Yeah, this was cool. And the reason for Toyota’s absence in NFS Payback and NFS Heat’s base game is because of Toyota’s exclusivity deal with Japanese racing games like Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 6 and Gran Turismo Sport. Reasons why Toyota wasn't added to NFS Heat via the update after their exclusivity deal with Japanese racing games ffinally ended in the late 2019 are: -The closure of Ghost Games in February 2020 -The COVID-19 pandemic Reasons for Toyota's absence in NFS Unbound are: -As I said, the closure of Ghost Games in February 2020; it makes sense that NFS Unbound was originally made by Ghost Games in November 2019 to February 2020. After the closure of Ghost Games, NFS Unbound’s development was moved to Criterion Games. -As I said, the COVID-19 pandemic; it is one of the common issues for the vehicle manufacturer companies and video game developers in the 2020 and 2021 years. -Battlefield 2042; in 2021, Electronic Arts told current developers of Criterion Games to put the development of NFS Unbound on hold in order to assist its other developing company called DICE for Battlefield 2042. -The release schedule issue; current developers of Criterion Games rushed and polished NFS Unbound for its release in the late 2022. Yep, it makes sense that those current developers didn't have enough times to re-license Audi and Toyota for NFS Unbound. And I still doubt the police chase theory for obvious reasons. From what I researched, CEOs of TRD and Gazoo Racing didn't commit any crimes like the CEO of Honda’s Mugen in 2003, meaning that Toyota doesn't have anything against police chases in fictions. Yep, a custom pink Honda S2000 was chased by police cars in the 2 Fast 2 Furious film because Honda was not against police chases in fictions at the time. But after one month after the release of 2 Fast 2 Furious, the CEO of Mugen was arrested by the police for the tax evasion, so Honda became against an idea of their and Acura's cars being chased by police cars in fictions prior to NFS 2015. Yep, Need for Speed Assemble AKA Need for Speed Mobile is the first NFS game to feature Toyota both since NFS 2015 and after Toyota’s exclusivity deal with Japanese racing games finally ended in the late 2019. I learned that the Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX AE86's appearance in NFS Assemble is one of the signs that Toyota still doesn’t care if fictions feature police chases or not.
