"Le Mans fame, Crew cost restored

On behalf of the entire Real Racing team, we want to extend an apology to all Real Racing fans affected adversely by some changes we recently made to the balancing of rewards (most prominently on the Le Mans track) in the latest update.

Our intent with these changes was to fix a long standing bug. In a development environment, it can be easy to focus on the science of our job. We strive to design and create a well-balanced game experience for our players, part of which is ensuring that bugs are fixed.

In this case, we made a mistake. Although this bug has been in the game for some time, we didn’t step back. We didn’t see how changes to, what turned out to be, some of the most intense and time consuming events for our most passionate fans would be perceived in the bigger picture. We can see from your feedback that the “bug” we had fixed to balance the game, particularly on the Le Mans 10 lapper, was seen as an appropriate reward to our most engaged players because of the time and commitment it takes to participate in it.

We acknowledge that our game as it stands today requires our players to make a real commitment to the gameplay in order to be rewarded, and we always want to make sure that the reward matches the effort. We’re always working to find the right balance between challenging and fun, while being fair.

We’re coming to you to not only offer our apologies, but to let you know that after careful consideration we have decided to restore the fixes we included in this update for both fame rewards on the Le Mans track and crew member costs. Furthermore, we will be offering everyone a double fame weekend during this weekend as well.

Again, on behalf of the team, we’re sorry. We hope you will continue to play and enjoy Real Racing because you are the reason we’re making this game, and we want to put you first."
