We're not stupid
you can't treat us like idiots by saying that you modify the physics etc. with a game that must also run on old consoles there's no way we're not stupid at least you didn't invent the double version ...

@DavidGG53 We players don't ask that we release the game every year, forcing people to copy and paste.....if you just manage it differently and distance yourself from what the real F1 is then you can't charge an updated game at the same price. if it was new you do half for an update....instead you codemaster propose the same game as if it were new. but new of what? where are the formula 1 things if everything is a preset? in my opinion they have to sit down and say where shall we start? from what is missing, not from what he knows how to fix.....I appreciate that they make an effort to deal with everything but you declare new things when it isn't new, it's just tweaks....I'm not confident nor am I disappointed, I'll see the reviews of those who it's not the goal of pimps and I will decide but currently 40 drivers in our championship we don't buy it stop.

Either way, Liberty/F1 is most definitely happy with the monetization push.
On the same vein, if Codies were to lose the license, the chances of a boutique simracing studio grabbing it are slim or practically none.
Which is not too say that we're in the most capable hands there are, or that the franchise is in a good shape. Heh, it definitely is not from a consumer point of view. Beyond handling, I cannot recommend these games anymore.
It is just that it Codies were to stop making these games, we'd have another big publisher trying to bite this beefy chunk of simcade gamers, monetizing it to the gills - Unless Liberty Media changes their mind.
Also I’m guessing as single player career modes and GP are what atleast half the player base buy the game for. Id imagine it would put off many developers as it would mean developing and adding an immersive career mode. Despite the current games career modes have become stale. They are still closer to reality and immersive than any other racing game. Then what I think really would scare off other developers. Having to design a Ai that is atleast comparable with the current Ai. No other game has come close… Sophy is the only Ai that is better and is yet to be fully implemented in GT7.
