This is a silly opinion. We're the freemium model to cost $50-80 after buying all the gold you need to finish, EA and the idiots at Firemonkeys would be raking it in. It's not a matter of the freemium model being a bad one. The problem here is the coding for what could be a great game has been a money loser and will continue to be as long as it costs thousands of dollars to complete,the game. Face facts, players want to win the whole thing. To do that, it would cost at least $1,000 for the gold necessary to buy everything you need when you need it.,players are angry at the cost, so like me, they play when they can and collect gold as they can to buy cars that are realistic without racing 12 hours a day over and over to win gold. Now there is a second, worse kind of player, those low self esteem types who only feel,good winning online because they never do in real life. So they hack the game and cheat to win. Even worse than the former group. Think about it: do you actually think having to pay $100 US for A SINGLE CAR in a freemium model game is logical? They wrote a great game. They did a half a** job of integrating the freemium model and lost themselves a bunch of money. They deserve to. Perhaps EA/FM will get a bunch of 7 year old boys and girls to watch all the ads for games designed for them and make some of their money back. Probably not...
