The Crew 2 History, aka why “But Ivory Tower is supporting the game since the launch in 2018 !” is not true at all.

On Nov 24, 2020 7:57 pm, by Gamer

I just want You to remember, that The Crew 2 launched in alpha-beta state, without a new, fun and proper content. The launch was rushed just to earn money on a well-known brand, before the premiere of Forza Horizon 4.

Legend:
GRINDFEST – adding atrocious amounts of grind

BUY CC FOR DOLLARS – microtransactions , paywalls
