>falling so hard for the "open world" meme that you even try to make your racing game "open world"
I still can't believe this happened. This is stupid trend-chasing on such a massive scale. Mario Kart 8 was far and away the Switch's biggest seller and they immediately destroyed all of its momentum by chasing a trend that doesn't belong anywhere NEAR a racing game in the first place. For a company that is usually so careful with its IPs, I genuinely wish that we one day get the behind-the-scenes story on how this even happened
