles.

EA SPORTS™ WRC - Development Update

You may know WRC better as its former name, Dirt Rally. They announced they'll stop working on the franchise completely.

On the one hand I don't want devs to lose their jobs(or anyone really) but there's a part of me that's enjoying watching EA have to eat its hands to survive.
- They literally did this to themselves. Greed and treating your customers like literal garbage never wins
- I have 0 sympathy for anyone working for EA.
  They dug their own grave.
No way EA manages to kill Codemasters this quickly after acquisition, right? I know there‘s other games they‘re working on, but especially nowadays announcements like these get me worried immediately. I like their not-too-sweaty racing games and cringed hard when EA bought them, please don‘t run them into the ground, EA.
- It's EA, this is what they do
As a casual rallying fan this really sucks. I hope this won't be the death of licensed rally sims.
EA is on a killing spree lately
I will miss you Dirt....
