Free to get, yes. Free to play, no. You pay with your time by farming for gold, watching ads to get faster service, faster upgrades and to get gold, and generally being a "player audience". When the number of players goes down, the revenue from ads declines because a game with audience of 100,000 generates more than with 1,000. At 100,000 we may be just below the economic level of providing "quality control". It's a spiral: less quality leads to less interest, to less revenue, to less quality etc. etc. Nonetheless it's the best racing game out there (that I know of).
