There was also a most wanted browser port that also had multiplayer support, very cool stuff.

I get that EA doesn’t consider releasing the same exact game since acquiring the same car licenses again would be difficult and the game wouldn’t be the same even with a single car changed; but people still play and enjoy these games after all these years, I bet it would offset the licensing cost at the very least.



There exists legitimate reasons behind Play Integrity, the check that requires you to use Google Play to download certain apps.
Let’s say a company is developing an app for a bank. They’re responsible for any malfunction that can happen on it; including the user somehow installing a tampered copy, or if the user’s device being compromised. The law might wary in wording; but most countries would find the app devs in fault if the app itself got hacked. You’re expected to uphold as much security as you can, and enabling an option that increases it is only logical.
