F1 22 De-listed From Steam And Other Storefronts After 20 Months, Only F1 23 Available

[RSC]

This is a super annoying trend that I have already written about multiple times, but earlier this month Electronic Arts removed F1 22 from stores and made it exclusive to EA Play under a $5 per month membership. The 2022 edition of the Formula One franchise joins every other title except F1 23 in a land of limbo, unpreserved, and largely unplayable by players wanting to explore the history of the franchise or the sport. De-list dates (bold during EA ownership): F1 2010 – September 21, 2017 F1 2011 – May 5, 2021 F1 2012 – March 11, 2022 F1

I'm afraid this is a new trend from EA: from the day of announcement of a new F1 game the previous installment is no longer discounted during sales and it's delisted next year, when another title is revealed. And I hate it too.

Yeah, it really should be a factor in any purchase decision.
