I added an update to the thread here http://forums.kanoapps.com/showthread.php?10819-challenges-3-day-delay/page2 that details the necessity behind it.
The change is not to make people spend more $$$, that was not the intent, it was required to balance the FP economy and was the best choice compared to the others we had in front of us.
Using that logic, if we were looking to get more money, we would have simply never introduced these card games to begin with or chances to get FP`s throughout the game. There are still 6 card games in VC, instead of doing the same one over and over again, alternate through them.
