I have a great like for this GAME. The point of difference with this GAME and part of its popularity has been the perceived/real equality in the pp system and the racing against the clock, AI or other gamers. Without this market advantage it just becomes another shift or GTA game. Therefore this save game manipulation may be a greater issue for PD and those who make dollars from the game then to individual gamers. Hybriding of cars sort of already occurs with the tuning, colour changing, tyre options, racing modifications that can be done in the game. It is the coding which is used to filter the cars when you enter an event which make the game what it is. Hybriding probably should be embraced by PD and the fact it is occurring it is expressing the need for something more for some gamers. The codeing filters that already exist when entering events should be fixed, if this cheating is occurring. This could be win win for everyone, which I am sure the business people associated with the game are currently investigating. What better way for developers to obtain ideas then watch hackers and then gamers express their ideas. I dont use the photography applications in the game, track building or the drifting but I know there are gamers who have a great like for these in the GAME. Why cannot this be the same for slamming and flying cars? not that I am interested in either. Remember it is just a great GAME! I have spent approximately $1000 playing this game. Some of you more. There is too much money to be made in this type of product for business people to allow it to be spoilt. Just my ten cents worth or should I say $1000 worth.
