The golden thing about this game is that everyone plays at their own speed. If you are feeling pressure to perform, it's because YOU are pressuring yourself.

The devs have to keep people interested in the game, they have always had to do this, and it's not sad, it's normal, everybody pays in one way or another and it has been this way since day one. Maybe you wish it were free and lovely and it could make everyone happy every second of the day, but developers have to eat, too. If some of us didn't spend real money on this game, it would go away and nobody would get to play.

Enjoy the game, and don't 'race the oblivious cars', it'll be a lot more fun.

Very well put. I was thinking of responding to the original post myself, but I couldn't have said it any better. Some players are eager for monthly updates, whether or not you (the original commenter) think that's necessary. Expand or not, buy FC facilities or not, they're opportunities, not something you need to do, so enjoy it at your own pace and play at whatever level you're comfortable with.
