Community ManagerCommunity ManagerHello everyone,
The Community-raised issues thread has just been updated. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

By "updated," did you mean to say that you deleted a bunch of things that you clearly aren't going to address?
For example: Force feedback issues across multiple platforms are still present, but now it's no longer mentioned as a problem. I guess we should all just get used to having no FFB at all until turn 3 or so when coming out of pit lane eh?
Classic EA. Attempt to fix whatever you think you feel like doing, generally don't succeed at it, and then just erase the other issues and hope people will buy next year's game instead.
@Trekari No, he's saying that WRC turned out to be a good game so far.
But you're free to believe that Codemasters or EA or the universe wanted to purposely fleece and swindle a significant part of their consumer base with an inferior product while offering a good one for another. Codemasters, a 500-700 employee company with two studios in the UK and one in India.
You can also compare the F1 and WRC staff and look for common names?

Hitting play on that old record again: no one is happy with the state of the franchise, no one is happy with how F1 23, no one is confident in the future of Codemasters F1 games. You'll be hard pressed to find any veteran user here singing sweet tunes in praise of F1 23.
But making fallacious inferences based on that is futile and needlessly inflammatory.
@ScarDuck14
I concur though I had a bug in WRC with points not been awarded after finishing event on podium 😉 I hope it's just a minor oversight 😉

Are we talking nothing in common? 😇
I can't see any matching names if I'm reading your post correctly.

@SteveJacksonExactly.
Different staff. Reason why it didn't sit well with me writing Codemasters as a single entity.
Doubt most of them are even permanents. Would be typical of a studio that size to contract the programming teams rather than employ them as staffers. They need to stay off Fiverr for F1 though 😉
