MTX suck, but I knew some form of monetization was coming. At least they are not that bad and don't paywall anything. Still hate MTX tho
Update stuff is great but can we talk about how good GTS trailers are. So stylish and classy, Love it

If this "upgrade" comes from some company like EA or Ubisoft this would be a complete meltdown. Microtransactions are evil and must be defeated.
"it feels just like the real thing"
I know they pay you to say this Lewis but come on now...
Wowzers, this just looks like real life.
Kinda surprised this doesn't have an #ad hashtag on it! That last sentence was surely written for him by PR.
Yeah, I'm sure you know better than him how the car actually feels ;P
"There's a difference between driving a simulator and driving the real thing - you have no emotion," Hamilton added.

Damn that looks amazing, I'm itching to check it out but my system is downloading the 3+GB update during my gaming time (i.e. the hour between the baby's bedtime and mine) T_T
Generally I hate microtransactions of any kind, but in this particular case I understand why they have done it. Also mtx aren't affect ingame economy (because it wasn't crafted around them), and you can even hide that button, which is nice touch. I'm ok with that.
Oh sorry. I meant to say its just like the real thing, especially when it's easier to control using a controller than it is with a wheel. High downforce cars don't have progressive steering weight, not at all. He's not saying that just because he's being told to do so, he's saying that from the bottom of his heart because he truly believes it.
Better? :P
Well, if you crash a car like this in real life you're likely to die, whereas you'll be completely safe doing the same thing on a simulator. So, yes, of course the emotion is different, even if the handling and behaviour of the car is 1:1.
I posted this in the OT but I think it's important to note:

Daily races are back to weekly races. No middle ground.

The microtransactions are fine - there are no lootboxes, they aren't increasing the grind to incentivise them, they're not locking anything behind them. Microtransactions like these are good.
But this is just stupid, stupid, stupid. No one asked for this.
They want to do GaaS but their communication is completely broken. They're not telling us what feedback they're taking into account, what goal they're striving for, and why they're making whatever changes. They seriously need to fix this.

That is bad for me but they probably have more data than us... I guess gamers that only play few days a week (weekends only for example) are losing a lot of events.
But they could maintain the daily events and create a new weekly event... so people that only play one day per week can compete with everybody else.
Are you guys really comparing this to what EA and Ubi is doing? Really?
I'm not very fond of microtransactions either, but in this case I have to admit it's one of the least intrusive implementations I've seen.
You can only buy cars < 2.000.000 credits with money and there is an option in the settings to turn off the "shop for real money" button in the UI.
GTS dragged me out of my gaming rut. The feeling of accomplishment for getting better and achieving gold stars on all the challenges are my Bnb. I have a wheel and a study anchor and all my family loves this game. Best part, I haven't even went online yet. I'm going to 100% campaign and GT league first and then take my scared butt online!
Soooo good....keep the updates coming. Production cars and tracks please. More fantasy beauty's...

If sales slow down enough then why not? Second revenue-cycle (through real money as an alternative option for aquiring cars).
It's the Clash Royale model exactly, pay to save time (but not to win).
The top cars beyond 2 million credits are also excluded from this system.
Seems like the F1 car can't be customized in the livery editor.
Not shocked at all, probably all due to sponsorship. Even in the F1 games, crash details are shit because sponsors dont want to see their logos smashed up in a video game.
I saw the cars costing $1, is that the highest they go? That doesn't seem like a model to support F2P.
New track is superb! Very wide and many different possibilities for how you take a corner and that translates to great racing. Dirty drivers hate this track!
Sales don't matter nearly as much as ARPU
I believe that the Mercedes F1 car has a very big bug right now.
Under heavy breaking on the downshifts the car applies for a moment full throttle.
It is very difficult to drive it especially on slow corners.
For sure they have to patch it.
There maybe a glitch with rev matching to the throttle. Causes the rear to be unstable. Not 100% clear yet but there'll be a patch if needed.
