The most important downside with Gran Turismo 7 isn’t its servers anymore. Current adjustments to the sport have heavily nerfed payouts for a number of races, and gamers aren’t glad about it. The sport already closely inspired microtransactions earlier than patch 1.07 with issues like roulette spins for invites to purchase sure high-end automobiles. Right now, collection creator and GT7 director Kazunori Yamauchi instantly addressed fan sentiment in a blog post that appeared dismissive of their considerations.
What are the issues with Gran Turismo 7?
Excessive automotive costs and low payouts are the first points gamers have with Gran Turismo 7. The sport has microtransactions, and gamers understand the sport’s financial system is steering them towards them. Some automobiles that might be bought for $4.99 in Gran Turismo Sport now value $40 price of credit in GT7. A few of these automobiles solely give gamers an invite to purchase them that lasts for a restricted time, tapping instantly into FOMO.
Within the weblog publish, after addressing the recent server outage, Yamauchi states:
“Additionally on this replace, some occasion rewards have been adjusted. I wished to additionally clarify the explanations for it and our plans going ahead.
In GT7 I want to have customers take pleasure in numerous automobiles and races even with out microtransactions.
On the similar time the pricing of automobiles is a vital ingredient that conveys their worth and rarity, so I do assume it’s essential for it to be linked with the true world costs.
I wish to make GT7 a sport in which you’ll be able to take pleasure in quite a lot of automobiles numerous alternative ways, and if doable want to attempt to keep away from a scenario the place a participant should mechanically maintain replaying sure occasions over and over.
We’ll in time let you recognize the replace plans for added content material, extra race occasions and extra options that can constructively resolve this.
It pains me that I can’t clarify the small print concerning this at this second, however we plan on persevering with to revise GT7 in order that as many gamers as doable can benefit from the sport.
We might actually admire it if everybody might watch over the expansion of Gran Turismo 7 from a considerably long term standpoint.”
So, the reasoning behind nerfing races is to keep away from a scenario the place a participant will use them to grind for credit. He additionally believes that the pricing of automobiles needs to be linked to real-world costs to “convey their worth and rarity.” That’s all nicely and good when the sport doesn’t count on you to throw down actual cash to purchase them.
In different information, the Resident Evil Netflix series got a release date, and Hogwarts Legacy is confirmed to not have microtransactions.
