If 1000 gold would be available for $5 that wouldn't be the case. Exactly! Yes, I think this is the very point of their present business concept: Make us think these virtual cars and virtual gold are such valuable so we believe we "earn" a lot of real money each time we get them. An average player is like: Look, it only costed me 5 hours of farming and another 5 of running ads, but I have earned a car / gold coins, worth 50 real dollars! The game is old enough to have different ways of selling virtual goods already fully tested, so if it is like it is now, this must be the most profitable way for them.
