Le Mans exploit meant lots of gold flooding into the game, less IAP and ads watched etc. FM income takes a hit, prices go up to compensate, flushing out some of those ill gotten gains. Ummm... WHAT?! I dont' know what this Le Mans Exploit is but I'm just going to guess (based on history and its' name) that it's some kinda of farming thing and the result of it is that people can level up unusually quickly.

Let's be brutally honest, shall we? The types of people who find these things and exploit teh living crap outta them are the kinds who'll never EVER spend a single penny on teh game. When I see someone at level 800 I KNOW that they spent nothing (or next to nothing) and instead put on theri coveralls and straw hat and tractored mindlessly around teh track for hours just to earn a handful of GC.

And you are worried that that is having a large impact on EA's profits??!!! So much so that they need to GOUGE us in current and future releases?

EA is a BILLION dollar a year company that makes a profit well over $500,000,000 yearly, this includes RR in there somewhere. They are NOT hurting for money. Costs for lawyers, etc? Sigh. Whatever. Their cost of doing business is in their shareholders report you can download and ... when they make $1,500,000,000 (1.5 billion) and after costs are still making nearly a $billion they aren't worried about handfuls of imaginary coins.

And, considering I'm pretty sure I'm right and you don't pay them any money and just play for free, why should what you say have much impact upon them. You know who their marketing peopel will tell them to listen to? The whales. The people who spend hundreds of real dollars monthly to play And, yes, they exist. Many of them do. They just don't visit this forum or reddit to read how to play for free. That's how come they are making so much, still.

My complaints are NOT that they shouldn't make a profit. HAHA Bro, I used to work for a large multi-million dollar computer comapny and then I left and formed my own small only-a-couple-million dollar software development company, and we wrote real time game engines as well as other things. I understand how companies work, i also know how to program. And, yes, I used to spend hundreds of real $ monthly to play this game, so, my opinion matters.

I think they charg too much for too much effort and reward way too  little. That's my opinion. You can disagree if you'd like and I don't mind. Just dont' try to defend them as some poor little broke company.

Done.
