Why is this cheaper than 2023?

[Wisp]

As the title suggests, why is this approx 45 CAD compared to the 70+ CAD price tag for the 2023 version?

I noticed this with the Fifa/FC games too, probably an EA related sales tactic.

We can only speculate but I'm pretty sure '23 came far below Frontier's expectations and they're trying a different approach to draw higher sales. All in effort to appease the stakeholders.

This isn't an EA published game, btw.

2023 didn't perform too well. https://www.ign.com/articles/the-video-game-layoffs-continue-this-time-at-f1-manager-developer-frontier

So I assume they woke up and adjusted the price accordingly. Which worked on me.

i mean................. lets not complain lol

[psychoblondie67]

i think its the right price for this game,
i will buy it tomorrow

[syndecoy]

Because its not worth a $60 price tag and they know it

[TyCobb]

2022 wasn't worth the price and should have been $40. I didn't even bother with 2023 because of the price and was too soured by 2022. But I'll roll the dice with this price.

Surprised 2024 is $35 and not $40, but I won't look that gift horse in the mouth.

Also if anyone is looking that hasn't bought the game yet, the Deluxe Edition is currently only $33 on Green Man Gaming.

iDK but hear this; i just been scouting around a few youtubers, to get a feel for what the game will be like, and found 1 youtuber who has had a key for a week and is already on race 13, apparently he started with a joke car facilities no money etc, and by race 13 Belgium, the team are 1&2 in the drivers championship in his first season don't forget.

I was seriously hoping for a tougher challenge even than 2023, indeed i was hoping that upgrades do not just improve the car automatically but rather be more like IRL, where they often fail and do not improve the car at all. or carry too many difficiencies in other areas . i even shared some ideas of using engineers and or greater length of time to reduce the probability of parts upgrades failing, but instead i watch with horror at what seems either a ridiculous glytch, or the sim being so tamed you'll want to invite it over for tea and biscuits, rather than provide you with a real challenge..

The point being, i would value this as cheaper, if they don't rectify an absolutely game destroying bug,

Simply speaking they don't want another F1 24 incident, yes it's very clear that they recycled assets, and nobody is going to buy last years game with updated skins and a bigger price tag. They have updated alot of things and added new feature which is great to see though.

You can change the difficulty to hard racing and hard development.

yea i think he might have the differculty on easy

[Oggmeista]

TY both for replying, but i'm not sure it should even be possible for the player to advance this quickly regardless of difficulty level, unfortunately i cannot find the link to the youtube which i recently saw, which will show you this huge issue , and you could judge for yourself, but i guess you will find out when the same nonsense scenario happens to you, Myself i'm just going to watch for a while keep a mindfull backseat and be certain that ridiculous bugs like this are not abundant,

[Sighman]

Many people who bought F1 Mgr 2022 decided not to buy 2023 because it was another full price release so soon after the first. This new pricing should encourage 2022 and 2023 players to upgrade.

I think the new price is great! I’m waiting a few days to see how the game launches and I’m panning on buying it. If it were more expense i wouldn’t buy it now, so in muy opinion is a good strategy to have this new lower price
