Another patch for GT7 has come about and to the surprise of no-one, it nerfs virtually every single efficient moneymaking method that the game had up to now and therefore makes the already painful slog of a grind to get enough credits to get higher end cars in the game even longer and far more painful.
Many races that "wrongly gifted" players a 5,000cr award are being reduced to become "more reasonable".
Front and centre of this is the top-earner, the Dirt Champions race at Fishermans Ranch, which sees payouts cut by more than half. That still makes it the quickest method in the game, but at close to 850,000cr per hour it’s now far less efficient than before.
Other top earners have also seen the rewards cut too, with High Speed Ring, Special Stage Route X, Goodwood, and even Alsace Village races less effective than pre-patch.
What this leads to is having a game where the game either takes all your time and gives you back the bare minimum, or you can respect your time but have to part with your hard earned cash to be able to own the most wanted cars in the game.
If this was a FTP title it would be acceptable, if it was a £50 title on all platforms it would be wrong, but expected as part of the industry these days, but to have these truly despicable methods in a £70 game? It's absolute madness.
It really sucks as Gran Turismo 7 is a truly great game in every other aspect but this just stinks of greed and the fact that PD are actively watching what players do to avoid spending their own cash on cars to only nerf the shit out of it reeks in my opinion.
Bring back the days of GT Sport when cars were a couple quid.
