How much?! |

Grim... wrote: How much?! Yeah. That's $12 for the car plus $12 for each track I don't already own (10 of the 12), minus a 20% discount for buying six or more items at once. Plus a monthly subscription (I'm currently paying $3 a month but that's a reduced rate). I've just obtained my Class D licences in both road and oval racing by using the cars and tracks included with the sub, but need to splash out if I want to get my Class C licence. My poor wallet. |

Buying a different car isn't going to make me suddenly better than those who don't - it just means I'm able to participate in different series. Unlike freemium mobile games where the game mechanics are skewed towards rewarding the 'whales' who pump tons of money into the ecosystem. Plus now I've bought a load of tracks I'm able to use them in other series too. For example I only need to buy one car and one track to be able to compete in the NASCAR Super Late Model series in Class C now. |

Yeah, I did swither about that but I'm away in Warsaw for four days at the end of the week so it's important I get as much time in as possible before then. Also, it'll be only the second game this year I paid full price for so fuck it. |
