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...

Trust me; people care. I would never consider buying another title that demands I'm always online for single player and the vast majority of gamers I know feel the exact same way. Did you miss the massive storm of complaints over Diablo III and Sim City?

Diablo III managed to sell very well but it had no online community to speak of after a year or so, Sim City didn't do very well at all and was hated globally for the ridiculous always online demand.

To be honest though, I wasn't very excited about this title to begin with, it has been many years since Need for Speed was fun, but this is the final nail in the coffin for me.

What kind of dumb crap!? I had no intention of playing this game with "friends", I'd like to see them try and justify why it "needs" an internet connection -_-

"The online benefits are nice"

Yes the online benefits are nice, but that is no reason the game has to be always online.

The single player components of the game do not require always online, it's lying.

EA lied through there teeth about the Sim City always online requirements and there lying now.

Fuck EA

Dont worry guys, after they see the sales flop they will patch it out despite saying it is a necessity for the game to run... oh wait that was Sim City. Well at least we all know what to do
