@Horseponyhybrid The players do sign an NDA for beta testing in the past but unfortunately a brief few every year break this so it undermines the point of having it all. I know you can’t predict who will and won’t leak footage but there should be more strict measures and punishments.
On your point about the development cycle, they currently have 2 teams rotating so if they were to go to a 2 year release then they could in theory merge the teams while also leaving enough support to fix the current game which i do think would be better but with how popular F1 is becoming, i think it is a no brainer to release a game every year… so long as it isn’t broken
