They should have done what everyone else did and never announced a WiiU version to begin with. Yikes, what a waste to think they'd go this far then get blasted for telling the truth. Ridiculous.

What is ridiculous is the amount of money he got to actually kick off the project from the hands of WiiU owners.

Where does this misconception keep coming from? Ian Bell stated that 95% of the funding was raised before any console versions were annouced.

Direct quote from Ian Bell (SMS's CEO):
"We started the project as a Free to Play PC racing game. That's where more than 95% of the funding was raised. It later (by the choice of the backers) changed to a standard console release on last gen. This then changed (by decision of the backers) to a standard console release on next gen systems."
