DriveClub Online Features Going Away in 2020

Former game director Paul Rustchynsky has clarified that the game will be delisted due to a standard 5-year licence deal expiration which is not related to the studio shutdown.  Of course, if Sony can't sell the game any more, you can understand why they might terminate online services for it.

Paul also clarified that any content you already own can still be downloaded from the store (i.e. if you replace your console) - the delisting simply means you can no longer purchase the game or DLC.

Also if you view Rushy's twitter page you'll see more comments clarifying the above, but also interestingly -  he is now a part of Slightly Mad Studios.
