Here's the problem. EA has an immensly popular game that was and is available for FREE. The only way to finance development is to get the user to pay for gold, otherwise the in game R$ would be convertable to gold. In order to pay for development cost they had to get a major player like NASCAR in on it. That's why in the future we're going to get more NASCAR and fewer world cars and tracks. That's very disappointing to the fans of GT and Formula racing. (The game would be really cool if they had a Superbike series. Imagine the full Brands Hatch circuit or the Isle of Man TT. What the heck is the Hyundai i20 WRC doing in the game? It belongs on the backroads of Norway and Australia, not closed tarmac race courses).

They should have asked $2.99 for the game in the first place so the gold/R$ wouldn't be so diproportionately skewed.
