In my adolescence, few games were the ones I really liked and kept me in a row (I do not know if you remember, but during the internet coffee there were so-called “long nights”, that is 5 hours and stayed 7 hours, until morning).
As I didn’t have a computer at home, I was raising money on the weekend or on vacations I was breaking the “long nights” with the boys on the street.
One of the games of the period at that time was not only and maybe for special: Porsche Unleashed. Hundreds of hours I lost with “NFS Porsche“, and a little later with NFS Hot Pursuit and NFS underground. The last one I remember is NFS Most Wanted, but here I was already playing at home, on my computer (he didn’t even have the same charm).
Coming back, it seems that NFS is no longer caught at gamers, no longer generates money for Electronic Arts.
Considering that the American game giant is going through a difficult time (restructuring, financial losses, etc.), it is clear to change strategy and to give up those games with weak sales. Matthew Everingham, known in the world of car enthusiasts, recently announced that Electronic Arts will give up the Need For Speed franchise, which is eliminated from the future investment list.
We do not know if the decision is definitive or only for the moment, it is certain that Electronic Arts is looking to invest “with head”, only in those titles successfully at gamers (such an example is the series of first-person shooter battlefield games).
