EA Will Charge Players to Fill Their Tank With Gas in New Need For Speed Game

EA, the company behind the much-maligned mobile game Dungeon Keeper which saw players being pilfered of their money in order to progress, is dipping its toes back in the murky water once again with iOS and Android game Need For Speed: No Limits, which requests that players fill up the tank of their vehicle with gas if they want to keep racing, or else they’ll have to wait an extended period of time in order to do so.



Placing limitations in a game titled No Limits feels like an almost intentionally annoying act on behalf of EA, as does employing a wait to pay business model in a Need For Speed game. While this is a money-making method utilized by a whole bunch of mobile games from Clash of Clans through to FarmVille (that still doesn’t make it much fun), Dungeon Keeper naturally has consumers expecting the worse when it comes to No Limits.

Need For Speed: No Limits will also feature multiple currencies, with some being earned organically while gold needs to be purchased with real-life money. Judging by screenshots from the game, gas can only be filled up using gold, naturally.
