Nmoore6 2 Posted July 10 I get why sponsors like Marlboro and mission winnow are not in the game. However, I think that much like the nascar games, there should be an option to enter in DOB and get access to car liveries that have tobacco/alcohol sponsors. Look, (for example) it’s cool that the old 1990 Mclaren is in the game, but that Marlboro sponsor was a part of why it was so iconic. I just think it should be an option for adult players. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarryBL 4,314 Posted July 10 Issue here would be. Sponsors would have to be fake regardless due to licence Alcohol and other references would make change the games PEGI rating. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In theory you could add the Heineken ads again since the game was released? @BarryBL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BelgiumDude 461 Posted July 10 Does that option in Nascar work all over the world? Can't imagine it works in Belgium and most of the EU countries as tobacco sponsoring is illegal overhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The total war games keep out blood and gore from the main game and then sell it as a cheap dlc (Which almost everyone seems to hate as much as Creative Assembly try to explain it) which may work as a rating workaround. That doesn't solve the license issue as I suspect F1 don't allow that in the game at all. Codemasters seem to have had recent success with getting more allowed in the license but I suspect they have to choose carefully which things to push for. If you take a look around other suggestions there are a lot of things people want that are restricted by the license so I wouldn't expect this to happen any time soon if at all.

Yes, the licensing issues would be the general reason why this wouldn't be implemented. I was talking about adding sponsors for adult products in the game. Really, licensing something like Heineken trackside isn't an issue, as it is an official F1 partner. Non F1-partners, well that's another can of worms. Total War Three Kingdoms is classified MA in Australia for Strong battle violence, blood and gore, online interactivity, so the game is classified for those additions already. I'm talking about examples such as We Happy Few, which was initially classified MA15+, then re-classified to R18+ upon release (after being banned), and then the themes of the Lightbearer DLC caused the game to be banned again in Australia. 6 hours ago, Conny1309 said: it doesn't matter if the game is over 18 Well, the game isn't over 18. I don't think Codemasters or Formula 1 would want to risk having their game classified only to adults, rather than being accessible to those Under 18. As I'm in Australia, I'm going to use Australian classifications for this, but as the game is rated G, they would not want to risk having the game rated to M or MA, just for something as trivial as an alcohol sponsor.
