Nintendo Life: ''F1 2013 — the latest entry in the popular motor racing series from UK publisher Codemasters — is being revealed today. Given that F1 Race Stars has recently been ported to the Wii U, it's understandable that many Nintendo petrol heads are hopeful that this sequel will get the same treatment.''
Sad news to those wanting to pick up Codemasters Studio's Race Driver GRID and Dirt 3 after missing out on the recent Humble Bundle giveaway, the studio has delisted both games and F1 2013 from the Steam Storefront from as early as 31st December 2016.
The dangers of an all digital future. I will never get people who are rallying for that.
If you own the game you can still download and install it, you just can't buy it due to expired licensing.
only while it is still on the servers to download from... eventually it will be deleted from those as well...

If it's through Steam then that's not something i'd wouldn't worry about, they're not going to be shutting down their servers anytime soon.
Replies(3)I want to be able to play those games when I die, But that will only be possible in disc format. I doubt i'll have wifi.

It’s not quite time for summer vacation, but May is a time for sunny days, warm weather, and plenty of great gaming courtesy of Games with Gold. In May, Games with Gold is adding CastleStorm: Definitive Edition, an awesome tower-defense brawler mashup title, for free, as well as extending Pool Nation in Games with Gold for another month on Xbox One. On the Xbox 360 front, two great games are coming free in May: Mafia II, a third-person action game that immerses players in the dark and unforgiving world of the Mafia in the 1940’s and 50’s, and F1 2013, a realistic, open-wheel racing sim. As usual, all games are available only for a limited time*, as part of the ongoing Games with Gold program.
Wow, looks like both the PS+ free games and Games With Gold are striking out in May!!
Considering Witcher 3 releases next month. Can't have anything to crazy for May.
I think everyone is looking forward to Witcher 3... It's gonna sell so well.
CDPR deserves the riches
Yup.. I'm not mad at Microsoft or Sony for these weak offerings, because I still have a lot of the other free games they've given me over the past 4 months to play. Like you said, The Witcher 3 is coming in May, so I definitely won't have time to play any of these freebies next month.
Yep, both PS+ and Games with Gold are subpar.
Sony doesn't need to improve PS+ subpar offerings, since the PS4 is selling quite well... but Microsoft could really sell a few more X1's if their Gold offerings were better. It's Microsoft that needs to improve, not Sony.
Like it or not, the company that "offers" better games with their paid online service, could sway a few gamers in purchasing their console instead of the competition. It happened last gen with PS+ "offerings" for the PS3.
Microsoft doesn't learn... they simply don't know how to compete.
Supposing the other way around, if the X1 had better sales then the PS4, you could bet your a** that Sony would be offering AAA PS4 games with PS+ to improve sales.
PS+ offerings subpar? Whatever....
Not sure about the all the PS offerings, but I know Guacamelee and The Unfinished Swan are great games.
To say Sony is not putting in any effort because the PS4 is selling so well is ignorant.
I'm in Playstation's corner, but getting AC Blag Flag for free was pretty sweet!
Happy to see CastleStorm on the list. Its a game I was interested in but was probably not willing to buy.
CastleStorm was great. Looking forward to playing it again with the DLC on the X1.
MS we gotta do better than that!
how bout Lords of the fallen to usher in ur new partnership with deck 13
Yea, very lackluster next month. There are way better titles out there old or not that could be offered to Xbox users.
Steve from Gamespresso argues that it's time for Codemasters to stop releasing new F1 games annually, stating that they should either add new liveries and licences to existing games as DLC, or not release a game at all.
F1 2015 is going to be released Q1 2015. It is going to be "true" next gen game codies say. Over 2 years they have worked on that game. If it fails ..
The author of the article seems mad for whatever reasons that don't make any sense, the F1 racing series is a very popular which has had great success is sales from 2010 to now.
Can't wait to play F1 2015 in march/april if not mistaken (game is suppose to come out a month or so early before the F1 season starts).
It certainly has had great success, and that's not surprising, but that doesn't mean that we should agree with essentially the same cash-grab being shipped out year after year, regardless of how good it is.
Got 2010, 2012 , 2013 , skipping 2014 just nothing new in there, 2015 is the true next gen
Defo wouod need to be different it will look crap thats the difference lol
Sounds like a BS excuse to me. They probably dont want to port it scared it will tank just like most of the other 3rd party games are on Wii U
I highly doubt that, but the Wii U would need more market share and F1 fans.
This guy is making out as if Wii U is not powerful enough to run the game, when its being released on the PS3 & 360!! Wii U is a more powerful machine & is more than capable of running it!! ie. PROJECT CARS!!
He's LYING to the public on this one!! they just don't wanna take the risk yet as it might not sell with Wii U's small install base. I Guarantee you, if Wii U's Sales were much higher, most, if not all third party games would be coming to Wii U. I have a feeling thing will improve for Wii u in the future..
I'm calling it now, MARIO KART 8 releases, Nintendo will market that game like theres no tomorow, all over TV!!!! explosion in sales!!!
