Can you guys just help me cobble together a short list of non-EA-games which feature Porsche cars? I'd like to send that to them to see their reaction.

That'll do it, thanks! I sent them a second e-mail, asking for further clarification. 👍

Well, the e-mail is already on its way, but I think I made the point quite clearly. Thank you gentlemen, I'll keep you informed of any updates.

That list is interesting. Apart from Choro Q Park, I can't see any of the post-NFS Porsche Unleashed games being of Japanese origin (though I may be wrong).
Although I doubt it in this era of international business relations, I wonder if it's because US and EU companies find it easier to negotiate a deal with EA (as Forza clearly has), or that the Japanese companies don't even try (although we know PD has tried)?
But from what I can see, there is a lack of Japanese games featuring Porsche, and a few US/EU games with, despite EA's deal.

If you don't mind, I'm quoting that list. Sports Car GT was actually published by EA. I will spend a little time to mark in bold which games were actually published by EA. I will mark in bold and red those that are featured in the Xbox, Xbox 360 and Windows that are published by EA, and only in red those that are just featured in the two consoles or Windows.
EDIT: This is all I could find, based on Wikipedia. I believe the fact that it is Microsoft makes a difference.

Hey Interceptor, I saw the Porsche response you posted. Did I understand this correctly:
Translation: In the interest of our "durable and good partnership" with EA, we have to comply with the decision to not license to GT.
Sounds to me like they've already answered your question. In other words, EA is blocking the Porsche license from GT.

Yes. But if so, why do Porsche cars appear in games that are not from EA?

That's great, it's a shame i missed this post earlier. I might be crazy, but judging by the wording what doesn't make sense today and can't be revelead might suggest that they are in but can't say anything at the moment.
Porsche can't be this crazy, they know that it would be better for them to appear on the right game. NFS has made a mockery out of Porsche in some recent Underground themed games, and to be honest, it's only 2 or 3 models on each NFS iteration.
It's like they paid big money for exclusivity but they are not using it. Why is it cool for EA to let their rivals Forza get the license and not GT? shouldn't be the same rules for other competitors?
To me nothing explains more the situation than the fact that somebody in the middle of this PR thing didn't want to conceive (pride, money, something). It's looks more and more that their absense is silly, something that other people taking care on both sides would already figured out.
-----------------------
McLaren's post about GTR license is a good one. If you can get the cars somehow directly through FIA, then this WOULD BE great. If this was the case, then some of the most important Porsches could be in it (like the Fina McLaren was on GT4).
It's a shame PR responses are always so evasive. Still, congratulations on the effort, it's already miles better than anything gaming websites/magazines ever did.
Maybe their second response can help us a bit more.

Doesn't RUF's 911 yellow bird has air intakes on top of the rear wheel arches?
