comp game license/ rFactor

[simon_blay]

Does anyone else play rFactor? Why are the modders not allowed to produce a custom version of the BTCC, who tells them no/pulls them from the game? I would have thought its free publicity and cannot see what harm it could do the series. Saying that, there is a mod very similar that is superb, just a shame that they are not allowed to go all the way

Because, I think, Codemasters owns the licence and ToCA has to protect that licence and has pulled the mod.

From Mr Gow himself:
"For the exact same reason that anyone can't go and just produce a game or a game modification using, say, the images of Michael Schumacher or Mickey Mouse."

And Codemasters' TRD3 doesnt even feature the BTCC....!

Yeah, and when was the last time the BTCC was in a game. Great business by Codemasters, have the license but don't use it - then nobody else can use it.

I would like to know when Codemasters rights to use the BTCC ends so that I can buy a BTCC game.
