Paradox also have about 100 employees, and having worked at many big and small companies in my time, it's a lot easier to do the sort of things that Paradox do when you're a small company and everyone literally knows everyone else.

The game should be out months before the new consoles, so I wouldn't expect any next-gen specific features. It will, I'm sure, be playable on the new consoles via backwards compatibility.

The 10 year career mode would be awesome, but their current licence just doesn't allow it unfortunately... they get to use the current year's cars, teams and tracks in the current year's game, and that's it. Anything else has to be separately licensed at extra cost, if it can even still be licensed at all. (Which in the case of defunct teams and sponsors, often isn't the case.) A Welsh driver wouldn't get the Welsh national anthem in real life, so even if they added them to the game, you probably still wouldn't hear it I'm afraid 😉

I'd be very surprised if it does in this day and age... could potentially be a serious safety issue.

Should be moved to the "Introduce Yourself" section, perhaps...?

Where have they said they refuse to do it? They may have different priorities to us, and that's often frustrating, but making stuff up about what they have or haven't said doesn't help.

You're very welcome to disagree, but then by definition you're not one of the people I was talking about. (Similarly, most of us don't care a jot about e-sports, either.)

We'd all love it. Many of us have asked for it before. The reality is, licensing historical stuff is legally difficult and time-consuming, and costs more money over and above their annual F1 licence, so they're always going to be limited in what they can do.

The number of tracks is certainly a bit disappointing, but more tracks are going to be made available as free DLC. Which tracks and when, they haven't told us yet.

They have said a number of extra tracks will be made available as free DLC. No more details are available as yet.

I've been a huge Apple fan since the 80's, but I've never owned an iPhone. Go figure...

A forum moderator's job is not to "react to PS4 problems", or any other gameplay problems.

Not as far as I remember. The last Codemasters game for the Spectrum was released in 1993, and even that still worked on the 48K Spectrum, even though you could only buy 128K Spectrums by then. There may have been 128K-enhanced versions of some titles (i.e. with better sound), but I can't think of any.

Unlikely... F1 2019 is on Microsoft's xCloud service instead, and there appears to be an exclusivity clause for now as there aren't any games on both streaming platforms.

Have we? I don't recall them making any promises to fix it. Since it's been like this at least the past couple of years, seems fairly likely that it's not fixable without another rewrite, and that's not going to happen in a patch.
