What is a little worrying is a note that one of the recent patches raised the cap on “non-paid credits” - meaning that if you don’t pay up for microtransactions, the maximum amount of in-game credits you can have on-hand is 100 million, up from the original 20 million.
You have to actively go looking for the “top up” option in Gran Turismo 7, and you’re certainly never bombarded with limited-time sales and other such nonsense. Now, of course, I think most of us would prefer our games to be completely microtransaction-free, but this is certainly no Chocobo GP situation where the main menu looks like the worst kind of free-to-play straight-to-mobile garbage. This is false - and the fact that no-one noticed their presence prior to everyone getting mad about them demonstrates how admirably unobtrusive they are.
Speaking of which…Ī lot of people online spread the misinformation that a post-launch patch for Gran Turismo 7 added microtransactions to the game. Unnaturally souped-up cars would be easily detectible once the multiplayer servers came back online, and if someone found an exploit that allowed them to get enough credits to acquire hard-to-find cars easily… well, the ability to acquire credits without earning them is already present in the game in its online state. I would assume the main reason is to discourage cheating, but honestly speaking there’s not really a lot of ways you can “cheat” in Gran Turismo 7 in a way that would adversely affect the online experience anyway. I am yet to see a convincing reason that the entirety of Gran Turismo 7’s single-player offering needs to be online. It’s a pain in the arse on mobile games, and it’s positively criminal for games on proper computers and consoles.īy all means, lock people out of the online components of the game - be they leaderboards, the ability to share liveries and tuning setups or the actual multiplayer modes - but do not, do NOT make the entire game unplayable.
GRAN TURISMO 7 INITIAL RELEASE DATE UPDATE
Taking an entire game - including its single-player component - down for “maintenance” when an update is being applied is not acceptable.
I won’t argue with this one at all, and it really cannot be emphasised enough.
