Hello Al, I'm sure the devs have already read your (and our) request.

They won't ignore them, because they want to make some DLC for WipEout 2048.
And they know if we can't play the game how we want (free play, racebox offline and online), the customers will just finish the offline campaign, will try to finish the online campaign if they meet enough people, and after, they will play other games.

Why will a customer pay for a DLC if he can't play it in its own way ?
