No idea, I don't use Zwift. Although I agree with you, it's utterly pointless to limit stuff that's not purely cosmetic. Gamifying indoor stuff probably helps with accessibility and motivation for many, but it's still a workout thingy, not a game.

Yeah, the market workouts and virtual reality and then shout "it's just a game" when you've paid your money and don't get the feckin' virtual worlds they promised. They lowered the entry requirements for the Alpe thing I wanted but it's still ~4hrs of riding depending on what you know about the game, ie. I got a bunch of points just doing a 1000W "sprint" and knowing you get bonus points for finishing circuits, so do all the easy flat shit first. But still.. knobs.

It's a game ànd a workout thingy. You unlock bikes, wheels and routes. Only the jerseys and clothing are cosmetic. The more you ride, the better equipment you get. (And the more routes you can ride). I like that, it's fun and it gives me something to look forward to. If I had everything unlocked on day one Zwift would be a lot more boring and it would be just a training platform, like TR.
Anyway, @hippy isn't really the target demo I think. :) Not many people get on Zwift to do a vEverest as one of their first rides.

Fucking Zwift fanboys don't like people criticising their virtual world do they?
