I have been playing this game for well over a decade.
I understand needing to make income. The game is great and I have supported it by making purchases from time to time.
I noticed the new TD abilities and first thought they were a great idea. I figured if a season was tight, or when the time was right, I would see about investing in some ability.
Today, I go to set up for my weekly league race and notice that now my TD gives no decimal place for fuel at all. A feature we have had since it was a thing is now behind a paywall. In my league, as in most, running a few liters too much fuel means being uncompetitive. Period.
The idea of paying $$$ to have more information I did not mind. I can be competitive through the old information and my experience. If I choose to have more info, I could.
But to take that information, the decimal places, and put it behind a paywall forces anyone that wants to play and be competitive to pay.
I am doing Monaco today. Fuel says 2.
That’s it, 2
2.15 vs 2.35?!?! Who knows? And that’s the difference of having to add 12 liters. Unless of course I run out of fuel. So do I figure 2.55?
All this means the game is unplayable to me unless I pay.
I mentioned this in my league and a member commented that with improvements comes the possibility of spending.
This is not an improvement, this is putting vital information that makes the game playable, that we always had available, behind a paywall.
