Driveclub features campaign shortcut microtransactions
Rustchynsky assures that vehicle microtransactions will be limited to cars that players can unlock during the course of the game's campaign. Microtransactions only serve as a shortcut to Driveclub's unlockable content, and Rustchynsky describes campaign progression as "really straightforward, really simple and [allowing] access to a lot of content really quickly."
"In Driveclub you earn Fame, and as you earn Fame, you level up," Rustchynsky explained. "Every time you level up, we give you another car. There's no double gating or anything along those lines, you're given the car straight away without having to do anything else. The only thing we do have is a couple of shortcuts."
Rustchynsky continued: "If you want to unlock a car immediately, you can pay to unlock that car straight away but it's not a consumable microtransaction. We don't let people buy Fame, for example and spend lots and lots. The idea is if you want to shortcut things you can do -- it's identical to what we did in Motorstorm RC. So if you played that, you know what we're doing here."
Driveclub will launch on October 7 at retail and as a free PlayStation Plus download.

I personally think this is really stupid. It ruins the whole experience of the game. I understanding being able to buy extra cars but to be able to skip the main part of a game just to buy it seems very cheap. I wonder how many people will actually will buy this because I don't know too many people who will buy something they could get for free really easy.

TwiiitchyMaggardo I think it's pretty stupid, that you would pay money to get farther in the campaign of a game.
I don't because it is just add ons to the end of the campaign. I think your profile pictures is pretty stupid imo. Why would you make it a picture of an ugly **** kid?
OOOOOOOOO, harsh words here.
I love car games so i would like to play this tbh

Martin_Luther_Ping Nice! This is great! I hate getting a new game and having to play it. I'd much rather skip the playing part.
Isn't that the point on buying games? To play them.
