They advertise the game as 'feel', with IAPs, so that's nothing new. The thing is, the IAPs are the most expensive I've ever seen. And if you don't want to, or can't afford to buy in, it makes the game more of a chore, than fun. There should be a compromise. I would be happy if there was an upfront charge for the game, and a REASONABLE cost for gold, and as someone else mentioned, maybe a small fee to download the updates.

My second game was fun when I was getting the free gold, but I don't have elite status on that one, more do I have the right cars for WTTT, so unless I buy a few thousand dollars worth of gold it's finished. There's just not enough time in a day to farm enough to get anywhere.

For those who are not yet granted elite status, and/or successful in WTTT or online racing, I can't see how they have any real way to continue. Many people can't afford $100 for gold. The smaller amounts are even more expensive per GC, and it's not really enough to make a dent in the game anyway.

I can fully understand the frustration.

This game needs to be affordable across the board for everyone, not necessarily free. What I can see happening now, is that are going to lose all but the elite players, and those willing to spend LOTS of cash. But in today's economy, how many of those people are left?

It's a sad day in virtual racing.

Btw, my nephew just got a new racing game for his Xbox. 60 bucks, fully unlocked, no extra expense. Might be the way to go.
