EA's Need for Speed: No Limits has petrol as an in-app-purchase

what a ridiculous way to get money. This is basically a timer that lets u play for a bit and then either pay money to play more or wait, hidden as buying gas instead of just a literal timer. What a joke.

It would be neater if they had implemented MPG and tank size, but it looks like a "full tank" lets you race and there's not any mechanics besides that. Boring.

As much as I hate EA and this sort of business practice, we have to accept that gamers are mostly to blame for companies getting away with this sort of thing. Even with something as absurd and anti-consumer as this there will still be hundreds of thousands of people playing and paying to play.

The game is only simulating real life!

Sounds just like every other f2p title out there where they try to get you hooked and then pay to keep on playing like an addict

LOL what a joke

Totally agree. Actually if memory serves me rightly, does Forza 4 do something like that on the higher levels - basically so you can't just drive like a lead-footed idiot and expect to get away with it.

I wish EA would just implode
