exactly gav, they went from bad to worse, this was their opportunity to attract new customers, and create a fanbase to continue purchasing their games every year... instead they scared them all away...
who would trust reviews next year?, who would trust videos?, who would trust another "feedback from a F1 driver", who would trust their money on CM......
i had GP4 pimped with all the patches and stuff, but then it got annoying to have to start 3 or 4 patches before starting the game, but that was/is a 10 year old game.... this shouldn't be happening with a brand new game...
i will not purchase F1-2011, i will crack it as soon as is out, test it and if it's worth it, i'll consider buying F1-2012.... f1-2011 should be customers retaliation on them
