F1® 23 - Patch 1.07 Discussion Thread

If you’ve bought digital copy off game.  There is only one way to get your money back.  But will result in you being permanently locked out of your EA account. So won’t be able to play any EA games you own linked to same account 

Anyone who purchased via Steam can refund the game within two weeks provided they have not played more than 2 hours of the product, and EA can't do a damn thing about it.

Anyone who bought it directly through EA made a mistake in doing so, because EA doesn't offer direct refunds.

I think we know why not. LOL.

@TrekariWhy's it amusing though?

I mean props to you for getting on the refund train sooner than everyone else here, but i dunno if taking humour in this is cool mate.

Plus no one's gonna listen to a random person on a forum telling them to refund it because that's just not how human nature works.

People have bought this game along with wheels/rigs and aren't able to use them together, I've seen people that have bought both as birthday presents and are left with very unhappy kids.

We're all in the same boat here, this crap isn't funny. 

Maybe it's just bad wording on your part, but in this situation there's nothing worse than a 'told you so'.

@matty0blobberIt isn't funny in the sense that Bill Burr is, or Dave Chappelle.

It is funny in the sense that people are aware of EA's reputation for being one of, if not the worst gaming company on the planet, and act like that reputation is still deserving of trust and faith.

EA deserves nothing more than to experience bankruptcy. Their annual releases are nothing short of what I would constitute a professional disgrace, and they do nothing to address these shortcomings every year.

I probably have more invested in my racing rig than 90% of the people here. The difference between them and me, is that I know EA cannot be trusted to oversee a charitable donation jar, let alone be trusted to fix bugs which were present LAST YEAR and still exist in this year.

People have known for years that EA can't be trusted to do the right thing. That they continue to purchase the yearly DLC instead of speaking up with their wallet and refusing to play EA's game (literal and figurative), to me, seems appropriate for schadenfreude. We all want this crap to stop. The only way to do so is for people to get burned with their purchase and realize that, next year, they should give EA's release the middle finger until it deserves otherwise.

If people want to continue to pretend that EA doesn't have the reputation they do for valid reasons, then they will continue to come here and complain about the functionality of a product they should have never purchased in the first place, and can no longer return. For every single person who continues to do that, EA continues to win.

We ALL like this game!

How do I know?

We are ALL on this board!

Are we ALL happy with the release?

NO!

Will ALL the issues get fixed?

The sad truth is probably not as the fix might cause more problems than the problem.

Yes I will buy F1 24!

I am sorry I was one who preodered every time they hav'nt even advanced My Team or Career this year so I will not buy next years game until they do what the community hve suggested.

Pre season testing making our own engine designing our own car. With the technology these days i really think all this is possible and more.

Also I womt buy F1 Manager 2023 until they put in a My team.

Well, I for one won't be buying F1 23 or F1 24 on any platform thanks to the removal of Weekly Events in F1 22. I simply can't trust that either of those game will still be fully playable by the time I get around to playing them.
