I've never claimed I only wish to pay R$ for cars. Please don't throw a straw man argument out there to attack me with, that doesn't help your cause at all.

I understand the economics of it and why GC exists in the game, I've made that clear on many occasions. GC has always existed in this game, and for the same reason. I understand that and have no issue with it.

The issue I have (which I'll lay out again since it's apparently been unclear in the many other comments I've made) is that the GC requirements are becoming increasingly demanding.

I agree with all of your points regarding what FM has to pay and how much it costs to develop the game. I know full well that it's an expensive process. But, they've managed to survive as long as they have with their previous methods, so the math must have been working out.

My main comment is that these costs have existed in this game since its inception and yet FM has only recently been putting the screws to players and suddenly (over time really, but ramping up in the past 6m-1y), started to hit us hard. It just seems a bit suspect.

I just really think they are going to alienate their core customers and drive them away, which will not be beneficial to their bottom line. You can't continue to raise prices on your product and not expect it to have an effect on demand for said product.

I just think there's a better way they can go, and I've provided possible options in past comments. I don't think the method they've chosen is the right one in the long term and I think that the increasing comments of complaint point to that. I've seen more complaints about this event (here and elsewhere), than I can recall for any other event in the past. That doesn't bode well for FM.

However, continue to be an FM apologizer and be content with what they've been doing to this game, we're all our own people with our own opinions. But, excuse me for not joining you in that effort.
