Sos 1937 to be axed

I saw this at http://www.digitalsports.com/ Seems the game will only be published in Europe. What is it with Hasbro/Microprose only publishing racing games in Europe? We don't race well enough here in North America? Philster

Hey, I am disappointed about this, since now if I want the game I'll have to pay extra for an import, but please don't post incorrect/misleading headers. Just because it's not going to be available on the regular shelf in the US doesn't mean it is "axed". Marc.

Man thats a pisser. I mean the GP3 thing was a mistake...i can only hope this is too. However that doesnt seem likely. Well...anyone know how i can get this game in the states when it comes out? Who should i order it through? Chris

Probably just more BS to build the hype. They got that f*ckin' hype machine running in overdrive at this point. :(

You honestly believe that the "GP3 thing" was a mistake? As far as I'm concerned, anything they say is a pantload. > Man thats a pisser.

www.interactcd.com They have great cutomer service and great prices. You will not have to pay extra for imports. I have purchased GP500, TOCA/TOCA 2, F1RS/MGPRS2, and Colin McRae, all as imports from Interact and I have always had good results. Don Chapman

>Man thats a pisser. I mean the GP3 thing was a mistake...i can only hope this >is too. I hope so too ... but it is what my contact at SGN (the guy who gets games from companies) was told, that the game won't be available in North America. :-( Joe McGinn ========================================== Staff Writer for the Sports *** Network [link lost in import: /***.com/] ==========================================

I guess they just must not want our dollars or something, it surely doesn't mean that the actual game won't be available here. I keep wondering when these morons will realize all this means is that these sims *will* come to North America but usually via the Warez route, like most of the other sims like CMR and TOCA F1RS etc that take over six months to even show up on store shelves here if at all. Personally I'm sick of having to wait many months for European sims, I've got money burning a hole in my pocket to buy these sims, but for some reason they don't want to make them available to us. I wonder how that can make any business sense especially for a huge company like Hasbro/Microprose. Seeyas on the track. --John (Joao) Silva GPL Ferrari driver.

As a programmer I avoid warez on principle, but I agree that is the major effect of these moves.

I'm sure a lot of European developers would love to see their sims released on to the US market, but too many PC games have crashed and burned before them for publishers to consider the risks worth it for minority interest titles. Don't blame the publishers, blame the restrictive retail system. Publishers must *pay* the retailers to stock their games, and if it bombs they must pay again to have them returned. - Michael
