I can't say for certain that The Crew wasn't financially successful, but it wasn't received well by consumers. Now that there has been a sandbox online-only racing game on the market, I'm doubtful that consumers will be open to this decision and be willing to give it a (2nd) chance.

Didn't the announcement state that this game was going to be more story focused? How do you do that with a game style like this?

You can't...
