They promised things they can't deliver.




Now the internet will devour them.

Looks like reality just sank in.

Except it's not Kickstarter. They invited people to "invest" in their vision in return for financial returns on their investment, not a specific platform release of a game.

The "kickstaring" was a financial investment with a promise of financial returns if the project ws successful. The project has been released, it's doing very well at the moment. Investors will likely see a profitable return on thier initial outlay.

This forum has really got the wrong end of the stick of what has happened here.

The only people being burned, are the ones who refuse to game on anything other than a Nintendo console but really really want a racing sim.

I wonder if the game didn't sell as anticipated on the other platforms and they don't feel like they can make any sort of profit on Wii U either so they're just giving up.

Or they just don't give a shit either way. Whichever one.

I'm pissed because I was actually looking forward to this.

Sad to hear, but I'll be sticking with Mario Kart if I want to play racing games

I´m on the forum where the head of the team is talking, and he said that the game is"already profitable", also he said VGChartz is a joke where people just take the data out of their asses, that with better words, but I guess that is another story.

So are Wii U owners gonna get a refund considering they funded the game for PS4/XB1 lol

It was not a Kickastarter but another way of crowfunding, there is no way to know how much of those people were wiiu owners, but the fact is Nintendo fans were the comunity that support them the most, tired with PC. And on its web they had a chartz showing the ratio of interest in every console, and WiiU has been the first all the time. So it has to be tons of WiiU owners that funded the project along with other (mostly PC), and now they have nothing :D

nope, because companies aren't that cool/respectful/whatever, sucks but those people got screwed over

"...WiiU isn't your only platform then you wouldn't be buying it for that console anyway."

actually I have a PS4 but I've been waiting for Project Cars on Wii U, not PS4

though I admit I'm probably an extreme minority, I was still looking forward to the Wii U version from the start, and with this, it's just one piece of bad news after another. It should have just released with no problems, no drama, but instead people get this crap. It's a reaaaalll bummer, I hate when companies make promises and talk up a big game but don't follow through with them. It's your choice on what platforms you release it on, but do things better from the start and/or figure a way to right things if some catastrophe happened and you absolutely can't keep your promises or whatever. It's a really simple concept IMO *shrug*
