What a disaster. Much as I love the 917/30, it’s been a mess since the get-go where it wasn’t classified properly, and now this. It had one of the most legendary liveries ever. And now it’s gone because of the godforsaken lawyers. Who are probably also to blame for the lack of a 917K or LH, and who are probably also to blame for the lack of Toyota.
In fact, they’re probably also to blame for why the game won’t even let you paint the /30 properly, because even if the game allows players to paint the livery themselves, it’s still a violation of the agreement.
But then, some of the blame must be laid at the feet of MS and T10, because by my reckoning, they were gaming the system before and perhaps not going to the lengths required for the right to properly replicate the livery. This kind of stuff has been going on for years; i’ve talked to race drivers many times, and often times, historically, they’ve seen their cars replicated — in diecasts, in games, even in real life — without any royalties being paid. I suspect a similar thing has happened here.
If that’s the case, then shame on T10 because even after all this patching, all these updates, some may say the game looks even more unfinished than before. That’s a gong show and they had better sort all this stuff out next time ‘round. They’ve got more time than that have in a long time to do it, so DO IT.
