As long as it doesn't affect the model through which you unlock stuff, it doesn't bother me. I don't like the model however.

I remember when we used to have cheat codes.

question is, can you earn 20mil credits in a reasonable amount of time?

Like maybe 2-3 weeks gameplay 2hours avg each day?

This is BS. Complete BS. Maybe right now it may not seem so bad with developers claiming that the microtransactions are just optional for those who don't want to grind, but what's going to stop them from slowly and steadily making the grinding process for those who don't want to pay extra money incredibly long and tedious, as seen in Free to Play games. We all know how devs and pubs like to abuse their powers.

I never really understood what the point of buying the ending to your game is. That's like paying money to beat the game, which makes no sense. Why play the game in the first place? For Free to play, the game is free so it can be understandable but for full priced game...no...just no.

Are you really sorry to hear that?

Unfortunately that doesn't really work either.  If credits were dirt cheap than the exclusivity of the cars would be completely undermined.  You can either take the time, do the grind, and get the top cars, or pay a pretty hefty price tag.

Like many have said, as long as the progression system hasn't been tampered with to encourage these microtransactions, than there is nothing wrong here.

I agree that earning the credits to unlock should not be unreasonably long and tedious.

I disagree that devs and pubs will abuse their powers. The consumer is stronger and we showed it to MS who tried to pull such crap. We are the end-user they have to please. Without us, there is no them and not the other way round.

I also disagree that people are buying the ending. That's quite a hyperbole which is popular on the internet. Microtransactions allow you to quickly access content that the individual may not have the time to play for. Some of us are married, with jobs, with kids etc etc. Those people are willing to put money to get the content quick and that is their individual choice which makes sense for their context. As long as microtransactions do not unbalance online multiplayer, they're fine. Because one player's single player experience doesn't affect the other guy's.

People are acting like its pay to unlock...witch its not its pay to unlock faster

its still the same exact game, nothing is behind any paywall

I mostly expect this game to behave like GT5 in every way related to this transactions.

You can in GT5 in a couple of hours. 5 day login bonus, half a million credits per seasonal event, for example just doing 1 lap around the nurburgring. Sarthe is even quicker: over half a million credits in 3 and a half minutes. Or you can let B-Spec do it for you while you watch tv.
