That's odd, I wonder whether it is simply an oversight or the usual "licensing issues" which would be bizarre, but what other reason would there be?

How do you know that they got accepted? Did they talk about beta club? 🤔

My name is in the game so I'm lucky, but I can definitely see how this can be frustrating for those players where it is not. CM are also in a difficult situation as they can't feasibly add all the possible names in the world, so I like the idea of more nicknames and nationalities.

I agree it should be an option, maybe it's a three level option Mechanical failures: * AI and player * AI only * Off To me it only really makes sense to be an option in career/my team, as the player has control over durability and car wear, but I don't see why it couldn't be used in Grand Prix mode if the player wants. I agree it should stay out of Online (including leagues) as the player has no control which would be infuriating for random failures.

This bit I fully agree with. Either random failures are on for every car on the grid (AI and human) or they're not. Having your rivals in career mode suffer failures but not you kills the competition in my opinion. The possibility should be determined on a scale. The more worn a part is, the higher the chance of it happening. So while at 0% wear, a failure is highly unlikely (but still possible) whereas 80%+ it's just a matter of time. This would put more emphasis on looking after your car and investing in durability upgrades.

First lap racing incident. No penalty

It should be yes. First rule of BETA club...

*Phew* Reading it all again, you are correct. I can go back to being excited again now 😄

Ah, that's me out too then.

Thanks, you've save me from an RSI 😂

Refreshing my inbox over and over 😂

They will.

Not sure if this is true or not, but as a gentle reminder for those of you who are selected for the BETA, you will not be allowed to discuss the BETA in public, including this forum. Recipient agrees not to disclose any of the Confidential Information to any third party

I work as a product owner for a dev team and any software company worth their salt would not purposely shield a BETA from critical customers/users (usually the opposite) as all feedback is useful, good, bad, and ugly as long as it's constructive. However the issue comes when people think that their feedback is all that matters, or they speak on behalf of everyone. Also, just because your feedback isn't directly actioned, it doesn't mean that it doesn't help form future decisions.

The current situation is irrelevant to the BETA process.
