Oh yes, this other issue about YouTube channels. I'm hearing about users who have been banned for sharing video reviews on the performance of certain cars, especially newly released ones. Showing us that some of those cars aren't what they're hyped up to be. That's the thing, Gameloft survives on hype, selling each new car as a must-have (of course) but outright banning players who expose the flaws in some of these cars.

If anything, these users were in fact helping Gameloft advertize unreleased cars, and you'd think for a company that wants money and penny-pinches like Mr Krabs, they'd like the free advertizing (isn't that why they have a channel in the first place?)

But then, we have to consider this other possibility - control of content. They want us to only see this content at its best and only be saddled with the horrible truth after we have paid for it in some way, Tokens or otherwise, and they seek to eliminate those users who expose this. It's led to quite a few people leaving the game as a result.

No doubt about it, some of these cars are or will be massively over-priced and have ridiculous stats, I mean looking at the Devel 16, the handling stat alone looks pretty terrible, but I bet it will cost a phenomenal amount to buy, MAX and PRO when it's released.

The videos on their official channel don't really emphasize player ability unless you look for it, and again with how the Sbarro Alcador's bad drifing stat is not shown, they're hiding the flaws right there. They lure players into getting the cars and learning the hard way, and if they're Tokens cars, then they're screwing the players big time.

Also, no worries, I like some humor every now and then, but with how Gameloft's logic with cars and rankings is, who knows? I wouldn't be surprise either!
