I would pay a reasonable amount for the game. That's been discussed many times here.

I think most people would be willing to pay for the game,but not at the outlandish price structure FM currently employs. I agree with this, i'd pay money if what I got would last longer than a single cars upgrades (like that £99.99 doesnt even fully upgrade all cars).

Gear.Club got it right, for $1, they gave me a generous amount of their premium currency (which also happens to be gold), a very generous amount of their normal currency, and a premium car that can be used in the beginner class races.

For just $1 they gave me everything I needed to avoid the early-level grinding, along with giving me enough gold to purchase a high-end car which was being run in a tournament, a tournament that paid back the cars exact value in gold despite me being nowhere close to the top.

Meanwhile what does RR3 offer? A £5 starter pack with small amounts of gold and a R$ car, a £10 starter pack with small amounts of gold and a slightly better R$ car. Or those dynamic packs that cost like, £20, and offer a car you need with and about 2 upgrades worth of R$. And then if you head to the store the cheapest gold pack is £2, and offers you less gold than what you earn by watching THE DAILY ADS. It isn't really a comparison. It is not a circuit racing game, it has far fewer cars and more gimmicks, and it STILL has its IAPs. $160 for one of them.

And you mention starter. You can get a long way in RR3 without paying anything, if you are willing to run the older content, including some good race cars, like the BMW M3 GT2 ALMS and the AUDI R8 LMS ULTRA. Even the PAGANI HUAYRA, AUDI R18 E-TRON QUATTRO (2014), and the BUGATTI VEYRON 16.4 are R$ to buy. So basically, we can't compare anything else to RR3? There are plenty of racing games that are either cheaper, or better AND cheaper, but for some reason, it's not fair to compare them because they aren't EXACTLY like RR3? If they were, RR3 wouldn't exist, because it's OVERPRICED. If they had compared GRiD Autospoort to RR3, that's a fair comparison.

Gear.Club compared to NFS would be a fair comparison.

But their assertion was spurious anyway. They were saying how much you get for $1, but that is a hook, like most other Freemium games. There is a lot of great R$ content that isn't that hard to get for free with a little patience in RR3.

And they left out the $160 IAPs that are in Gear.Club. Gear.Club, like any other freemium model expects you to pay through the nose if you want to advance quickly and get the best of the best.
