Do F1 cars have backpedals?

Today, Frontier called the situation “crossed wires”, and said that there are “multiple updates currently in the pipeline, focused on addressing the most important topics raised by the community.”

Players posting on Reddit did not take the news well, with the board quickly filling with posts with titles like “A disgusting decision by Frontier” and “Never buy another frontier game ever again”, with hundreds of upvotes and dozens of comments mirroring the same opinions. More significantly, Steam reviewsquickly tanked, with 92 negative reviews posted today alone, making recent reviews “Mixed” versus a “Mostly Positive” rating for all reviews.

As of a few hours ago, Frontier say that this is all just one big misunderstanding. Anupdate posted to the same Reddit communitytoday says that updates are continuing.

I’m not sure how reasonable it is to buy any game and expect ongoing updates, particularly annualised sports games, but this also doesn’t seem like crossed wires so much as a company yelling “Sorry. Im sorry. Im trying to remove it” when players get mad at them.
