Who deceived you? I don't know why anybody would preorder in this day and age without waiting for reviews from outlets and people who don't have an affiliation with the developer/publisher.
Codemasters and EA deceived me. I don't care what you would or would or wouldn't do, I payed for an incomplete product.

I don't know, I don't think there was a point that we should ever expect a day one purchase to be not filled with bugs and being incomplete, especially a game on a yearly cycle such as F1. Previous experience of the game probably would have told us that this would not be released in a complete manner.
When we have companies only care about their quarterly projections for their shareholders, the onus of the quality of the game is lost, coupled with the short development cycle. If we want games that are released in a more playable day one condition, stop preordering, wait for reviews a week into it, then buy or not buy. When people are buying it regardless from day 1, coupled with preorder sales, no matter how buggy the game comes out, EA and companies are going see it as a success. If we hit their weekly sales on release, they'll take notice. But hey we live in an impatient world where everything has to be now, now, now with consequence thought of later....

@TotosHeadphonesAs long as consumers keep apologizing for the companies that are giving it to them in the button, they will continue this lazy, arrogant, incompetent way of doing business. Have you seen EA's recent Madden or Fifa games? Would you go to a restaurant that advertised lobster, then gave you a cheeseburger. But halfway through your cheeseburger, they bring out a lobster claw, only this time they promise to bring out the rest of the lobster once they figure out how to cook it? Is that what we're supposed to accept now? Just because "that's how it is"?

Some of these guys/kids should of been around when games were on cassettes, no internet no patches and no fixes was the norm.
The snowflake generation eh. They have it great right now and still don't realise it
