In my opinion, FM sees Flashbacks as 'giving' gold to players in a similar way that sales reduce the cost of upgrades, so are give-aways as well. I don't think it is a coincidence that this release had a lot of car sales and upgrade sales, but no Flashbacks.

I'm curious, for those of you who follow details closer than me, did the reduced number of sales each release coincide with the introduction of Flashbacks?

I'm not saying I agree with FM's policy, if my supposition is correct, but to me it makes sense from a financial point of view. However, I will boycott the Gauntlet this release unless there is some gold on offer for levelling up or other.
