You are joking?
The only officially licensed game on the market...why would they drop that?

I'm hoping we don't see any loot boxes and microtransactions now that Take-Two has taken over.*

I think he meant turning the game into trash. Hopefully Dirt and F1 don't turn into crap games. Take two bought The Golf Club series and did not do much with that game.

Reasonable minds obviously can differ, but I enjoyed what they did with PGA Tour. It got me much more interested in golf and I have really liked playing it. I am an "above-casual" racer (I own wheels for PS and Xbox and own more racing games than other genres, but I honestly am not anywhere near very good.) I really liked the strides w/F1 2020 and hope TT doesn't interfere. TT does have a history--and pretty much a stated business plan--to gouge folks via microtransactions, and that is a big, big concern. And I may be the only one, but this makes me even more curious about the prospects for Project Cars 4, now that SMS is in the Codies stable. I have been holding out hope that SMS/Codies would admit the travesty (IMHO) of PC3 and recommit to improving and innovating the foundation that was being laid in PC2. I loved so much about that game, and I can't get over the disappointment of what they did to it.

Well now it looks like EA has joined in the bidding.

I'd rather Take Two buy them than EA.

Damn, I liked the F1 series, always felt good to have a subgenre where the EA cancer hadn't spread yet. RIP
