I don’t know aboit the new FH6, but I always really liked how Forza Horizon does it. Because it does not cost anything. You just get an endless stream of wheel spins and random drops. There isn’t even a way to buy them at all.

You get thst sort of, “Randomized dopamine hit” but its just part of the game.
