“Latest update (1.0.6): Introduction of the new VIP Pass This is nothing more and nothing less than a pay-to-win mechanism. after 162h, Game uninstalled”
“"Premium Ride" achievement is locked behind a pay wall. (£9.09) No offline progression. Having to dismantle everything individually. "Connection Lost" "Reconnecting" on a "offline" idle game is ridiculous.”
