    I suppose ever since EA bought the exclusive rights to NASCAR last year, they didn't really have any direction left to go in.

    Here's hoping the (monumental) developer talent gets snapped up and put to good use.

    Why? They could have done lots of things with the games engine they developed. There must be more to it than that.

    Well, EA own exclusive NASCAR rights, Sony own exclusive F1 rights... the rally market is already saturated and papy's engine won't fit well into it anyway, i reckon. Anything else (except maybe touring cars) would be a fairly niche market, and it's hard to keep a development house afloat on niche markets alone :/

    Like i said, the only thing we can hope for is that the papyrus talent gets headhunted and put to good use :/

    All they have to do it make a fantasy series thats close to another one say nascar and provide all the tools for the community to mod it what ever what they want.
