Not sure why they got Captain Sensible to endorse that football game though…

Neither of those migrations are marketing related though, Colin is (unfortunately) dead, and the GRID game has none of the TOCA sanctioned series in it.

Any need to be so rude? I’m sure you can voice your opinion with out doing so. You only lose respect if you comment in such a way.

CM were obviously leaning away from the name by titling it Dirt (in such a way that Dirt took centre stage) well in advance of that unfortunate event.

Then that makes your not taking it into account in your claims above even more ridiculous!

Any chance you could approve my links to Greenpeace’s efforts to save sharks? It would seem only appropriate you provide these links after damning them and thus discouraging people from donating toward a cause you appear to care about.

The reason Codies stopped using the “Colin McRae” name might just have something to do with the fact that he died shortly after DiRT was released.

Good GRIEF man, could you be less informed?

Codemasters stuff if more likely to be pirated if they keep using copyright protection that stops anyone using it unless you get a crack.

I’ve often wondered why Activision forked out so much for the Tony Hawk licence. No one even knew who he was until the games made him famous…

Codemasters games will now be more likely to be pirated, as they are no longer branded.

Ironically, Codemasters just bought the F1 licence, who were asking for too much money from Sony and everyone was of the opinion that they should be paying someone to make an F1 game, not the other way around.
