The game is not going to change by waiting, the game is not going to change by complaining, and its certainly not going to change by complainging about it on this wiki since a very very small % of the total poplulation that plays asphlat come here. Also you can't ostracize asphalt the same way as a triple A game like GTA5 is because asphalt is free mobile game, it costs nothing to download, whereas a game like gta has a upfront cost. Every buisness's main goal is to make money, and guess what? so is gameloft's, accusing them of being greedy is nonsense. For example if you look on steam, recently GTA5 has been flooded with negative reviews because of Rockstar/Take-Two's stance agains't modding, the negative reviews make a difference for that game because people will often look at the reviews before spending money, this will not work with ashpalt since downloading asphalt costs nothing, gameloft will not care about negative reviews, because there will still be people who download it.

Complaining about microtransactions is a lost cause, Every single free mobile game will have Ads and/or Microtransactions, this is not gamelofts fault, this is just the landscape of the mobile game market, this is the status quo and has been proven as the most profitable method. The difference between asphalt many many other games is that Asphalt is not pay to win, you can get everything in the game for free. Would you make a game for free to get nothing out of it? unless you just enjoy coding and making games as a hobby the answer is probably no. If you watch some youtube personalites like Elite Hectorx and Rev_tez they have 50k+ tokens and haven't spent any (or very little) money to attain that. Personally i have ~32k and have won most of the event cars and actually haven't touched them in weeks because most of them are useless, but i still do them because thats what i enjoy in the game, do i ever buy anything with real money? No. Every 3-4 weeks or so i will use a double credits and farm while i catch up on some tv shows. The people who spend time and effort to get good at the game, get rewarded, more than the people who don't, this is 99.99% of all games mobile or otherwise.

If you don't enjoy the game, if you don't find any fun, if don't like the way gameloft is making the game, uninstall,get your friends to uninstall, go play asphalt 7. This is the only way you can get your opinion heard.Gameloft will see their numbers go down and realise they have to do something different.complaining isn't going to do anything, because the majority of the poeple don't care anough to complain, giving negative reviews isn't going to do anything, because asphalt is free and people will still install it, not buying the optional microtransactions is not going to do anything because there a still people who will buy them. No game is going to be catered specifically to what, and calling gameloft greedy for not making every car easy to get is hypocritical, since that makes you greedy for not being willing to work for it, and if you don't like that uninstall.Playing the game and finding so many flaws with it and not liking it is just pennance.

Im not saying i like the way asphalt is/and is going, but im not saying i don't like it either. im just telling you the way it is.
