I'm absolutely in love with GT7 but I'm more in love with Elden Ring so I completely missed the drama around it and logged in last night to find a weird apology letter and a million FunBux in my car wallet.

LOL, thanks dudes who whined that the game whose entire premise is "you get a VW Bus, work your way up to the big leagues racing zillion dollar supercars through hard work and strategy" didn't automatically start you off with the Monaco Grand Prix supercars. I'm gonna go buy some shiny new parts for my Aston Martin.

people were mad because they patched the game to make earning cars require even more grinding, while offering microtransactions to bypass the grind

it's one thing to make you earn cars but another to make the game tedious on purpose to drive microtransaction purchases in a game that's already full price

I would simply play the game I paid for to get the rewards at the end

Also is it still a microtransaction when the high end cars cost over $200 in credit packs

Sure but you could buy the credits. I mean you don't have to, it's optional. But it's there. If you want to. Those cars, some of them are pretty nice, aren't they? But that price tag... Take you a while to earn that, eh? And for just one car? Tell you what, though. Wouldn't take you that long if you bought some credits, you know, just a few. Million. A few million. Just so you don't have to run that same race another hundred times. There's a bundle deal on, go on, treat yourself. Take you a long time if you don't. And there's upgrades to get too. Some people already have them, they're miles ahead of you. Just one little transaction and you could be speeding along. Driving the good stuff. Skipping the grind. I mean you don't have to. It's optional. But you could.

Like if you do the cafe races you'll have 30 cars and a million bucks in like 4 hours. It took me zero time to get a Dodge Viper and a Nissan Fairlady Z that just dominate the poo poo out of the North American and Asian race circuits. My Aston Martin for the Euro races just took like a half hour of redoing big cash prize races.

It's the least grindy game ever unless you expect a $14,000,000 car to be your reward for beating a Volkswagen Golf with a Corvette.

Silliest non-issue in the history of video games. Those people would not survive something as difficult as Kirby or Pokemon.

Also the $14,000,000 car isn't even that good. You can blow the doors off it with a 100k Toyota Supra.

It's just a silly gimmick, like that hat or whatever everyone was obsessed with in Call of Duty or Fortnite or whatever game it was.

Like you literally don't need to spend money for the goofy rocketship fleshlight car, you big dweebs.

Just play a real game like chess if you don't want to grind. You just have to memorize 534 openings and patterns, then play at least 10000 games and then you're tournament ready!

You joke, but it's really hosed up that Sony did something as horrible as locking later content behind having to beat early content.

I am currently at the county clerk's office crying and throwing my own feces demanding to speak to President Sony.

I say this completely sincerely, full-on absolute deadpan genuinely from the bottom of my heart:

It is really, really funny that people are mad at me for not taking the drama around a race car video game seriously. That is exquisite and I'm very happy to see it.

It then morphing into meta-commentary about how it's impossible someone couldn't care deeply about it is way more rewarding than the chuckle I was expecting by posting about how silly the drama is.

I loving love these forums.

I don't post in this thread or really anywhere ever but this is the angriest post I've ever seen so I had to comment about how mad this guy is. It's surreal. He's combined the art of rage posting with the subtle puppet master defense and reached a level beyond angry posting. I call it Angry Posting 2.
