Everyone bragging about “I’ve never spent a penny on this game I play non stop and I never will” followed by, “Gee, wonder why they had to force ads and make so little that parent EA spanked them” I have made a few IAP's on this before, think within a few months of when I started in early 2015 (four years of my life.. jesus christ !!) - think I spent about £20-25 ish. I know I did one for the 2014 RSR and the Lambo Miura - what WAS I thinking ?!

I'm quite happy to have ads forced if it helps them with some revenue. I'm sure it was stated somewhere that they make pennies / cents per group of ads, so it's almost worthless to them, anyway.

I would have made more purchases if only the real life value of the currency wasn't so absurd. I farm very little, I just don't have the time (seriously do some people run 3 or 4 LM 10 lappers a DAY ? - there's a guy on FB who says he typically does that and levels up every 5 days or summink ?) - So the way to even vaguely try and keep up with the pace of releases, is just to watch ads, BUT I get maybe on average 2 new cars per update and only do LTS, i'm not a full garager and even if I was, I simply wouldn't have enough time or resources to get everything.

I understand the game is in ongoing development - but EA seem to want the cost structure to be that of a console game, i.e. £70 and there's your content and game. That makes the cost of keeping up with each release approximately the same as a console game (IMO!)
