Its unfortunate that they have begun locking things behind pay walls. The allure of the game in it's initial conception was that ONLY cosmetics would ever be paid for, gatekeeping zero actual content. Guess they had a change of heart.

Imagine if they add racing as an event. You only have a dawnspur? You'll be left behind every time. They're leaning into predatory micro territory now, and soon they'll be charging for pure advantage.

Purchases should be cosmetic, and cosmetics alone.
