I was looking at these just yesterday. I've not played any (but have all 3 in my GOG from freebies) and the age and look of TW1 kinda put me off but you've convinced me to give it a go.
Ridiculous amount of game crashes and lost saves were the big issues so I refunded the game. Overall I found 23 much more enjoyable but I agree that the depth just isn't there to make it last.
There is already a yearly release for F1 so I'm not surprised if the manager game gets cancelled. From what I hear this year's game is very buggy and unbalanced, even more so than usual...
I have one game with 1000+ hours and that is Squad. It's the only online game I play anymore as it is the only game that has teamwork/communication (it takes be back to Battlefield 2 days) and none of the shit like battle passes etc.
My gaming habits are just playing lots and never finishing anything... but I have fun still.
