We get it EA. You've got all the Porsches — nobody else does. No other video game gets Caymans or Boxsters or even the brand new 2012 Porsche 911. But do you have to remind us so vividly — do you think having Porsches will keep you from continuing to be the also-also-ran of racing video games?

Because of Porsche's ridiculous licensing practices, the folks who make Need For Speed can put real Porsches in their games while other prominent racing franchises — Gran Turismo and now Forza Motorsport — are deprived of their ass-engined Deutschland-first slot cars. This latest trailer for NFS:The Run is just another reminder of the sad state of affairs.
