Trivia

Sometimes, logic just dies in the process of making a game. EA astonished the entire gaming world by supporting online gameplay in the Windows version of NFSU, but leaving out LAN play. Often, games only get LAN play because developers don't want to deal with latency issues and different networks. EA on the other hand, developed a "Cross Platform Online Gaming" feature, which allows gamers to compete online on different platforms (e.g. PS2 vs PC), but there's a catch: no LAN play on PC. This means that players have go through an external network connection just to join a server sitting right next to them.

EA won the 2003 "WTF!?" Award on Shacknews for this 'feature.'
