How can Developers think this is okay to do?

You should probably be blaming the publishing side of things rather than the developing side.

I can see why they did it though, they only have to sell one game to be profitable.

I don't really have a problem with the business model, but I really have a problem with the pricing ...

Based on the cost of most games, $10 should buy you about 10% to 20% of the content that is delivered in a full retail game. If they were charging $10 for 3 tracks and 5 cars I could see the appeal, but $5 per track and $3 per car is outrageous.

I like the principal, and I love seeing publishers breaking away from the old distribution models, but that seems like awfully little content at that price...


IF the game was sold for 10-20$ at start then such pricing and DLC scheme could be justified and interesting experiment.

With almost full game price it's only rip-off :(

That's very little content for a lot of money...I hope this fails.

Don't forget about the music... at $1.29 they are more expensive than iTunes and Amazon for a song... xD

if they want to have similar to IOS sales, then they should sell it 0.99 - 4.99 Max! ,
