Need For Speed - No Current Plans For Paid DLCs

Ghost Games has shared a new Q&A for Need For Speed, in which it revealed that the game won't be plagued by paid DLCs or micro-transactions. Need For Speed is coming to the PC in Spring 2016 and will have an unlocked framerate.

Q) Will there be paid DLC?
A) We plan to release a series of free content updates for Need for Speed. We currently have no plans for any paid DLC. 

Q) Will there be micro transactions?
A) There will be no micro transactions. 

Q) Will there be manual transmission / split screen / wheel support?
A) There are many features that people are asking for, these are among many things that we are investigating. 

Q) What was the reasoning behind the PC version being moved?
A) We moved the PC version in order to deliver an experience complete with unlocked frame rate. 

Q) Do I need to be connected to the internet at all times?
A) You will need a persistent internet connection, as Need for Speed is committed to being a live service so we can deliver an ongoing experience that is constantly changing and evolving. We will include free content updates and challenges as an ever-present ways for you to earn rewards and continually explore the game.

That sounds like they haven't bothered testing the game with a wheel. Which reminds me NFS Hot Pursuit - the original was great to play with a wheel, and the remake was unplayable. I'm not kidding - it was better to play it with a keyboard than with a wheel.

And suggestions like that it's an arcade game, so no wheel support is needed are worthless. Just check out the original Most Wanted with something that has quality force feedback and you'll be amazed how good this game is.

Agreed. What's sad is that to get that kind of experience, one often has to use a hacked version of some game files. If the game got hacked, what is the point of all the draconian DRM measures that only affect paying customers? It's especially great when the game gets older and they don't bother to patch out the DRM. It renders the game completely useless.

Having to go online to play single player games is just lunacy.

I completely agree. I live where there is killer internet but ruined with data caps.

I legally buy my games, backup them up on my external drive in original form.
But I will use a crack if needed. EA games have a 5 install limit that was never removed from the Crysis games, NFS Shift series, and a bunch more on origin. I got tired of contacting EA to get my game installed. So I just used a crack on them. Its a real pisser to be a honest customer sometimes.
