In fact, that situation sort of inspired us, we saw that there wasn't goo karting games with their own personality in PC, best option was to play Mario Kart with an emulator.
Too bad you don't like microtransactions at all, cause our game will be release as a free to play.
I can understand you because I'm also a great retro games lover, and sometimes felt that free to games were incomplete o that always wanted more and more money from me. But truth is that there are also great games under F2P model(Team Fortress or League of Legends for example), and our compromise as players and developers is to keep the races fair, and make the players feel like paying for extra content rather to force them in order to continue playing in equal conditions.
Nobody will obtain any in-game advantage for paying, and every game feature could we unlocked by just playing in an amount of time within reason (just like if it was a classic history mode).
There will be lots of visual customizations like car skins, and some Tournaments with real life prizes (keyboards, headphones, controllers, gaming hardware mainly...) with a 1$ fee inscription. This will allow players to compete against 4000 players in at least 3 races and a maximum of 6 if you make it to the final. Every player who participates in one of these tournament will receive in exchange a virtual item like a sticker to place in the car. There will also be free inscription tournaments, of course!
Lastly, players will have classic options to unlock everything from the start, if they don't want to spend time unlocking it and prefer to go directly to compete.
I think that this way of funding the game is pretty fair to both, players and developers.
Thanks a lot for your comment!
