Hey thanks for your input @Profoundly Quiet!

I've amended that section accordingly. That's one detail I definitely missed.

If Gameloft plays their cards right, they would at least restore all the normal stats and upgrades for every car and bike that came out prior to the Munich Update. They could keep the newer cars as is, although I'm sure a lot of us would prefer not to get them that way.

There's no way this can even be called a 'bug' or 'glitch' or the like. How does the Tokens-only problem spread to existing specific cars in such a way, when they are in no way related to the unreleased cars?

Simple answer : Gameloft's unrelenting greed. They're only calling this a 'bug' because they've been called out on their practices and don't want to be seen as the bad guys.

If the newer cars do end up being released in those configurations, I won't even bother with them. There's no point in using weak cars in MP, especially cars that you can't upgrade to competitive levels because of these restrictions
