I disagree with the original position that they are purposefully setting the game up to stop making updates. Many others here have made very valid points from the addition of 5 tracks to almost a new car a week, we are over 45 new cars in the last year alone. They have a vast wealth of untapped potential in older cars to add to the game.

I do agree, however, in that the game has become astronomically expensive in terms of gold outlay. All the new cars that are not won are only able to be purchased by new users via gold (no R$ cars added since I think the NASCAR Richard Petty-mobile which was over 2 years ago). I have found as a longer-term player of the game, cars that were previously offered in SE or LTS now regularly require 1 or 2 more upgrades to win them than when they were previously added. This does allow for newer players to pick up these cars they missed from yesteryear. But both old players and new ones alike still have to add gold upgrades to complete.

I will say that the game does not seem to be dwindling in participation overall. I just ran the WTT event and I am sitting around #8800 and I am in the top 5% (group C). What this means is that over 176,000 accounts have posted WTT times in a game that is closing in on 7 years old, I do not know of one console game that could boast those types of numbers 7-years after being implemented, not one. Just ask the PUBG folks who had to change to Fortnite due to dwindling numbers in that game.

Overall I do not think the game developers will be quitting anytime soon. But great posts and great inputs!
