Sounds to me like a last ditch attempt to try and fleece a few more unwilling NASCAR fans to buy their broken and buggy game in the “promise” that they will continue to support it.

For the record, they did season expansions for Heat Evo to 3 (Heat Evo has 2017 expansion, Heat 2 has 2018, Heat 3 has 2019). But it seems like they, in a last-ditch attempt, tries to combine that with 2K skipping WWE 2K21 after 2K20's disaster.

So much for the dedicated game then since the cars have been repackaged as DLC for rFactor 2.

They did and that's not a problem. But they did still release full, improving games for each. Ignition isn't good enough to build over multiple years through patches.

They did, but MSG wasn't involved then. Is it even the same Dev anymore? It's just listed as MSG now.
Honestly, if the dedicated game is canned for this BS then MSG can do one. 2 cars and 2 tracks, never mind the fact it's a PC only sim.
They could really save themselves a lot of image pain by just being honest.

The Heat series was supposedly co-developed by Monster Games and Deusenberry Martin Racing/704 Games with the latter also serving as publisher (it's pretty clear now though that Monster did the heavy lifting). From what I can tell 704 pretty much developed Ignition with some physics help from Studio 397.
It's becoming clearer every day that Motorsport Games bought the wrong half of that partnership.
Very much so, even notoriously quiet companies like PD have been better at responding when there are major issues with their titles.

Looks like they're adding further cars. But even if they had all the content, they can still do one.

Not putting out an annualized game when you're a game publisher and need new products to sell? And you're already not making money?
Feels like this company is going to be gonezo in about a year. Their fall game is...KartKraft for console? A game with no single player career?

BTCC game status update due before the end of June 2022
I guess the game is still being worked on? If the content was just dropped for rFactor 2 and the game was cancelled, I imagine they wouldn't make a future announcement on it. Then again this could be another trick to stifle money from investors...

Link doesn't work. I assume you mean this. https://auto4sq.com/btcc-game-status-update-due-before-the-end-of-june-2022/
Which includes the May Investor Presentation which says this game's release date is being announced in the next quarter.

Browsing through Twitter, I found this article including this quote from a former employee. Not a good look when Alan Gow is annoyed at your lack of updates.

Bit convenient to have a release date 2 years away when the company isn’t even expected to last another 12 months? Bunch of crooks running the ship and genuinely feel sorry for the people that were brought in by their lies and deceit.Full Release 2024

With this announcement, as well as the recent apparent renders for the IndyCar game, it seems like a desperate last ditch effort to try and boost their plummeting shares before the final nail is hammered into the coffin.
Hopefully going forward some of the global motorsports organisations will be a LOT more cautious about who they give their licences to, or at the very least put in get out clauses to prevent crap like this from happening again and being scammed by crooks posing as game developers.

They say in the article, 2024 release as previously stated by the company. I don't recall ever seeing them state this and the initial time we had was 2022 wasn't it?
We're never seeing this game.

Not surprised in the least. Bunch of scammers posing as a video game developer. Gotta feel sorry for the employees and everyone else they suckered in with false promises.
There really needs to be something put in place to stop companies like this snapping up so many exclusive licences, especially when they have zero track record at all of developing games!

No shame on the BTCC etc here, BTCC content has already hit rFactor 2 for a start, Alan Gow wouldn't just hand out licensing without assurance of a quality product. What it shows is how many lies and hollow promises there must have been to all the series' they were claiming to license and make, IndyCar, Le Mans, etc.
The real damage is it has a likelihood of putting these companies off from attempting to license their series' again.

Also not to mention motorsport games will signing a exclusive deal with Indy car end of the year.
Shame on the Btcc and Indy car series selling their souls for greed rather than allowing their licences to be used by everybody.
They can make more by licensing it to every racing games but nah.

To be fair on the BTCC, nobody is looking for their license in the same way iRacing is with IndyCar. It's more a case of circumstance than greed from the BTCC.
