This comment may not be related (if ever), but it's sad that mobile games are now larger than PC and console games combined! See? This is why we can't have nice things!

I am honestly planning to quit A8 sometime down the line. Too many problems now, especially when it has crashed my iPhone twice (the last time being just now after I did some screwing around in GTA Vice City with a modded game and a 100% save file I downloaded from somewhere).

And another problem that mobile racing games share: they more often than not get a monopoly on getting new cars first before the console/PC games do. The Bugatti Chiron appeared in CSR 2; now it's still not yet in ANY PC/console AAA game whatsoever (excluding GTA/NFS/Assetto Corsa mods). Another example of this would include RR3 getting the Ferrari F12tdf mere days before Forza Horizon 3, the game that is supposed to mark the F12tdf's video game debut, was released on September 27, 2016. And then, look at 2017. It has been more than 2 years since the 675LT made its video game debut in A8 and it's still in ZERO console/PC AAA games. ZERO. No, we're not counting GTA/NFS/Assetto Corsa mods here. Honestly, either this needs to stop or this needs to be cut down on by a lot.

I really no longer feel like grinding anymore in this game. I will be okay with binge playing the crap out of Forza Motorsport 7 if I want to get the P1 GTR, Sesto Elemento, 919 Hybrid, etc. in that game, but I am not okay with grinding in A8 anymore. Too endless, not large enough payouts. And NO, I will NOT spend another dime ever again!
