This engagement is what is valuable to licensors and being able to show daily engagement gives FM a competitive advantage. Thanks for sharing your thought.

I understand why they do this and the importance of engagement, so I have no ojection to the engagement principle itself.

Virtually all conflicts and debates regarding almost everything in life is about the degree of something.

In this light, what I see differently regards whether the engagement should be (1) on the DAILY basis; and (2) only through PLAYING the game.

Then what is with the long-time policy for R$ and GC, and check-in bonus, which allows users to EARN them through WATCHING ADs or simply Checking in? I see there can be a wide range of types of engagement.

I hope I have made myself understood. R$ and GC will still be in use for all of the cars that are released into the Road Collection.

It remains to be seen what if any other content will be M$ or if it will simply be for F1. I guess we will find out if new Motorsports content comes out that is priced in M$. Given the daily limit for M$ and the 4 million limit in the bank and given the prices and upgrade costs and the numbers of F1 cars it looks like an exclusive F1 currency. Formula 1 is going to be a game within this game if enough people are engaged.

If they try to make other motorsports cars in M$ it will just take time and resources away from F1 content and will defeat its purpose. I didn't do the math but a normal player will have enough M$ to win only 5 cars and fully upgrade only a couple of them or alternatively buy the other cars without upgrading them substantially it seems without spending money.

I think it's a fair enough being able to win 5 cars out of 10 and being able to be fully upgrade a couple of them per season without paying any money.

But any other motorsports cars offered in M$ only will take attention and resources and engagement from F1. People will just win one F1 car each season and will be done with F1 for that season which is certainly not what F1 management thought when licensing it to RR3.
