This seriously makes my blood boil.
First, there isn't a whole heck of a lot of people that play this game. So, PGR should be using minimal resources to run their server. WHY SHUT IT DOWN?
Second, WHY can you give us some notice?
Third, this really is a breach of contract issue and it begs for a class action lawsuit, which I'd gladly join.
Whlie this game has been out 4 years or so, it's not like it's been out 30 years. It's still reasonable to expect that the game can be played without limitations. What about the unsuspecting person who buys this game new at Gamestop and pops in it only to find out they've been CHEATED?
SHAME ON YOU PGR!
SHAME ON XBOX for allowing it!
