It's beyond me how this backlash could not have been foreseen, even though the upset is by a vocal minority, think of what the unvocal majority would say.
It seems like RL are thinking with their wallets and not there heart & brains.
Even if 20M players would be in this game and actively participating - they made one singular fatal error - it's F2P game and they're thinking only in wallet terms... once the big picture is seen here. I did spent a certain, not small, amount of money to show my token of appreciation and to get the stuff you can't get any other ways...
Now...
I spent like 20 bucks (back in time, full retail price) so to play Quake2 and that was it... I played that game for almost 10 years, on line, without spending a dime but I was having more gaming experience and much much less bittersweet taste after all that time, and a year of playing this one gave me nothing similar to that. While I was into Trials HD, I had some mediocre and fine results - revolving around 200-300 on GLB, but I left and time stomped my scores. I spent like 30 EUR on that and it was quite better experience then this one. Multiplayer... for my rank, I was inspired to learn, beat the others and still I enjoyed the game. Here... I'm occasionally playing PVP, for fun and some chips, but I won't battle for the legends rank as I learned I don't need it, nor it's adding to my rider portfolio anywhere.
This is a simple comparison and nothing more, so yes... they're not thinking much of our experience and long term impact, they're grasping the moment.
