It's a subscription game - screw ubisoft.

Basically ubi tricking everyone again.
lame!

you got the a campaign that get updated every 3 months and you can play on online server against real people for free. you only need the subscription if you want to play the track of the day, ranked competitive mode and use the level editor and custom car models.

You tricked yourself by not actually doing any kind of research

The game is literally free. You can play the official campaigns when they come out each season and compete with other people for times. You can play the official multiplayer modes, including ranked. Also you can make your own stuff with track editors, skins etc.

The subscription is only for advanced online features like Track of the Day, publishing your creations online, player clubs and so on. Before you post your braindead takes, maybe do the bare minimum research next time?

"Advanced features" such as being able to play content made by other users. The feature list of the "free" version of this game is ridiculous and you're better off playing Trackmania Nations Forever.

Wow, who would've thought a 15 year old game would have more content for the money

It costs 10 bucks a year to play this game on online servers (how we used to play on nations forever).
If you want full customisation and server hosting then you'll have to pay the club access whcih is considerably higher.
The only difference here is the 10 bucks a year for the normal access that used to be free to play. I think it is a fair price for the continued development that we didn't really get in the old titles (ie new blocks gamemodes surfaces and other features)

Try it out for free to get a feeling and do some track of the days (player submitted tracks which are also free to play) and see if it is worth the measly 83 cents per month.

Agree that the free version should allow players to join dedicated servers.

But in my opinion, subscription is quite justified, maybe because the game receive regular updates with new things regularly (new blocks, new Royal mode, new season campaigns, etc...), but also because on Club access, you can setup a server/room with your maps/custom mode without worrying about it. Just connecting to your server will boot it up and you can play your maps with your friends, it's very cool imo.

At least, it's still better than paying Rocket League pass which only give you cheap gift/cosmetics like lemon tyres that doesn't worth the price you paid...

Subscription was introduced by Nadeo, not ubisoft, nice misinformation.

which is all the relevant pieces of a TM game. I don't get why they dont just sell the game for 20 bucks and make a Demo. That worked in the past.

Oh it's perfectly simple.
A subscription means the game, ultimately, costs infinity money. They can get a lot more out of you than through a one-time purchase.

You can buy a 3 year club subscription for the price of a regular retail game, or less if you buy it during a sale or from one of the reseller sites (Fanatical, Green Man Gaming, etc.). I literally just bought a 3 year subscription for $38, so barely $1/month over a 3 year period. If you are still enjoying the game after 3 years, wouldn't you say you have got your money worth? I would love to pay once and then get free content forever, but it just doesn't work like that. I don't get why a very reasonable subscription fee is so offensive to people.
