Gran Turismo 7 is playable again after more than 24 hours down

One of the most important releases of PlayStation for this year, Grand Touring 7has come back to life after it was down for a little over 24 hours. The reason was none other than a problem linked to the last update of the game, which led to putting servers under maintenanceand unsurprisingly, if your game isonly works connected to the internetand you have the servers down, because there was no way to log in to enjoy the game, which has been released by 80 eurosalmost nothing.

“This is a rare issue that was not observed during testing on development hardware or pre-release QA sessions, but in order to prioritize user save data security, we have decided to discontinue the release update 1.07 and perform a corrective update 1.08,” said Kazunori Yamauchi, CEO of Polyphony Digital, the studio behind the game.

People made a lot of firewood from the fallen tree, taking advantage of the situation to complain of the game’s heavy emphasis on microtransactionswhich turns the multiplayer mode en un Pay-to-Win.

In essence, a car that you could buy with in-game currency would entail you playing the game every day earning a set amount of credits per day to buy a vehicle, which translates to a large number of months, even more than a year (depending on the hours you dedicate to it per day) to buy a specific car, when another user making a payment can have it from the moment he buys the game, but seen what has been seen, little mattered to the company:

“In Gran Turismo 7 I would like users to enjoy many cars and races even without microtransactions. At the same time, the price of cars is an important element that conveys their value and raritySo I think it’s important that is tied to real-world prices.

I want to make Gran Turismo 7 a game where a wide variety of cars can be enjoyed in many different ways, and if possible I’d like to try to avoid a situation where the player has to mechanically repeat certain events over and over again. “
