True that, @Mike458.

Initially I got the impression that Gameloft were trying to push all their existing players towards Asphalt Xtreme and Asphalt 9, and they stopped giving a damn about Asphalt 8.

It's all about money now, even at the cost of actual gameplay. For starters, Season Tickets pretty much limit your play time a huge amount, and since they've gone and broken the online feature itself, it almost makes me wonder why it's even worth playing anymore.

If that's how the new game is going to look, then it will be dead on arrival. Unless they are straight with the players and say outright that it will be a Pay to Play game, but I doubt that will happen ...
