It's quite obvious to me. How are you gonna see the players driving the DLC cars, if the content is not on your machine? This isn't an add-on or expansion, which requires all users to purchase it to access (like Battlefield 2142).
Sure, I get that. But why are there cars I can't jack, races I can't race and statistics I can't improve, but yet I am reminded of those facts many, many times during gameplay? I do not play multiplayer so I don't really care for other players cars. The game should recognize that I don't have those packs and not show those items ingame(single-player). If/when I would join a multiplayer game then I would not mind it. I don't mind the races and cars are on my machine, I do mind being constantly reminded about unusable features.
Listen, I love DLC's and addons for games. I think it's great that I can enjoy a game a little while longer for a small fee. These packs will add up to almost what I initially paid for the game in the first place. That I am also fine with, because you can choose to buy only one at a time.
My problem is the fact that these packs now represent 1/10th of the full game and yet I cannot choose whether I want this content to be a part of my game or not. It just is.
If I could remove the update and stay offline, I would. But even this I cannot do.
