To be honest, my personal issue is that you might have the possibility of selling a unique car bought for 100€ IRL for in-game GTAW money, which would set a horrible precedent of having assets purchasable for real cash that translate to game money.

Agreed, I hope it'll be locked to your character, or even better; be able to transfer it between characters, which will also potentially increase sales.

1. The unique car being not for sale after ic was already confirmed as most likely option,

2. I am pretty certain Nervous is actually trolling with the japanese cop car but we'll see 🤭

For me it's more about a car being chosen that doesn't really have a 'neutral' position allowing for a broad variety of characters to use it putting me off from purchasing the package. However, personally I believe the car should be a permanent lease so that it cannot be sold. Then it turns into Pay 2 Win, rather than a gesture for a donation during a charity event. However, I personally would still like to use this gesture and it would equal to me buying a skin for a weapon I can't use with my class in a game. Just doesn't work out.

This! Would better fit a much wider range of characters. The car being on offer at the moment is really nice, honestly, but wouldn't be a fit for most characters on the server.

This guy got the right idea. Add a few more cars to choose from, and turn it into a permanent lease.

That precedent is already set, it's something that exists on the French GTAW server ^^'

Not sure how I'd feel about seeing it happen here tho. That said, the lease with a more varied choice is probably a good idea 🙂

You can suggest a new car.

The car is not sellable.

What about a tank? I promise I won't sell it.

The problem here is that you're not using the right incentive to purchase the expensive pack. There's many people that will choose the most expensive pack by default because they believe in the cause, or cause they have too much money, but there's also a lot of points to win with people if you offer something that is desirable over something that is not. That might just make the difference between people buying the $60 pack and the $100 pack. I agree with Law, and that car does not suit my character, and seeing as it's "exclusive" I'm not sure on the terms of being able to sell it, or scrap it, which would be a waste of $40. It doesn't serve as anything else but a collector's item, but that's not fair when it can be held against you by factions doing asset-checks and so on.

Believe in the cause? Only 50% goes to charity. And clearly, the items offered in the packages are meant to attract players to buy them. Otherwise it would have just been donations to charity without getting anything in return. If you're gonna offer an incentive, which is actually a good business strategy always, then obviously you need to make sure your customers actually want that item.
