Default Anyone know how to get a Steam refund before F1 2010 goes live in the UK? :-)

The trouble with this split release rubbish is that I get to sit and stew for
several days reading poor reviews and disappointed comments.

In truth this is exactly what I was expecting. It's Codemasters FFS! And anyone
with half a clue could easily read between the lines on those interviews where they
were all spinning their code very cleverly to try and appeal to everyone.

But I don't object to that. We're all grown-ups and we know how the marketing world
works. And besides, I enjoyed NFS:Shift quite a lot, and still think it's the best
'Ring experience I've ever had in any sim. So I'll probably get *some* pleasure out
of F1 2010, even if it's only having a rainy race running in the background as a
calming screensaver.

However as I sit reading the comments I do feel buyer's remorse weighing down
what's left of my eagerness like a set of tungsten tyres on a track made of
marzipan. If I could have my £27 back now, I would do. That's almost enough to buy
half an iRacing track or 3/4 of a car!

Ok, I exaggerate *slightly*. Who am I to talk about wasting money when I've ****ed
so much down the iDrain on content I never use? F1 2010 is a drop in the ocean by
comparison!

Mmmm... I'm starting to feel a little better now. :-)

Only a little, mind.
