Re: EA/Codemasters losing F1 license after 2025?
I'd take those rumors with a grain of salt, units sold is EA's problem not the FOM's. The FOM would primarily be concerned with getting the most lucrative licensing fee possible (who can pay more than EA?) and having decent reviews (believe it or not F1 24 is sitting at 66% positive on Steam overall and 72% on reviews in the last month) so there isn't much incentive for them to pull the plug.
That said, it's completely possible EA decides not to renew the license from their end when it expires if they feel they're not making enough money back and there isn't a quick and easy path back to profitability.
The thing that sticks out to me is his comment about the license going to iRacing or RFactor, which IMO feels unlikely. As I mentioned they would most likely give it to the highest bidder which would probably be 2K as they were runner-up in the bidding war to purchase Codemasters. F1 2k27 anyone?
