Was it going to be always online, free to play, sim, etc? They didn't know what they were going for the whole time and it shows in how the game feels and plays, I owned it.
If you just want to race without all the online BS, it's a pain in the ass to do anything.
I was responding to someone criticizing the game developer for what looks like an administrative snafu with the store listing. That's totally separate from any quality problems with the game itself.
