Great, now I know what awaits games like GT7 and FM8. What’s the point of buying these games then?

Honestly they can just go ahead and turn off FM8. What a piece of shit that game is. It's so bad. Like how can you literally fuck up a slam dunk that badly? They could have issued a slightly reskinned and updated FM7, and it would have been fine. But no.
GT2 and FM2 (and FM4 I guess too) for the forever win!
There really needs to be more lawsuits for this type of thing. You bought something and they didn't make it clear that you were renting it. I get the server stuff but you know what? After you are done with the game it's time to allow the community to host servers or at least remove DRM for offline play.
Glad I picked up Assetto Corsa instead. That sim is 11 years old and has amazing graphics, a thriving community, and isn't "always online"... GTS is only 6 years old in comparison.
I think GTS and FMS are going to eventually be a struggle to sell once people catch on to the fact that these franchises are being turned into very expensive recurring game subscriptions, which is a shame given how much these types of games have been decreasing in popularity since the peak of the early 2000s
