I don't think that's going to happen, they will just quietly kill Dirt Rally. That game is just way too difficult for a mainstream audience so it makes a poor platform to milk microtransactions.

The rest of the Dirt series (same name, very different game) might continue to exist to complement their NFS car game lineup.

Most likely though is that EA only wanted the licenses to F1 and WRC series.

Typical.

No, for $60 each year you're purchasing the base game. Extra race cars will be made available from random loot boxes costing only 15 DiRTCoInZ each! What a steal! Your friends will be so envious when they see you in that ultra rare limited edition car, so get those boxes!

99% of the time though, you'll just win the same paint job for a car you don't own, or maybe a nifty steering wheel cover you can't see in game maybe if you're really, really lucky, you'll win some cool spinning rims....again...that only works for a car you don't own that can only be won from a different kind of lootbox available only during special events...

Also, all these things are one day trials...that have to be used within 7 days or they expire.

For 15$ moreyou can get the deluxe edition with 2 exclusives cars and 5 soundtracks.

And now there is a sale on for 14 DiRTCoInZ for the low low price of $9.99, or, if you like, an even better deal: 29 DiRTCoInZ for only $14.99!

I remember when EA bought popcap and Plants vs Zombies 2 put literal price tags each plant.

Hand brake turn? $12 unlock

Don't be ridiculous they'll at least change the driver names, totally worth $60.

Not if it suffers the same fate as the Burnout series, in which case we’ll get one sequel before it’s put to pasture.

Burnout and Burnout 2 were made by Acclaim, yes, but there was more than just Burnout 3 with EA. Wikipedia mentions eight games. And yes, the series is dead (which is a shame), but Burnout Paradise became available on the Switch around June this year.
