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 ...

@mariohomoh Sorry, like I said, long week, little scatterbrained, let me elaborate.
2k is probably the only company that could take a realistic run at the license. Couple problems though, they're undoubtedly pouring significant resources into GTA VI so taking on a new big-name IP and building in from the ground up probably not high up on the list of priorities. Secondly, for every microtransaction in F1 right now there's at least 10 in NBA 2K## so they're hardly a savior, which I guess leads to the larger point I was trying to make.
I've noticed for several year now, even back when I was just a lurker on the old CM boards that people like to say things like "If only so-and-so had the F1 license this game would be so much better". Problem is small studios don't have the money for the license, big studios need to sell stuff quickly to satisfy shareholders.
Then there's problems on the consumer side to. Casual players want a more arcade experience because they just want to out there and race with Verstappen, Hamilton and the gang while hardcore players want a sim experience that puts their abilities to the test. Satisfying everyone is never an option. Even in F1 24 had been next gen only and built from the ground up using UE5 I'm sure people would have found plenty of things to complain about.
Anyway, maybe it's just the topic of the thread title, but I guess I just feel like people are getting way way way too worked up about this.
Sorry for the rants...
End Rant.
@TheRagebeardBrother from another mother 😁. Nothing wrong with a rant or two… I feel one coming on myself
This is what many don’t seem to realise. Many maybe most players want to able to immerse themselves in F1 racing on the same tracks for their favourite team and going wheel to wheel with Max and Lewis and dreaming about what could have been if they got a Go-Kart on their 8th birthday.
One of the most common things people complain about is immersion or lack of it. Multiplayer is racing against randomly skilled people who also have vastly different ideas about sportsmanship that are sporting random Liveries who are all driving cars of equal performance. It’s far from F1
