    Default I hate microtransactions

    Come on. It's bad enough to price a WiiWare game at 1500 points. Now they're telling me it's going to be that gimped if you don't pay even MORE for the missing content? FFCC:MLaaC just moved even lower on my list, from a "do not buy" to a "screw that to hell."

    I agree. I have no intention of paying for an incomplete game, or dishing out tons and tons of cash/points/whatever to get the full version. FFCC wasn't that popular to begin with. Doing things like this is not going to make things better.
    My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.

    He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.

    Does this game feature heavy cooperative or competetive play with others online? If not, I think that the cost of having to purchase more races will cost the company a loss in potential sales rather than having all content available for a static fee.
    I believe in the power of humanity.

    Ugh! It's folk like me who can't even access the online world of Wii to begin with.

    Gosh, I was so looking forward to this .__.

    It's just a sims game, so no multiplayer.
