I can't help but agree, Especially as LOTS of people have actually already paid for that game to be developed and released. Inc. me.
Now they release a free to play game, and not only that it's a racing game too.

The crowd is 3D, also like Korndog said watch Forza 5 a flagship game for a NEXT gen console, this is a f2p racer.

This is not a competion to pcars, they are just using some of the same assets and making an arcade game for those who prefer that.

This game has cost them almost nothing to make, it's obvious they are using pretty much all assets from an unfinished game to release a free game that will probably get them some cash.

It's also obvious this game is not going to be anything special.

Well it looks better than the F2P NFS MMORPG I guess. How mature is Project Cars anyway?

On the money! That was my initial thought too, especially seeing Big Ben in the background. I'm going to play that this evening now :D

Your right it has cost them nothing, It's cost me and thousands like me who have paid towards the development of Project CARS.

I agree with this. It seems they taking the funding from one project( by the community who've been waiting for years for a finished project), then releasing a "free" game before it likely using assets payed for by the PCars "investors". Yikes. I'd be pissed if I had been a PCars funder... I guess we know why PCars has been an "alpha" for so long...
