You're right to. This is about player numbers, the degree of pain they can inflict, and a Formula E promotion.

The cars were too expensive for the rewards, so they gave them away. The upgrades are too expensive for the rewards, even at 50% off, in the career series. Not sure how many people are biting. The numbers playing the TT have gone from 97,000 this morning to 175,000 this evening, with very few getting a return that justifies the investment in time to earn the gold for the cheap upgrades.

The biggest problem with FE is the steering physics at Hong Kong. Kevin Schwantz described his bike as "getting squirrelly". HK circuit is like driving a small, high speed bendy-bus.

They'll learn, eventually.
