As many of you are aware, half the cars are not currently available due to the need to licence said cars.
We have been in talks with a few car manufactures and while the cost % is not that bad (we actually budgeted for higher), the up front fees means we are unable to licence anything any time soon.
Nissan for example want $10,000 up front. (this is just one brand, how many we got? 6-7? That is $60-70k)
Even if we were to preorder cars at $5 each, that $5 has 30% taken by Steam leaving us with $3.50, then that is split 5050 with Invictus which means we are only left with $1.75.
We would have to preorder nearly 6000 cars of a single brand to pull this off.
Double the price to $10 per car, that is still 3000 cars.
If we were to pre-order cars via our own website, still looking at 5000 cars at $5.
Maybe if we had a much larger number of players, this would be doable. But at this time, licensing cars is off the table.
We will work on alternatives.
