Going by RD's policy (for which i approve of btw) there will be people that will not have bought the extra content but could possibly get it here for free.
Of course everybody will buy this.... the save bug is now fixed, the game is now playable at a good level except for those super racers out there.. and for other PC users there are some good mods to fine tune the database. I reckon this time they will listen to whats on this and other forums and get the AI, weather and tyre wear all sorted. Can pigs fly? lol!!
Then, is new stance the special exception for porting F1 2011 materials to 2012?They can't as our Terms of Service is very clear on what we allow or what we don't allow to be uploaded or shared.

Why should they? It's not like consoles are affected and I think they're selling more console units anyway. So why bother?LOL! The save bug is not fixed on PC.
If they don't allow mods to the database again, or we have save failures in singleplayer due to mods, then I don't see myself doing any more work on these games. .
Hm, you get content which you did not buy. In both casesYep because uploading paid DLC for a current game is the same as forward porting some stuff from an older game. Oh, wait...no, it isn't.

Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with the current decision - just saying
Forward porting is more or less accepted with any game developer but that is something completely different than porting new DLC to a game.
For example: Simbin has no problems with old game content being brought to their newer titles.
It makes sense as people still need to buy the newest version in order to play it.
That same applies to F1 2011 and F1 2012 and Tom contacted CM for a clarification per email and they didnt even respond to this email.
If they are not ok with it they can let us know.

Thanks for clarifying.
May I make a suggestion? Maybe, some people don't see that thread and the other people might misinterpret this new stance. So I think it should be announced in sticky thread in MOD section. What do you think?
Unlike the other sim game, in this series forum, it might not common sense. Because the percentage of casual gamer might be pretty high, I guess.I think it's common sense...to be frank.
What HAS happened to it anyway? It's still the same engine (with some graphic tweaks), so the basic file structure should be the same. Or is it? Or did they somehow encapsulate the game content (car models, textures etc) in some un-unpackable objects and you can't replace the files anymore?What has happened with their latest offering Grid2, doesn't give me a lot of faith for this title.
It's possible that CM will lock everything. CM did it in the past for Operation FlashPoint. First unpatched version, we could modify almost everything. But after several patch, CM decided not allow to modify everything. I know that fact, so I can't think it's not going to happen.What HAS happened to it anyway?

EDIT: No, wait, I saw the GRID2 section here at RD and they have livery mods, camera mods, some of the guys are working on the physics...
