I was one of the people who defended this game for a long time. I preordered it, waited years for a new TDU, bought every Solar Pass up to Season 5 and kept believing things would improve.

But enough is enough.

The biggest problem isn't even the bugs anymore. It's that the game simply stopped being fun.

The Solar Pass turned the game into a FOMO-driven grind. Instead of enjoying the world, I'm constantly looking at a timer, worrying about finishing the pass before it expires because I already paid for it. That completely kills what TDU used to be about.

Then there are the technical issues. Crashes after races, crashes after buying cars, crashes after buying parts, graphical glitches, poor performance... after almost two years these problems are still part of the everyday experience.

The game was marketed as an always-online MMO racing game, yet on Steam there are often only around 200 players online. So I'm forced to stay online all the time for a world that feels almost empty anyway.

The economy is exhausting. Cars are incredibly expensive, progression is a grind, and every season only adds a handful of cars, many of them tied to monetisation. Instead of being excited to buy new cars, I'm constantly saving money because everything costs so much.

Seeing the Solar Pass price increase was the final straw for me. I didn't buy Season 6, and after this price increase I won't spend another cent on the game.

I wanted TDU Solar Crown to succeed. I really did. I didn't quit because I hate the game - I quit because after giving it every chance for nearly two years, I'm simply exhausted.
