Will this be a harbinger of things to come? Will CR be reviewing the next installment of Gran Turismo?"

Apparently, I'm not. I found this article on spamspotter.com: "This unfairness of RAC fees motivates the majority of coders to negotiate payment outside the scope of RAC which amounts to you and coder getting a better deal. For example, I have several coders that I fully trust willing to work on projects on a monthly basis because it is easier for him to deal with established clients than to have to bid for projects all the time. It saves me time and trouble because I can work with a person that I trust and he knows what is expected out of them.""
