Hello everyone!

Today I would like to propose IGP premium. With this you would pay 5 dollars each month and get some rewards from it! So, some of the rewards would be, special liveries, hats or other designs for drivers, your team emblem next to your account name, some tokens, race recordings, free livery, name changes, and look/appearance changes for staff and drivers! Obviously, if the devs do accept this they could add or remove things from this list. This wouldn't be pay to win, but it would definitely help the IGP get some money that they need and deserve. So, what do you think?

Thank you to write it down!

The meaning behind it is a premium feature with what you will get access to some stuff like race recordings/replays….. BUT you won’t get an advantage in a race so no P2W!

This is a great suggestion as it would mean fix income for igp while not becoming pay to win

Come on man!  That would lead to more and bigger accusations of Connor cheating.  And you know it!!!

Not sure why people are voting no, wouldn’t be required. If you disagree with this, can you say what you don’t like about it so if this introduced the devs know what is wanted and what isn’t? Keep in mind that this would also give the devs some money they need to improve the game

You also need to keep in mind that the devs have already said no to monitisation in that particular way as well.  It will be nigh on impossible to get them to change their minds wrt this idea, considering the game's overall philosophy as a game for all where the upper reaches can be reached without paying a single bean...

Not saying that that getting to the upper reaches without paying is any easy, of course, but it can be done...

It feels like many players want iGP to improve the game and that work should be payed with the love of the players but not with their money ……

Think about….

And again this suggestion has nothing, realy nothing to do with pay to win. But that should be clear after reading the suggestion ?

What you say is fair enough.  But if the developers, themselves have already stated and have the philosophy that they do not want to take money in that way, will they want to do this, even if it does not make the game "pay to win"?


This idea will be considered, I am sure, but will not be taken on due to the developers philosophy on such things.

I believe that other financing ideas will have to be taken on first, before a subscription payment would even be considered...

Finally yes, it’s up to the iGP crew to decide what they want to do. 

We just wanted to show a way what could be a solution for more improvement

This is actually something we want to add at some point, but we want to do it properly and until then the idea is sitting on the shelf. I would like to include the basics as outlined in the OP but also some really good prize draws too, which will be partly funded by the subscriptions. It can be much more than just a few cosmetic perks and there is so much we can do to generate value for a subscriber without impacting anything in gameplay.

As finances are being discussed as well, I really appreciate everyone that acknowledges and understands how complex it is, and the sort of resources it takes, to build and maintain a service like this. We have no outside investors and have to remain profitable at all times to keep growing. It can be a grind at times but it keeps us focused and lean. I am confident that our overheads are a fraction of similar games and if you look at what we're doing with those resources (i.e. the latest blog) I'm very proud of our team. There's a lot more to come from us and I've got a lot of ideas waiting for the right time and resources to come to life.

Thanks to everyone who enjoys our services enough to pay for them, because you make it possible not just for us to continue expanding but also for us to provide a free service for everyone else. Even people who aren't in a position to pay for services can take part in this community and go racing thanks to your contributions.

I rate the idea. Unfortunately, 5 USD on a global scale may be too much. Perhaps, if plausible have the "5" a constant and the currency be varied to match managers chosen country. Yes, it would make it unfair, the stronger economies would be done dirty. Though in the small possibility were the quantity may sort the inequality out. 


FOR EXAMPLE:

 5 USD = 77,15 ZAR (South African Rand's). For context an Apple Music Subscription is 60 ZAR, branded bread is 14-22 ZAR, and 1 GB of mobile data is R99.00 ZAR.  So I would assume based on zero facts, all feelings. 77 ZAR is hard to swallow for that's nearly 1 week of bread. Though the reason I suggest that 5 be the magic number. It would be far easier to convince 15 people to play 5 ZAR per month than convince 1 person to pay 77 ZAR.  Where the fantasy starts. Maybe you convince a hundred people, and for 5 ZAR you get 500 ZAR which would be 33 USD or so...  LOL, yea unlikely, but we can dream.

Ummm, another option is to have it 1 USD Globally. Nothing a good marketing campaign can't fix.

Regardless, mate the idea is solid. I would settle for 5 USD, though honestly would love to see the estimates on who low would we need to go, the get to a place where we hypothetically get "More with less". 

***********************************************

Last crazy idea. 

NFT's 

A way to sell a form of "Private Equity Investment", but on an international level without the government getting too involved. I would guess there is a couple of "1%-ters", who would not mind funding an idea while having little to no need to see larger returns but instead growth and sustainability. See a community of motorsport die-hards who are more Totto Wolf than Lewis Hamilton. All on one platform. a metaverse for racers.
