So they got busted for being skeevy.
Now they are trying to make up for it.
However they DID try to be REALLY skeevy.

Hahahahaahahahahahahahaha.
Complaint: "$60 should include everything".
Response: "Half price on ALL THE THINGS!".

I believe the actions they mention are all short term solutions to last until the update is ready. So not permanent, but to do while they push through a real permanent update to the game economy, not a sale.

I'm not grinding for 50 hours just to buy one car I want to drive.
Oh yeah, I agree that the immediate fix is trying to sweeten the bitter pill that everyone is complaining about, but I figured that a lot of people missed the temporary part and were raging, so I didn't want to add more fuel to the fire.

No kidding. Had those people waited a week from launch they could have spent half the price. I'd feel totally scammed. Would never want to give Microsoft another dime and that would be if I was a proponent of this kind of thing. It's not like those people are getting refunds.
So now they've officially ticked off people who hate microtransactions and the people who like them. Who's left to piss off?

How can this not get fixed in an instant? People are mad about pricing and being locked out of stuff unless obscene amount of hours is played. Why can't they just permanently price drop everything again?
Sad.
They can change the prices to not be astronomic, as they just did. Since its literally updating a number.
No one is asking for them to change the whole game.
Just highlight a number on a database, and make it not what it is.
Edit: like they are doing. Right now.
No need for excuses.

Turn 10.
I don't usually say this but...
Go fuck yourselves.

You know what. I understand their response. But this is back-peddling. Everyone must remember: they launched with what they BELIEVED was an acceptable economy. In their minds, they shipped a product with these real money transactions they believed were fair and Ok to represent their product.
That to me makes no kind of response OK; I won't be supporting this company ever again. But I guess good on people that will continue to do so.

Oh jeez that kinda makes it just like the Battlefield thing.

that they feel the need to do this says they know damn well there was a problem.
I appreciate the fact that Turn 10 addressing this issue, even in a limited manner, makes those that defended the original model look really stupid

Don't you think it's easier to make a permanent change to a game rather than change it for a day and change it again to how it used to be?
Sounds like you want the Chrono Trigger of Racing Sims.

Lol.
We've heard that you don't like microtransactions, so here's a sale to entice more people into spending money on them.

Makers of a first party XBone game make a tone deaf response to an issue that its customers are very angry about, and the action they're taking doesn't even really address the issue?
Shocking, I say. Simply shocking.

Lol that weekend drop and thats it. Oh boi
I see it more like - "You whiners weren't going to buy any of this shit anyways, so here's a temporary 50% so we can take some money from you and you will SHUT UP so we can continue exploiting future customers."

Shit. Better buy them all while they're half price. Or not.

how about actually removing this feature rather than discounting the tokens. the complaints were about the actual microtransactions being IN the game rather than how much they cost

If more changes are on the horizon, who's silly enough to use in-game currency or real cash for these microtransactions?

I'm assuming you all didn't read the part about dramatically increasing the payouts of races?

I feel its a tacit admission that they fucked up. That's something at least.

Microsoft is over delivering on value once again!!
:bow :bow

Why can't they just scrap the micro-transactions entirely then?
shark sandwich
tenuously links anime, pedophile and incels
I'm glad gamers made a big enough fuss to force this change.
