Anyone seen the numbers in terms of sales and player numbers?
The numbers just about say everything don't they

@SDGMattYour probably right, and I wasn't trying to say that they broke even, sales are clearly down. But even just buying the Champions edition is equivalent to paying for a game and half from the 2010's, so they aren't bleeding money that fast...
I'm sure they were expecting sales to be better than they've been (as Grumps pointed out that's probably why there have been so many discounts) but using 1M+ sales as the benchmark for copies sold isn't realistic. Things were always going to drop off at some point when the pandemic settled down and the F1 popularity bubble burst.
That’s been the biggest slap in the face for me, especially as someone who has pre-ordered every single game since F1 2010, is that I put my faith in them and paid £89.99 for the Champions Edition, only to find that I got nothing for my extra money!
I got 3 days early access to a broken game that needed to be heavily patched.
18,000 pit coin but the store was empty! I still have all 18,000 of it to this day!
I got 3 liveries only to use in Time Trial on last year’s game that I’m not going to play…
Not only was that extra £20 a waste of money, the game was 40% off after just 3 weeks, punishing every single player that trusted them enough to pre-order and pay full price!
That has completely broken my trust and put me off ever pre-ordering again…
I should have saved my money and bought it at 60% of the price a month later. Lesson learned..
That’s really poor from EA. They need to understand the impact that this game has had on the player base.
I have to echo SDGMatt’s sentiments. Next year they’ll have to prove to me the game is worth the money. I have better things to spend my money on then a rerun of this game.
I achieved my first ban last week too. I guess the truth hurts!
Bottom line is, F124 has been a calamity, to which I along with others spent £90 on it.
It's abundantly clear that they do not care anymore and are prepared to just rush out a game that has gone backwards over the past couple of years, with zero implementation of the wishes of their loyal customer base.
