What do you mean "mistake"? It´s definitely no mistake!
This free version did an amazing job in making icube3d.com public and popular! I think it would be a clever way to keep the concept of a free-lite-version with opportunity to upgrade.
Otherwise I think many many people will switch over to the CraftAnimations 4-wheeler-free - and if they need more features they will upgrade to the product they are familiar with!

MadCar - 200 euro - good physics

CraftAnimations - 600 euro - bad physics

Well, it´s not too bad:

But I agree, I like Mad Car´s physics more.
The point is, that they provide a free version. It´s limited in functionality, but it fits for most requirements - excepting heavy stunt-car-driving.
I also think that the craft tools are waaay too expensive:
E.g. 1 year annual subscription for the vehicle-suite only: 672 Euro.
For comparison: 1 year annual subscription for 3ds max: 525 Euro!!!
This is somewhat disproportional.
But at a point where I have a project with a good budget I purchase the plugins I need - and this depends on the projects requirements and on the plugins features.
If the budget is good enough I don´t care about 400 Euros. Much more important is the time I need to become familiar with software. Thanks to the free version I am familiar with the software and the concepts behind and it is integrated into my pipeline, so I will think twice about the effort to become familiar with another plugin.
So I really think it would be a wise decision to provide some candy for free to make the world addicted to my product.
By the way: Here you can find my testing with Mad Car Free:

They provide 4 wheel version for free only because MadCar was free
More then two years everybody can test and use MadCar for free.
New version have many improvements and using is even simple then before.
