Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Asobo, known today as the Microsoft Flight Simulator developer, created groundbreaking technology for large scale maps that was intended to be used in a high quality rally raid title. It was never released and ended up as FUEL, a post-apocalyptic open-world racing game. What happened?
EA have removed F1 2020 from Steam and it’s status is now listed as retired. If you own F1 2020 or can buy a Steam key from somewhere now, you’ll still be able to run it and activate those keys, but the official Steam store listing no longer allows you to purchase.
I really hate this. While older titles were disabled because of issues with Microsoft’s XLive being ‘broken’ or due to historic car licenses expiring, it really is disappointing that since EA have taken over (February, 2021) so many titles have been pulled. They join other Codemasters properties like Project Cars and some older GRID projects on the pile.
