Personally I considered their talk of a "bug" to be (attempted) face-saving bullshit. They didn't just adjust the Le mans races, did they? They tinkered significantly with the payouts on most races. If there was a "bug," I suspect they mean that their algorithm for measuring fame to time/distance raced was producing too big a return for their liking (and possibly disproporitionate to other races, which is exactly why we identify those races as being more efficient). This suspicion is supported by their asinine attempt to make the crew cost more expensive than it could possibly be worth. That was not about any bug, but rather about their wanting people to take longer to level up, etc. and try and force them to (want to) buy GCs.

Anyway, I took their announcment to mean that they tried sticking it to racers, were shocked by the negative response and the impact it had on their game's ratings in the app store, and decided to - like a politician - come up with some facially plausible story that might not hold water but that soudns better than we were trying to stick it to you before we realized you were not going to just bend over and take it.

Just my 2 cents, anwyay.
