They just took the XRT out of demo for business purposes
The devs, that aren't that stupid, saw that the XRT was very demanded on the market. Here comes a simple economic rule :
- There were 2 products offering the XRT : Lfs demo and Lfs S2.
- The demo had XRT so the offer/demand price for having it was 0, cheaper than paying 24£ to have S2.
- They saw a lot and a lot of drifter fans played the demo to have the XRT.
- They removed the XRT from demo, so the people who wanted to play with it only had the choice of buying S2.
- There were a lot of XRT demo users (mainly for drift purposes
) so, because the offer price was 0, the demand was infinite, and none of them (considering only the car, not the tracks available --> ceteris paribus option on) did go the to buy the S2 (or S1).
- So, by the removing of the choice, the devs had defined the price to drive the XRT to the same price as S2. Hence, since the offer price is higher, there will be less demand, but the devs are still winners here following the simple equation :
Infinite*0£ = 0 < "less than infinite"*24£
Demoers, this means one thing to you : BUY S2 ! You loved your XRT right ? Loved to hear the turbo spooling and hitting the rev limiter while sliding hard a burning sum' smok' ya ? So BUY S2 ! And you'll be able to slide your XRT to everywhere in the LFSWorld, impressing the aristocratic girls in South City with your long... slides. Or just burn up some weed at the wheel of the twisty road of the Fern Bay ! You could even paint it how you want !
