This is a sports car racing game, and the sports car racing demographic is older affluent males. It's an expensive sport. Many of the "pros" are really just wealthy guys with a serious hobby. This game is targeting deep pockets. Most other games are not. So on average our pockets are deeper than the ones of the majority of fortnite players. Not just allowance but regular income (affluent I'd not call myself that). So the company, in this case it's EA after the bottom line, expects to get more out of "us"? At least that's how I'd think. But: older players who in most cases worked for their money and are used to care about personal finance a bit, maybe won't be as willing to give into something. Especially if it's been cheaper before and thus the get the feeling of being ripped off. My opinion. Would be really nice to know how all this is looking from the other side, after all we're just sitting here assuming, opinion-ing, guessing etc. ;) I agree with both of you.

There are times in the game where I feel ripped off. That just makes me dig-in and and not just go along with their agenda.

I earned my money the hard way,(concrete business) and I'm not giving FM $99.00 for fantasy GC to buy fantasy cars. That will never happen.
