That's one way to make people happy, although if this has been gifted to everyone I'm afraid they'll have done more harm than good.
The 50% off would have been more than enough.
Don't misunderstand, I'm glad they've done this after the :censored:storm everything has caused but it just makes all the saving I've done pointless.

Okay, it's VIP members only for the E21. 👍
Still, part of me thinks the 50% off would have been more than enough. Drastic measures and all I suppose.

Sorry guys missed a bit.
5) Finally, we’re dramatically increasing the credit payout available to all Forza players in December via Forza Rewards, our ongoing loyalty program that rewards players with credits and cars for playing Forza games. You’ll be able to redeem these rewards in December but here’s a tip: The higher your Tier level reaches before December rolls around, the better the rewards you’ll be able to redeem, so get your play time in now and level up!
Now, a word about tokens in the Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition. In our original description for Forza Motorsport 5’s Limited Edition, we told you that Limited Edition owners would get 1,250 in-game tokens, which we mistakenly said would be enough tokens to afford any car in the Forza 5. It isn’t. As a result, a number of you have pointed this out to us – that there are a number of cars in the game that cost more than 1,250 tokens to purchase.
We’re sorry. In order to make up for this discrepancy, we will soon be offering Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition owners the chance to download and own the car of their choice in the game. Players will be able to choose from any of the on-disc cars in Forza 5 and will be able redeem this offer on ForzaMotorsport.net via a dedicated page that will be available no later than December 16.

I am sure they will put some goodies in the upcoming dlc's to eat away at that nestegg.

Think of all the other cars you can buy.

Funny how this is exactly what Dan Greenwalt was talking about when it came to devaluing certain cars. Well I guess T10 is to the point where they need to buy off all the bad threads on the forum.
Sad really that they did the opposite of what the T10 philosophy was for FM5

Quoted from another site.
'Forza Motorsport 5 VIP members receive a free 2013 Lotus E21 grand prix car. [...] Furthermore, those who purchased the Forza Motorsport 5 Limited Edition will be given the chance to download any car of their choice at no extra charge
So they justified this new system by saying "The expectation is that different cars are more expensive and that makes them more rare". And now they're effectively giving the most expensive car in the game (the Lotus E21) to every single VIP and Limited Edition player? I imagine that the most expensive car won't be too rare after all. Way to undermine your own justification for this anti-gamer business decision.'
Sums it up pretty well imo, the model is broken and will remain broken yet people are falling over themselves thinking its a good deal?
MT on a full price game are BS, especially when the economy is as broken as the FM5 model.
Not exactly a reward is it, more like a bribe to keep people quite while they figure out a slightly less obvious way to screw you over.

I'm looking on the bright side; for those of us who won't be playing it until next year at some point, maybe all of this drama will result in us essentially having a Free Run mode with all cars available anyways, since they'll have sent us most of the entire car list as gifts by then.

Actually I think it was a way to give VIP owners what they were promised. "enough tokens to buy any car in the game", with a few gifts to say sorry. They even go so far as to say that.
Am I the only one that thinks T10 is paying for MS's mistakes?
Now we are just waiting for them and MS to come to a compromise over the microtransaction MS wanted so bad in every game they could get away with. I think Grenawalt is being honest in his vision of wanting people to "Form connections with the cars they own". A lot of people that don't have the game may not have noticed that the game actually rewards you for doing that in a way that benefits your entire collection. and not just that specific make like FM4.
