I personally find it a bit amusing. It's like a get one, pay for two deal.
Not sure why so many of you get angry because of what could just be a mistake. From the mood in this thread you'd think that MS just announced that the Xbone shell consists of kitten skulls.

The existence of a system like this creates a powerful incentive for the developer to "encourage" players to buy them, even if not necessary. It lines up some bad incentives for game design. Not saying they have to, but the developer (and the suits who pay that developer's salary) also needs to show self discipline. This is one step on the slope.

This kind of reminds me of Super and Max Repels in Pokemon lol.

Must be a mistake... it flies in the face of logic.

Then again I think some supermarkets have been called out before for "offers" they put on products only to find buying seperately is cheaper.

I should have brought some popcorn to this. Darn.

Let the destruction of the sanctity of gaming commence. Nickel and Diming has gone Super Saiyan.

QFT. If gamers growing up thinking this is the way to game, the seeds have already been planted.

Maybe some people should read Eurogamers review..

Forza Motorsport 5 suffers from a diminished amount of content. It's not the car list that's the problem. The 200-plus offering may only be over half of what Forza 4 had to offer........... It's the track list, though, that falls short.

So little is spread out so thin across a career that doesn't make much of an effort to engage. 

All that's left is the grind, and it's not a particularly pleasant one. Unlike previous outings, cars don't unlock upon levelling up. Everything must be bought in Forza Motorsport 5, and all transactions take place in a slightly misshapen economy. A series will, on average, net the player in excess of 110,000 credits for just under an hour's effort - but with some of the premium racecars costing well over a million, it's a somewhat brutal grind.

Good job, then, that there are tokens purchasable on the Xbox One's marketplace for you to attain the car you're after, or to temporarily boost the rate at which you gain XP. When you've already paid £429.99 for a new console, £44.99 for the game and maybe even £349.99 for the only steering wheel that the game supports at launch, such tricks appear a little unsavoury, and in Forza 5, mechanics greedily smuggled from free-to-play games trample over the elegant RPG elements the series once embraced so effectively.

So basically people saying it doesn't affect you are bullshitting, the game design has clearly changed to make grinding less preferable and microtransactions more so in a $60 game. This is bullshit the prices are obviously ridiculous as well calling the worst value pack "Good value" is all sorts of anti-consumer. 

Pitchforks can be put down: Hi all, just wanted to quickly clarify the situation.

The pricing displayed for Token Packs in Forza Motorsport 5 is incorrect. As a result, transactions are not paying out the correct number of tokens. We are resolving this issue immediately and expect players to see the correct pricing structure and accurate token values later today. Any player that has purchased one of these packs will be credited the appropriate amount of tokens when the issue has been resolved.

See.  Pointing out these errors do lead to consumer service rather than hiding it under the guise of "if you don't like it then don't buy it."  Please do not insult the intelligence of gamers
