User blog:Jskylinegtr/Revealing my true fandom after A8 retirement

I have totally quit Asphalt 8 and given up on the game due to the aggresive monetization this game has had since Vivendi's hostile takeover of Gameloft.

Reasons why i quit A8 for DIVAS Fans

 * Extremely nerfed rewards. This was first worsened in the Fast Lane Update/FLU by removing Mastery farming/nerfing Mastery Rewards. Then the 2019 Spring Update worsened the rewards by nerfing Career payouts and Moto Blitz to only reward Biker Kits. Now, Research & Development now nerfed the rewards and only rewards Tokens through Ultimate AIs.
 * Conversion of many credit cars to token-only purchases, or even worse, increasing Token Car prices.
 * This was worsened when the Ferrari LaFerrari and Ford F-150 became.
 * Expensive upgrade prices, or worse, token only upgrades.
 * Extreme Pro Kit requirements. This only got worse in the FLU, as existing cars' Pro Kit requirements were increased.
 * Extreme R&D requirements, from Proto Keys, making players wake up every 3 hours just to race the R&Ds.
 * Even worse above, you are now forced to upgrade R&D cars to MAX+Pro even if you can win at a lower tune, bad move Vivendi/Gameloft.
 * Reduction of Free Upgrade sources, first was R&Ds no longer give free upgrades, and next, the FLU changed Mastery Rewards.
