Mike458: Stop lying. Asphalt 7 was a payware and even it had microtransactions to buy not only money, but also experience points/stars. You just don't notice it. (I never played A7, but I watched videos of it and found menus to add money/stars.) Also based on your posting patterns on other forums, it appears that you wanted to live in a world where freemium model never exists at all. Unfortunately, that's the trend of mobile gaming today.
