Not to mention Special Edition cars being so ridiculously OP that races can be won without any effort, and it puts even the most powerful S-class vehicles with full upgrades to shame. It seems all GameLoft cares about is money, they no longer cater to us fans.

And Asphalt 9 will be shortly forgotten afterwards. IIRC, their sequel has less traffic despite positive reviews (which is obviously false). It's pretty much gonna follow suit when Asphalt 8 is permanently discontinued due to shady microtransactions that makes unlocking vehicles impossible without cheats/hacks.
