No, you “missed his meaning” because apparently you are just looking for some way to shoehorn some more barely-English babble about people not paying for things into the thread for some reason. Whether or not he wants “other people to pay for his tracks” has zero relevance to what I asked, so I didn’t miss anything. He specifically mentioned a price increase, and I was asking for clarification on whether that price raise would be applied to the car pack that would come out in the same month as the track pack, or to all DLCs.
As for whether or not tracks should be free… Well there is enough reason for them to be free, including reasons that were discussed by Turn 10 post-FM4 that trigged the FM5 free tracks. Anyone with some reasoning ability and that interacts with the community enough can see that the FM6 method of paywalling them behind a $20 pack didn’t work out great for the community. They locked the tracks behind car packs that only niche groups were interested in meaning that people have to pay for crap they aren’t interested in just to get the tracks. The fact that they were paywalled meant that they didn’t get put into “normal” use so even the people who did pay for them couldn’t get their money’s worth out of them unless they played private lobbies/free play a lot, and the hoppers where they did place them had very limited car selection and were dead within weeks of launch so even the people who payed for them couldn’t use them there either. Who wins in that situation? Only Turn 10 I guess, as some people did spend money on the stuff they didn’t care about just to get to the tracks.
Ok only once for one game has Forza released free Tracks that was Forza 5 just about every other time it has been a car and track release, that is Cars and tracks in the expansion pack. I can just about garantee ther will not be a track only Pack but a combined pack. The price of the car packs has all ready been set for the first 6 packs. is that plain enough for you. So will ther be a price increase for the first 6 monthl Packs no there will not be.
The only thing that may differ is if they release more than 6 monthly car packs the price of Packs 7,8, and 9 may be cheaper or cost more. Also why are people under the impression that ther is going to be a track only pack it has never happened has all ways been cars and tracks. all except for the free tracks added as a patch in Forza 5.
I know the prices are set for the car packs that are in the pass, and nowhere did I say I thought they would be changing. I was just asking for clarification on what he was suggesting so that it could be discussed… seeing as this is a discussion forum.
Please work on your reading comprehension before you start trying to correct people and adding comments like “is that plain enough for you” and such. Unless English isn’t your first language anyway, then you aren’t doing too bad I guess.
Apparently you haven’t been playing Forza games long enough to know that they have.
FM2 and FM3 both had separate track packs. FM2 had 2 track packs (Road America and Motegi), and FM3 had Nurburgring GP. If I remember right they were $5 worth of MS Points in FM2 and $10 worth for the Nurburgring GP in FM3, which was where the community got very divided on it.
A lot of games have this problem with DLC where purchased play areas (Such as map packs) become vacant quickly due to not enough playing them and everyone just goes back to vanilla. Makes it hard to justify even buying them in the first place. It’s a tricky problem because the devs do deserve to get paid for their work, and the customer’s deserve to play on something they’ve bought without everyone else just getting it for free. The one thing about this game and tracks though is the advertisements on them…you’d think that they could make enough money off them by just offering to put a companies ads on them.
That could work. It’s common for shops to raise prices on one thing to lower prices on another.
Free tracks but with a price increase on car packs is a fair option. But it comes down to whether they get enough sales on the car packs to take that risk as they may lose some sales with a high price tag.
