There was a full monetization plan in motion for FM7 (and presumably FH4) and the only reason T10 backed off on it was because FM7 was a huge commercial flop that made FM almost irrelevant compared to FH
Post proof, because like the few times you've harped on this issue, you've shown absolutely **** all in this being the case. But knowing you, you'll ignore it because it goes against the point that you want to make that Forza is Bad compared to PD's own actions with the GT series for close to a decade.
Criticize PD all you want, but every paid DLC in recent games was completely new content.
Polyphony is also the same developer who locked an increase in the credit cap behind an otherwise worthless time trials DLC when 99% of developers would have put that same feature into a patch update, and who also instituted micro-transactions after more or less saying they wouldn't add them, years after the game released when the impact would have been felt only by the people who still stuck with an effectively competitive online game. They're also the same developer who instituted micro-transactions into the base game's release more or less after good reviews were guaranteed, making it so that the in game economy experience for reviewers was severely different then what you and I experienced.
It's very difficult to understand why some people go out of their way to defend T10 and PG, even omitting information (for what?), when neither studio has been exactly fair when it comes to monetization.
Because unlike Polyphony, who have continued to lie and push the issue (and when there was push back, simply write a pithy letter which was also full of brow beating for the community and greater scrutiny from gaming press, which they have subsequently ignored and are starting to trial balloon going down that road once more) T10 and PG learned their lesson and
have not gone back to it, and show absolutely no desire in returning to it. Unlike you, screaming up and down that they had plans to, and that they are just waiting for people to look the other way and inject it into their games once more.
You aren't slick when it comes to this stuff. Nor does it take away from the salient point that Polyphony has a very clear history when it comes to these sorts of monetization and they show no signs in slowing down, made even more frustrating with jagoffs like you effectively defending them, continually, and trying to pass the buck onto other actors or factors (or in this case, series, because some elements of this forum still operate like we're in 2011 and these sorts of fevered defenses of GT will get them a medal from Papa Kaz) forgetting that Kaz himself has enough power and leeway to do whatever he feels, and whatever he feels is leading to situations like this, where the envelope is pushed, continually, and people play mental gymnastics in order to defend it.
I have to ask you a genuine question and I want a sincere answer: do you ever get tired of being wrong? I don't mean having a different opinion to others, I mean being categorically wrong about something.
You still haven't at all bothered to answer this question, and I'd certainly like you to. You have been a habitual liar with regards to Forza for nearly three and a half years. Every time you have been pushed back on it, either by me (which you promptly called me a fanboy behind my back, not even having the stones to quote me and say that to my face) or by people who actually play the games, or even moderators of this forum, you have ignored it. Every time you have lied about Forza, you also completely ignore the fact that whatever T10 or PG have done, in your mind, that is bad, Polyphony has done worse, and more then anything else, have completely ignored rightful criticism they have received. T10 and PG ****ed up,
once, and promptly learned their lesson, and haven't returned to it at all. Polyphony has gotten away with micro-transactions for three straight games, and when shown with this proof, you ignore it and continue to harp on about how Forza did it worse, when from literally anyone with half a brain can see that Polyphony is continually pushing the envelope, and even with push back from the community, they themselves feign ignorance and wait until the heat dies down, before trying again.
Frankly, I'm going to continue needling you when it comes to this stuff until I get an answer. Because lying about one series, when the other series has done it much worse (and for much longer!) and ignoring any and all calls to iterate and show proof about the other's evil intentions shows that you're simply a punk who wants to make it seem like he's a smart fan who lays blame onto all, when anyone who's read your posts about any other series other then GT (and even then!) can very easily see what you are.
