A hunch at what caused all of this.

Yeah that would be one hell of an oversight. Single point of failure, risk etc.

Yeah, i suspect it's not even directly possible, everyone would likely need to uninstall completely, then reinstall and re-patch, basically taking them out for another 24 hours, to say nothing of the network traffic of having literally everyone doing it at the same time. even if they thnk it's going to take another 12 hours to fix, they're better off riding it out than reverting.

We were able to log in and race for a few moments before it was taken back offline. I don’t think our save data was lost.

My conspiracy theory:
I can't believe that a company as big as PD/Sony made this obvious popular grinding spots by mistake, never ever! They knew what they did very well, and now they are reversing to take these tiny nosebags away from us. By plan. There where always money glitches in every version of GT right from the beginning and they always stopped this kinda soon, that's history.
And I dunno why they did it, maybe a marketing expert can explain this. But it has something to do with earning more money, of course! 🤪

Obviously the work of the Zionist lizard men kiddy fiddling shadow cabal.

What are you on about? Not literally everything is related to Russia.
Finally, someone who gets it. Rollbacks aren't possible!
They're likely creating a new build of 1.06 that has to go through sony's red tape before deployment

Kaz saw the backfire of the reduced payout, took the server down, and is now multiplying all payouts by 10. We will be able to download patch 1.08 with a proper rewarding economy in a few hours and play it tonight.
We all get 3 lottery tickets of each star-level (for a total of 18 tickets) as a compensation of this mess.

Actually, I googled for Japan cyber attack, and a number of recent articles popped up. It wouldn't surprise me if Russia would hit "another" major sector where it hurts, particularly one bigger than the film and TV industry. The U.S. is also buzzing about the possibility since we have such a feckless administration capable of very little but bossing us peasants around.
I know this is a fun thread but hey, I rule nothing out in this crazy age where the Antichrist really could waltz up any month.

Well there's another argument for why always online singleplayer is a terrible idea. Never know when it might be ruined by Russian cyberattacks, I guess.
React to this post with "poo" to show your support for Putin.

So much Irish pride in a country that is 3500+ miles away from Ireland. 🤷♂️
I know why, but I still find it funny; St. Patricks day probably gets celebrated by more non-Irish than actual Irish people. 😂

Seriously though the delay is because Sophy has gained sentience and they are rushing to shut it down before it starts world war 3

If Russian hackers breeched PD in retaliation for GT7 not being sold in Russia, you'd never know it.
They'd never admit to it.

Perhaps the rather alarming negative (and quite rightly so in some ways) has reached PD a in such a way that they realised they may have messed up the entire game and not just the update - I mentioned in another thread that perhaps it wasn’t supposed to release 4 March. Maybe they will tweet out saying the game needs more development so any copies can be refunded and the game released later on with a lot of the bugs fixed. Maybe they’ll release a player feedback form and base improvements from that.

It was possible for a company like Facebook to completely lock themselves out of their entire infrastructure (even physically because door scanners were tied into their software) by a screwup in their deployment. So for me it's not that hard to imagine that PD deployed an update that had similar effect.

Fingers crossed they mess that up too and accidentally give everyone an actual $20 million

This is what happens when they don't let Kaz delay releasing the game for 3 years so that he can make sure everything is perfect.

Couple of people have been reacting to just about everything I say with "poo", so I edit these in after the fact.You stepped right in that one, I see.
