Here are some of my thoughts on Dmi games, and the upcoming Nascar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGWypLJZVY0

It's good to know that SOMETHING is in the works. Unfortunately it will be quite a while before we ever get to see it, and that's if it isn't DELAYED, which is rare in today's day and age. The article also mentions that DMI has purchased many of Eutechnyx's crap, so hopefully DMI isn't just a continuation of ETX garbage. On the bright side, in spite of ETX's substandard work, I always felt like Ed Martin had little to do with ETX's releases. He was responsible for the Thunder series at EA which were the best Nascar games ever released. He is president of DMI, and I hope that means he is DIRECTLY involved with the development and overall final product. I don't know WHAT to think at this time since nobody really knows what DMI really is. Is it a completely new game developer? Or is it simply an offshoot of ETX, which it may be since DMI president Ed Martin was also the head of marketing at ETX. I don't know how I feel about this, but at least there is a Nascar title in the works.

Eutechnyx has officially shut down their forum. It's only surprising that they waited THIS long, except that they were still hoping to sell their DLC garbage. Sales have probably frozen to a halt, and now we can only wait.

I understand the part about name calling, but how does calling ETX garbage constitute name calling? ETX is NOT a forum member, and it's ridiculous to give someone an infraction for calling a developer garbage. Redwingsrule is a douchebag. Now THAT'S an infraction, but not HERE!

Here is just another lame reaction by a moderator at the ETX You have received an infraction at NASCAR The Game Forums: Dear 73duster, You have received an infraction at NASCAR The Game Forums. Reason: Inappropriate Behaviour ------- Hi, We understand that stating your frustrations is something that is going to happen due to the NASCAR 14 situation, however there is a time where the constant reminders and additional name calling is out of hand. Rude and abusive comments towards any entity really do not belong on the forum. Thanks. I'm in no way disagreeing or agreeing with any of your posts. Just enforcing the rules. ------- This infraction is worth 1 point(s) and may result in restricted access until it expires. Serious infractions will never expire. Original Post: http://forums.nascarthegame.com/showthread.php?p=495706 I can't believe there are people who STILL think ETX is going to fix anything. ETX is GARBAGE. All the best, NASCAR The Game Forums As you can see, ALL I did was call ETX "garbage", yet Redwings lumped that in with "namecalling", which is against forum rules. I didn't call ANYONE who was a forum MEMBER a name. Eutechnyx doesn't even look at the forum, much less PARTICIPATE. THIS is why that forum sucks. Moderators who are only there to kiss ETX ass, and to help them promote their DLC crap. I have ZERO respect for that clown.

I wouldn't put ANY faith in anything Redwings says. He is basically ETX's PR representative. I told everyone on SEVERAL occasions that ETX was going to leave everyone hanging in terms of fixing the game, and was going to focus on milking people with their garbage DLC. That's EXACTLY what's happened, and Redwings had tried to shut me down on more than one occasion. In fact, SEVERAL members were always getting upset whenever I tried to warn others about what was going to happen. Now everyone is complaining and asking about another patch. Redwings has little to say except vague crap.

The reason I'm mentioning some of the things going on in the other forum is because we can't freely speak our minds about what's going on without having most of our posts DELETED, which is what is happening. Before you start thinking that I was being "unconstructive", I was simply answering someone's post about why ETX was continuing to push forward with DLC, while not addressing the current issues. As for being "stuck" on an awful game, we are STUCK on being ripped off. That's a HUGE difference and when you cannot freely express these opinions on a forum which was SUPPOSEDLY for feedback, it's only natural that some people do it here. Thankfully, there aren't any ETX moderators who can start deleting honest posts HERE. Sorry, I'm not directly referring to you, but I'm really upset about what's happening at the other forum. There's not much to add as far as asking that another developer step in to do a Nascar title, so the only thing currently happening has to do with what's happening with Nascar 14' and ETX.

Here the latest reply for all the complaints about the DLC that came out today: Redwingsrule - "This is a known issue with the game and Eutechnyx has looked into it, but there's currently no fix for it planned. But stay tuned!". LOL. I have been warning everyone that ETX was only interested in jacking people up for their DLC garbage. Once they feel they have made as much as they could off of it, they will simply move on. "There's currently no fix for it planned..." NO SH*# SHERLOCK! I've been telling everybody this was going to happen.

LOL. You should see people starting to complain about the DLC, and how the game still has problems. Some of these guys are the same ones who keep defending ETX.

I just realized that ETX ending up with Tony Stewart on the cover of Nascar 14' was a sign of things to come.

I'm pretty sure we are all on the same page, especially considering that we are HERE. Lol.

I'm actually NOT advocating that ETX continue making Nascar games, I was just saying that if they DID, the only real way that they could develop a successful Nascar game would be to start from scratch, and hiring the right people who know what they are doing.

I disagree with the notion that they can build off of what they have right now. It's a complete mess, and to try and use the blueprint of Nascar 14' would only lead to MORE failure. I don't know if that's what you meant, but several others on the ETX forums were saying that ETX could simply build off of Nascar 14'. If they are going to seriously move forward with developing Nascar games, they NEED to start from scratch. The stench from ETX's previous work will ruin any chance of success. I don't see people getting excited about Nascar 14' 2.0, ESPECIALLY for next gen consoles. Successful businesses cut their losses and either move on to something else, or make wholesale changes across the board. ETX is calling what's happening a "restructuring" of the company. Nobody really knows what they mean by this, because we are talking about ETX. Normally, restructuring is quite a large change across the board. I would think this includes the development team as well. As it stands, the current team is clueless about this product, and they need SERIOUS help.

Yeah, I don't believe ANYTHING that comes from ETX. There is a TON of misinformation being spread on ETX's forums, including whether or not they are going to release another patch. Some people are claiming yes, while a couple of the mods have said that the ONLY planned release is the upcoming DLC. This is why I have been saying that all ETX is concerned with is ripping people off with their DLC garbage. Why anyone would give ETX another dime at this point is BEYOND me.

^^That is a FAR better alternative to ETX developing the game themselves. Basically, they would be the PUBLISHER. Even if they were simply a publisher, they would still be responsible for deciding when, and in what condition the  game is released in. They haven't shown that they have ANY quality control standards.
