It was required since beginning lol
How you launch a broke product that could be easy tested in a QA environment or even a closed Alpha/Beta.
Create a team for that after the issue happened is shameful... every network software development needs to contemplate massive users testes even if you use programs that generates artificial user requests (there is a lot in the market).
What bother me even more is that DriveClub was not a isolated case last year and it wasn't the worst too... that is why I don't like the shape the developers are today in the gaming industry... they thing they can fix via patch everything and release a alpha product due tiny schedules or money resourses.
