@Trekari in a way, anyone that consumes as product serves as a disincentive for that company to put out a better product next time.
But are we really going to judge someone for the value they attribute to their 60 bucks? Going to scoff them for spending that money on their F1 game?
If they got their money worth out of it, kudos for them.
If they didn't, absolutely should refund if still able to. Perhaps get back to it later on a sale, or grab an used copy on the cheap somewhere.
If they didn't and cannot refund? Hopefully that's a lesson learned. But kicking them online will absolutely not help that lesson sink in.
@BadMayh3m specifically is an old timer, has been playing these games probably longer than any of us has ever been able to reach the gas pedal. And he's got his grievances with F1 23 as well, stick around and you'll eventually see.
Heck if I will criticize him for spending his money on these games if he thinks he's getting enough out of them, or if he has confidence enough in this franchise to jest that he'll do the same next year.
His opinion is valued, has hanged around with the occasional dev in these forums and the original ones, and he voicing his discontentment with the few (or many) ways that F1 23 rubs him the wrong way packs some punch. Don't think it's fair to equate him to the "suits" at EA, even as a rhetorical artifice.
