I’d play NFSU in modern graphics! But apparently linear games are not allowed any more and it always has to be open world and come with seasons and DLCs and all that.
The entirety of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty made less money than the first paid mount skin in World of Warcraft. That's why companies don't make linear games - because people will buy the microtransaction that required 1/1 000 000 effort of the game for more money than the game made.

I am slowly buying and playing through the old NFS games. I just bought Carbon and I'm going to go pick up MW before it comes in. I love the Underground 1&2 but Most Wanted was special for me. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
Wasn’t MW open-world?
I'm sure it is. It's been a long time but underground 2 was open and it was before MW.
