Payback, Spend Real Cash For Goodies or I.G.C.?

Payback has many goodies you can buy with real cash, Do you like this option or wish the whole game was I.G.C. instead? 

Please respond in your own words to make clear to all what works best for your style of game play?

    If it is an 18+ age game I would be less against this, but real cash for digital stuff should be banned in games for under 18"s.But wait I don't think there are any over 18 games anymore ???? Films are the same, only childish garbage is being made for the easy to get money out of,,,,everything is being dumbed down for the endless targetting of the young by greedy companies today, And dont get me started on music and fashon.

    As a parent you would not want a man to pop into the room with your kids everytime you left to do something. This man tells your kids without you knowing that they can download these goodies for only 1 dollar. The advertising in the game is speaking to your kids telling them that it is only 1 dollar it does not matter, " buy this,,,shhhhh dont tell mum and dad it is our little secret". Mum and dad only find out after the company sends them a bill for 600 dollars for upgrade ingame digital guns, cars, etc.

    They are teaching kids nowadays that getting into debt is normal, fun etc.Losing is bad,,,you have to upgrade to be a winner or your friends will laugh at you.

    @BVBgamer88 

    Your right EA and other game companies have milked these racing games to death! 

    The Cash Cow EA has incorporated is a  shameless  love/hate relationship with the fans.

    The old NFS series was most fun back in the 1990's and early 2000's. 

    Now EA just rolls out garbage and yet promise the fan base and new fans the next game is Golden!  LOL

    Sadly, the game is far from golden, but is definitely golden for EA ripping the fans off at the prices they charge us to buy there junk!

    If EA could't insult us enough they then add microtransactions in the game to beg for more cash and hold us hostage to our game! 

    I believe the gaming industry executives need to be locked up for failing to follow good business practices! 

    Apparently the Federal government agrees with people like us getting ripped off with Microtransactions in there games!

    Have a great day & thank you for adding commentary to my thread.

  • No problem mate, yeah its so sad too se todays gamingindustry . With those big AAA companies, they dont care if the game has lots of bugs and glitches. Plus dont forget those expensive DLCs, just take Dovetail games that produces the Train sim series. Its expensive as hell. But if you look at the indie genre, they make games cheap with awsome graffic. But yeah lets hope EA get punished for the stupid FUT lootcrates in Fifa.
