This has nothing to do with the fleet, sto or sci fi in general but i just had to share it.

In the new Need For Speed: No Limits game, EA are charging you for petrol.

Article says the gas tank fills up over time, or you can pay to skip the wait.



At least this is a free mobile game, so this kind of thing is pretty typical. That's not to say EA hasn't been shoving stuff like this into games they charge $60 up front for, though.

Sadly, that's what all those games do on the mobile platform. I've played a few racing games on my tablets and it's all time gated like that. Oh well... The Canadian Devil strikes again!
