    "Industry standards" mean that it's a proven method. F2P works. That's all there is to it

    You can argue that this is all just my opinion but the fact remains that this is how the industry works. That won't change no matter what you think of what I say.
    Here's how it's comparable: we are hardcore trials fans- making a plea as did the xbox fans...hence this petition- due to the fact that we feel wronged for such a decision. You should understand if you're a true fan. Im done

    As much as you try to undermine the value of my opinion, that is still not comparable. It's not even remotely the same.

    If I could buy this with one payment only I would, as it stands, I will not buy this ever which surely must mean that RL will not make as much money as im sure there are many with my opinion?
    I like Jamaican's idea of keeping it f2p but also giving the option to buy outright.

    The so-called "whales" (people who spend enormous amounts of money on f2p titles) more than make up for the people who do not wish to spend anything. This is more profitable in the long run.

    Re: Trials Frontier- Unlimited Gas Petition

    The gas system is ok imo... Just should use the restart option more often!!


    This is my petition:

    Just one gas can to play any track, doesn't matter if its a Tier I or Tier III track...

    Personal opinion is that there are too many things involved on the gameplay... gas cans, gems, coins, those bike parts for upgrade, upgrade waiting time <<< really??? )

    I do think that the best option is delete the gems and let only coins as unique way for upgrade, gas, bike parts, upgrade "waiting" time, etc...

    Probably next weekend I will make a review.

    F2P is the more profitable model and having a "pay once, play forever" version would seriously hurt sales. It matters not if you're "hardcore" or an "enthusiast", these games are meant to be played in bursts and it's silly to demand developers to change that.

    The targeted audience is "casual". If you feel you're not happy about the game, no one is forcing you to play it. You're not "missing out on a Trials game" since we already established that you're not satisfied and therefore should not play the game.

    unfortunately that indeed is how it is^^

    No. The consumer does not have a choice of how long they want to play a game for, unless of course they choose to keep paying and paying money which is the inherent problem here.

    No cause is lost (or "silly") if there is but one fool left to fight for it. Games are meant to be played the way the consumer wants to play them, whether in bursts or in long sessions. This business model forces the consumer to keep paying more than usual for this privilege and that is why an enthusiast would complain. The truly silly thing to do would be to NOT complain about something you do not like.

    1. I WISH to play this Trials game to my satisfaction
    2. I WON'T be able to do so because of its business model
    3. Therefore, I WILL be "missing out on a trials game"
    -If we lived in a world where we gave up on things because we are not satisfied with them then we'd be living in a terrible world indeed.

    The OP has a right to ask for an option to buy a full version of the game ONCE. My ideal solution would be to include it as an exclusive bundle with trials fusion(with both games' prices included), thereby not affecting the casual F2P market while simultaneously rewarding the trials fans who want frontier as well.

    Re: Trials Frontier- Unlimited Gas Petition

    As cool as this game is, I refuse to sit here and play the game for like 20 minutes then have to wait hours until my fuel is refilled. Makes me just not want to play at all. It's a shame because it's a nice addition to the Trials franchise but I am not going to pay money every time I want to play more than 5 tracks.
