Uh oh... Nacon is in Trouble 🚨
Nacon has suspended stock trading on Euronext Paris.
Parent company Bigben failed to repay €43M in bonds 😬
Now Nacon says it needs “rapid financial restructuring.”
They make: Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, WRC & Endurance Motorsport.
@UbisoftSupport And yes, I have a VPN. That's not about to change. I rarely even change countries. Valve doesn't seem to care, and my Steam library is far more valuable than my Ubi one. I'm sure you can store a token locally to know it's the same client regardless of network address location.
I know @UbisoftSupport won't do anything about this but FOR ONCE it would be nice if I could turn on my PC and NOT have to enter my username, password and 2FA code into their launcher. You have a 'Keep me logged in' function - can you guys PLEASE figure out how to make it work?
Let me summarize everything that's happened in the last week
>Collective Shout contacts payment processors to get Steam and Itch io to remove adult games
>Steam removes 100s of games and creates a entirely new policy to lick the boots of Payment Processers
>Day later Itch io removes their entire Adult Game category
>UK "Online Safety Act" comes into effect restricting the internet for the entire country to "Protect Children"
>Within 24 hours UK creates a Police Task-force to monitor political opinions of its citizens
>Europe gets hit by "Age Restriction" in some sites too and they find out the "Restricted Internet" is coming for them too
>People find out American bill titled "Kids Online Safety Act" is introduced into Congress to do the same thing
>Wikipedia is being asked to censor itself for the UK
>Search Engines are now stuck in safemode for certain countries restricting internet
>Mouthwashing a horror game on Itch io is removed thanks to Payment Processors and Collective Shout
>UK is trying to force American companies to censor themselves after the "Online Safety Act" came into effect
@testdrive Can't even spend time adjusting options let alone drive around. To whoever decided this game should have no offline mode, thanks for ruining the game.
⚠️ We are aware of connection/servers issues for some of the players. Our team is actively working to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding! 🙏
Hi everyone, I’ve been quiet for the last while for a very exciting reason. In the very near future we’ll be announcing some huge great news relating to our upcoming game GTRevival and company developments. Stay tuned! I'll update you all as soon as I can.
@StefanFunke5 Yeah, there's a ton of areas on the site that need work. I'll torture Tom later as he runs things. I just lend my name, concept and pop in for a free meal when I'm in Bavaria. :)
@bell_sms@Ducat79 Speaking of cockpit whizz, a surprise this year was The Crew Motorfest. For an arcade game using a gamepad I'm often drawn back to the interior cam just for how engaging it is and find I'm quicker through switchbacks with it. Just hard to see past certain obstacles.
I'd like to announce a restructuring within Straight4. We'll be retaining all staff through Christmas and beyond for as long as we can unless we're going bankrupt. The staff are the bedrock of any organisation and you 'use' them like numbers on a spreadsheet at your peril. Happy Xmas.
Well we've just hit a milestone. Our new physics in early form, with our new graphics engine in early form and our (from the start) Physics guru Doug Arnao testing the 296.
You asked for early moving footage. What's missing? Tons! Head physics movement, some audio, some lots...

Free signed Platinum copy of GTRevival for the person that can come up with the greatest insult. Fresh or borrowed, doesn't matter. My contribution - Bill. Burr during his 'Philly Rant'.
'You disappointment to your mother'.
@bell_sms The other hand to consider is to much early exposure for many years can reduce hype by the time the game launches. I've seen something similar happen with TDU SC who launched a CGI trailer in 2020 but still don't have a firm release date. A tight NDA ought to help.
So peeps. When should we get WMD3 running? I always planned it as a Christmas goodie this year but also wanted to ensure (despite NDA's etc) that we'd not be showing anything shite before first base ship to be followed by the actual game dev... Tough call.
I'm very happy to announce that JonZ will be joining Straight4 from the 1st of September as our Video Creative Director.
Welcome aboard mon ami.
