It’s cheap for a big company to register a few domains, keeps the interns busy plus you get free easy news coverage like this.
Everybody wins.

Maybe it’s called… Need For Speed Proven Redline TimeAttack (with) DriftKings Boost (against) StreetKings Lightning Eliminator (on the) Takedown NoLimits Overdrive ShowDown (at) TheRun GroundEast… I LIKE IT

That’s probably just this year’s sequels they’re announcing.

You never know they might be making 14 games at once, a new way to screw the consumer. Oh no wait that’s Activison I’m thinking of.

I’m hoping for “Need for Speed: Speed for Need”.

Whilst Need For Speed : Takedown is the obvious choice for a Criterion NFS I’m going with Need For Speed : No Limits as I can see inside Alex Ward’s head using my special crystal ball.
