The R&D for the 3.0 CSL is another obvious sign of Gameloft's greed for quick profit. FFS the car has '''tokens only upgrades. '''While the 4C & ED also had token prices for upgrades, you could still pay with credits. At this point, R&D has changed its purpose from being a way to get tokens car for "free" to being a blatant cash grab. I was looking forward to the 3.0 CSL being an alternative to the 2016 Camaro but all I'm getting is "we don't give a f**k about you staying with A8 for the past 2 years, now give us your bank account or get ready to lose even more in MP.

The next R&D car planned is the Mosler Super GT. I wouldn't be surprised if that car charged tokens for everything, even for changing the car's colour

Have a look at these 3 videos on how broken Gameloft's F2P structure is.

1) How bad monetization is harmful to a F2P game

2) How high in-game costs are deterring players

3) How microtransactions can make or break a game
