Popular? That’s interesting; I didn’t realize it was still around. I haven't seen mention of it since launch. 

Yup. It’s an online game. I don’t think there is any corporation that would keep dumping money into servers for a product they literally can’t make any more money on. I’d count yourself lucky they even give you an extra year.
Hopefully modders can get unofficial servers going.

Just because it recognized it doesn’t mean it was in a position to avoid the outcome, right? This seems like it is written to intimate that the car “saw” the dog, identified it as a dog, and then made a decision to plow into it. 

Yes, but maybe it doesn’t make sense for a multi-million dollar studio to be developing and supporting it. Let’s say it’s got a profit of $250K annually. That’s not nothing, but it sort of is to a company like BioWare. So they farm it out where it can thrive with a smaller team and more focus on it.

Volvo is Geely’s way into the US and European markets without being identified as a Chinese company. The writing of that has been on the wall since they bought Volvo, way back when. It’ll be interesting to see if that works better or worse than what BYD is going to try, marketing stuff under their own brand (they…

Buttons cost $$$, I wouldn’t be surprised if not needing to engineer a button stack saved a good chunk of money, same for no instrument cluster. If you want buttons you can spring for the XC40 Recharge for $15k more.

Love the price, the range, the speed, and even the looks—I’d like to see it in person and get a sense of cargo space, but on paper this would be a perfect vehicle for me and my musical gear or dogs. I’m not in the market, but even still, I would want to hold out till at least one of these companies realize they need…

This is pretty solid as an entry level introduction into the volvo brand, I dig the minimalist styling and over all “volvoness” of it. Are all the colors tones of grey?

The game is still successful

I go back every couple years to catch up on content. The stories are still good, their is just less and less of it each time. The world is also starting to become a ghost town.

Turns out the overwhelming population tows a bulldozer to a remote job site everyday and absolutely commutes more than 300 miles daily so there’s no way an EV with any amount of range can ever fulfill the daily transportation requirements of most people, just as Jalopnik, they know... 

I don’t get it either . Articles like this that feed range anxiety are part of the issue . People tend to obsess about the 2% not the 98% of the time where 232 mile range is way more then their needs .

That seems highly unlikely. I have an Ioniq 5 and the absolute worst range I’ve seen is just under 300 km (200 miles) in windy, sub-zero conditions at highway speeds, with the best being over 500 km (310 miles). I live in a part of Canada where it drops to -20 celsius at some points during the winter, and gets to…

“167 horsepower, the EV6 Light gets 232 miles of range.”

They were absolutely shutting down any emulators and rom sites they could during that era too. This is far from new for them.

Very much this. Most licenses require you to release a title within a set timeframe or you lose the license completely. Better to release a half-assed game today and sell 1,000 copies than to lose the license tomorrow and sell 0.

it likely wasn’t their choice. with an IP like this the publisher likely forced release.

Fixing the bugs won’t change the fact that the game itself doesn’t sound playable, fun, or worth anyone’s time.

I know cars have gotten more expensive, but $17,000 for a 25 year old project Tahoe?
