Cross posting my thoughts
People on the internet shouldn't complain about monetization because devs are only doing it to cover the cost of making the game. Anyone still want to float that?
There's still no need to have loot boxes in this game, and VIP costs above and beyond the $60 to give you an advantage over "peasant" buyers of the game. This is probably the best result you'll get out of Forza 7 though. Watch lots of people praise Turn 10 now calling them a dev that listens. In reality, welcome to PR risk management. This won't have been done because they care, but because the internet is igniting and reviews on Metacritic are starting to suffer a little. It's the same result as Blizzard removing the Diablo 3 AH or Bethesdas first removal of paid for mods.
They all want to do it again, and just find ways to reintroduce things with less gamer anger.
