I've seen countless free games on the App Store/Play Store with the exact same thing, it's just we're going to bitch about it now because EA has done it.

 

Here we go, welcome to the internet.

I don't know where you're seeing those prices, unless you're in another country.

 

EDIT: Before someone says "BUT THAT'S STILL TOO MUCH".

 

You don't know what that $99 item is.

LOL AUSTRALIA TAX :3

Tax to protect the local market right? Right? That's why 970's and 390's are so expensive right? Because it competes with the local umm, ummm, telstra?

Jks(sort of(not really(cries)))

Home is where the heart my desktop is.

I think the 99 dollar one is a phone to play it on.

this is the game they called no limits and happened to be the first EA racing game to make you wait for gas or pay.

I truly think this is just EA trolling. 

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

/I do get the parents CC linked to the kids account being an issue, but thats a PARENT issue, not EA's issue.

 

Game IS FREE, play for FREE

Can't fuck it up, unless on purpose.
