I am thinking that you have received a great load of research in to the idea of 1 year sales pitches and 3 year sales pitches. Then product ends then rent again. With most ideas the idea of getting updates is nice, but the end product is still the same.
I asked a few friends have they heard of Trackmania, most have said, No. We are still a niche community. We had a huge player activity at the start of the game.(Trackmania United Forever and before this the servers where soooooo full((Then the UBI and Nadeo split))Freezone and people started to leave. Preparation for the Canyon Game. Great game. The DLC - Stadium and the rest even better.
Trackmania has had a few updates. Track parts(Nadeos Idea and was a nice change. But they made mods and design programs within the game made this possible for others.)
A lot of fixing down to coding issues (This is Free updating and rightly so.)
GFX improvements(Well it was released as direct x10((The swearing starts by the staff) And looks delightful now.)). Many more little things added to ManiaPlanet was to me a nice idea putting all Nadeo games in the selected boxes (No Turbo but that's another issue) and I'm thinking they might put it in as they will need what's left of the community to play. I hope they know something I don't like people are so gullible and will pay for anything.
I'm not seeing this game work past the certain age gap or maybe a wealthy few gamers paying for those faster players. To enter there team for the CLUB which it now seems to me.
If Trackmania 2 ends with the 4 styles of cars. Then I will be there until they shut down the servers. I have a love for this game but not for buying it again and again. There would be no real improvement and I feel I would only be paying for the CLUB players doing the competitions. I would buy new car styles in Trackmania 2- any time as a one off payment.
I am hoping this was an April fools day prank and was pasted from another post. I had fun writing this sad essay. My subscription is in my message box for a life time of play.
