Time to make some clarification about the rumours related to pre-orders. We confirm we worked on this matter in the last two months. When we supposed that the entire process was almost ready to be started, our lead programmer unofficially confirmed on his personal twitter account that pre-orders would start very soon. This was supposed to be true. Sadly, in our Country the laws related to e-commerce are very complicated and inadequate for the digital distribution. At the last minute, just a couple of days before to launch the pre-order, we have been informed about some additional documentation and rules that don't allow us to start the pre-order phase already set. This has nothing to do with Steam nor with the development of the game, it's just burocracy. We understand you can be disappointed about it, but well, you can figure how much we are too. Anyway, if we made any mistake or lack in communication, we apologise for it. Everyone can make mistakes, we are not better than any other.
Now we are working on a different strategy, with the aim to meet -as soon as possible - your wishes and our needs. As soon as we are able to give you more information, we'll update you with more details, through our official channels. Meanwhile, thank you for your kind patience and support.

Desideriamo fare un pò di chiarezza sui rumors relativi al delay del pre-ordine. Confermiamo di aver lavorato alla fase di pre-ordine negli ultimi tre mesi. Quando abbiamo ritenuto di essere ormai pronti e ci stavamo dedicando agli ultimi dettagli, il nostro lead programmer in risposta ad una domanda privata ha twittato sul proprio account che la fase di lancio era ormai imminente. Nulla di inesatto: purtroppo, solo un paio di giorni prima di lanciare i pre-ordini, siamo stati informati circa la necessità di provvedere -e ottenere- documentazione aggiuntiva relativamente ai nostri piani di e-commerce. Questo non ha nulla a che vedere né con lo sviluppo del gioco, né con Steam, è solo burocrazia. Comprendiamo la vostra delusione, ma credo possiate immaginare la nostra. In ogni caso, se c'è stato qualche errore di comunicazione da parte nostra, non possiamo che scusarci. Tutti possono sbagliare, e non ci riteniamo migliori di chiunque altro.
Ora stiamo lavorando su una strategia differente, con l'obiettivo di soddisfare nel più breve tempo possibile la vostra legittima impazienza e metterci nelle condizioni di completare tutti gli obiettivi che ci siamo posti. Al momento opportuno avrete maggiori dettagli, tramite i nostri canali ufficiali. nel frattempo, vi ringraziamo per la vostra pazienza e supporto.
Aris share the facebook post with these words :
Particularly unhappy with it, as I had pre-order website, e-commerce pages and everything else ready to go, just to find out at 1 o'clock in the night about that little "font 6px" things that would have severely hurt our business and the AC project.
Back to the drawing board and I guess we need to do something special for all you people patiently waiting.

@ Aris, AC is already ( most likely ) special enough, as one of the patiently waiting one, that is all I expect and will be delighted to be able to order and SIM drive it when available.

Fixed.
This country is a nightmare for every good idea. Kunos better run away wherever they want in EU just out from Italy. Our politicians are able tu ruin EVERYTHING for big companies to small business.
It's not only the Governament it's the incredible amount of local bureaucrats d*** heads we have here that ruin everything. They work 10 hours a week, they are always sick or in vacation, they never answer to phonecalls, e-mails, most of them talk out of their a**, when you talk them face to face they tell you "yes it's possible" and yet when it's time to make something happen , something goes always wrong in the last minutes. This is what happen if you try to make business here.

In a way, it is competing with Forza and GT in that they have said that they want to go for some of the simcade market. Going head to head with Forza 5 and GT6 is probably a good thing. GT6 is on old hardware and Forza5 requires a huge investment. I think that AC will be particularly attractive to people who already have a wheel and don't want to spend a ton of money on an xbox 1 and a new wheel.

I agree. Im glad the game is moving forward, but Im not really looking forward to yet another beta. Seems like lately all the pc racing games have decided to just release their games as "betas". Some of these games have been "betas" for months now, and one much longer than that. Is this the future of pc racing? Release a half finished game and hope to finish it at a later date?A beta version...

I m torn. On the one hand, I m glad the game grew new features and much more content along the way, on the other hand the betas are indeed getting a bit much and didnt they say that they were ready to launch the game already before some crazy italian law liner notes stopped them? And now its only a early access beta? Well, still cool but I hoped for more, since they are indeed now several months behind the initial release schedule.
