I guess people shouldn't expect hidden treats in EA games. In many games you are SUPPOSED to look for little treats and ways to get ahead. Hidden passages and the like.

How can you know it was an unintended design if you don't know the full design? I always found that line odd in the TOS. Hacking I get, willful altering of files shows definite intent. But someone stumbled upon this by accident, then shared it. I did the same thing with hidden Super Mario Bros. features way back when, telling all my friends.

It's reasonable that "Real Racing" wouldn't include this feature... but is it reasonable to drive against oncoming traffic to win a stage of a Special Event?? Or smash everyone's rear window out?? Since this is then about gaming, it's reasonable that there's hidden features.

In grade 10 Social Studies I was told of a hotel that over-looked a lake. The odd person would fish from the balcony. The dangerous of a hook hitting a person on another balcony was high, so the hotel put up signs saying "no fishing from the balcony". What do you think happened?? Yup, everyone who hadn't thought of it, now knew about it!! The idea was right there on signs, glaring at them. The problem got much worse.

FM will probably just draw a LOT more attention to this with bans. Some banned people will get very loud and make a big stink. Many more will now try to find a way to do it without getting caught. IMO, they should write a patch and move on like they have before.
