Yeah, the only thing Microsoft could do in this case is to stop using licenced vehicles and music. And I’m pretty sure we would be hearing pretty loud complaints if that happened.
This is about the best case scenario. The game is even on sale to those who almost missed out on the game.
This makes it sound like it’s going to be a horrible pc port. They game only runs at 30fps on console and it sounds like they are saying that they can’t even match that on a pc.
