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.

Hold on, Seriously? is this just a timegate thing or will you need to buy it no matter what?

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!
