Community ManagerThere's definitely something going on here because even the community raised issues post hasn't been updated for two weeks now

@DrCarter33No that could be anything from an oversight to said member of staff being on holiday.
It still should be updated regulary by other members if someone is on holiday.
unfortunately we can talk as much as we want but those who have to read and remove or extend the license to other producers don't read.....the problem is big because I doubt that anything will change with the 24th, they will use the same physics, same folders, copy and paste, same bugs. .....otherwise I would have said dear guys on the 24th let's change everything.
There's a lot of points to be made about this that are disappointing.
- They only care when the major eSport leagues rant and rave about bugs, as if those 40-ish people are the only ones who bought the game. I guess we need to get them to rant about how stale career mode is in order to get new stuff for it?
- Apologies are non-existent for some reason? Just own up, explain what happened (if you're allowed), and give an ETA. That's it, it's not hard.
- Codies have been acquired by a multi-BILLION dollar company, but seemingly refuse to take 5 minutes out of their day to QA test even the basic parts of the game.
- Yearly releases need to go, starting the next F1 game release. EA WRC is $50 USD for however long it will be supported. But a yearly release title (F1) is $70? That's backwards. I'd rather pay $50 for a "base" F1 game and like, $25 for the new regulation cars (2026 in this case). Clearly whoever is Creative Director or whatever of the WRC game, knows what they're doing and has actual passion and care. Get them on F1.
- The fact that a multi-person team somehow broke Equal Cars, which shouldn't be touched, AT ALL, plus wait for a patch for more than one week, is inexcusable. Devs, do better.
(Also you guys can say you'll boycott the F1 series all you want but everyone knows they'll be buying the game next year, full price or discount.)
@JustShadowWolfeGood comment. Only thing I'd mention is that the people who DO walk away from the series won't keep commenting here, so we end up with a forum that self-selects for everyone who says they'll walk away, then doesn't. I personally know someone who stayed true to his word after F1 22, and he stopped browsing these forums entirely. If I forego F1 24 I'll probably do the same.
I think the metrics for sales and average players near release were about halved from F1 22 to F1 23, so there are people out there who are foregoing these games. Whether it'll be enough to get meaningful change, we'll see.
