To be fair, this open letter is about the latest update and the cosmetic upgrades you can now purchase. These purchases do nothing to help a manager win.

I'm guilty of it myself, but maybe we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that all of the speed related purchases such as skills for TDs and Drivers, Driver favourite circuit, editable CD strengths, XP boosts etc. were all introduced well before this update.

At least removal of "Buy Now" has put a brake on people sharing these high value staff across multiple accounts.

“In igp you can’t buy yourself a win against an evenly good non spending player.” Slo Bro.

You honestly believe that 2 equal managers, one spending just the tokens they earn vs another who bought 2 legendary drivers, bought staff that gives the right strengths and weaknesses and an additional 3 designs points per race, (thats 60 DP at the end of a 20 race season) with real money. All that could be upwards of 800 tokens. And you’re saying you honestly believe they have the same chances in a season? 
Cmon, you know that’s just not true.
And saying it’s not as bad as other games does not negate the fact you can buy and advantage.





It's not 3 DP per race, it's 3 DP total, that's it. It might give you the edge on the first race, and I would argue against it, but 3 DP by the end of a season are meaningless.

IGP has always been a pay to win game, even more so after the update. Anything that improves the performance of the team or the time it takes to reach a certain target IS the sole definition of a pay to win feature. Can it get worse? Of course. But that does not mean that it is at the right place right now.

Check out GPRO to see what it means to have a game without any pay to win features.


I have to disagree with you there on 'iGP Manager has always been a pay to win game'

Many managers, including myself, have spent, guess how much on this game? £0.00/$0.00/€0.00

And we have won several championships, including major ones (German Elite League, iGP World Championship, and Rubens, in my case) These are championships where the top 20 cars are separated by +0.200s/lap in qualifying, and any of the top 10 teams can win on the day (Top 14 teams in the case of the ultra competitive German Elite League)

Everything can be grinded up, so you do not need to spend at all.

Whether some of these new token cost increases are justified or not is debatable though. I tried the AI Assistant the other day, and without any final confirmation tab on whether I wanted to spend a premium currency or not, it just proceeded to take the token willy-nilly.

Felt robbed, but what can you do! 😂
