I disagree. I enjoy the driving very much, I just don't enjoy that I have to invest time to earn $12.500.000 (in GT5) to drive an F10. I get why I don't get those cars for free in career and online mode, and that's fine. What I don't get is why I don't get them for free in arcade mode, if all I want is to just try them, precisely because I enjoy the driving mechanics in the game the most, and not the career.

As I said, I can earn the money by driving my favorite car on my favorite track, but if my time budget only allows for 2 hours per week of gaming, all I can realistically do to get this car is to make a grinding session on a free day using the most efficient grinding track/car combination. And that's no fun.

And now with micro-transactions, Polyphony won't change that situation. Why should they? Monetizing on people like me is better for them.
