New cars and new tracks keep interest up in varying degrees. If they get it wrong for any particular update, then interest wains, if they get it right people get stoked. This is very true but (there's always a "but"!) the last few weeks I spent more time on OMP until I got to a semi-decent rating and then stopped, I'm currently sitting on 23 and haven't played for 3 days! The main reason for not playing the last few days wasn't so much the loss of (losing a few  really wouldn't make much difference) as the frustration caused by being beaten by those who "cheat" or experiencing one of the many bugs which ruins OMP races, I would play more (and risk the loss of a few ) if I knew I would have clean, bug-free races ... as I've previously written, I don't mind (too much) being beaten if I have a good race.

You recently wrote that they generate bugger-all revenue from adverts which did surprise me as I thought that was important to them, if not then it puts a question-mark over trying to increase player numbers in OMP and WTTT unless it's all about trying to increase new player numbers i.e. those players who don't have upgraded cars and will hopefully spend money to acquire quickly, but if that's the case you have to make the rewards worth the cost, in WTTT the rewards are pretty good, in OMP they're crap! Also, by extension, that means they're really not interested in the views of long-term players as they probably already have most cars (partially or fully upgraded) and have learned how to drive and play the game and so are less likely to spend money.

Don't get me wrong, I like them adding new content, but I wish they'd also fix some of the issues which have been in the game for a long time and (appear to) listen to customer feedback.
