and parts for a car I don't have and most probably will never use... I'd prefer if it was upgrades that you can use on any car, like SS tyres, weight reduction stage x...

I got 5 gold bars (500k), 100k and the NSX Gr.4 as my top 3 so far.
Nope, it's absolutely intentional.
It’s offered but is so prohibitively expensive only YouTubers are gonna buy them to be honest.
At the end of the day, the game has to last a few years now so might as well do all the races with the cars they give you and tune a few and this time in 2 months you’ll be sitting on enough money.
It’s the way it’s always been.
How many times are we gonna buy GTA 5? Because I have the PS3 version, the PS4 version and they are selling the PS5 version I won’t buy. I hate the online version soooo…developers clearly are and en masse people are lapping it up.
How long between sport and this game…
Apart from some of the AAA sports games name another annual title that isn’t a few tweaks that didn’t make the previous version and roster updates?
So yeah, free dlc keeps it fresh but the premise of the game is to drive cars anywhere and everywhere and over time acquire more?
I don’t have a problem with this, but then I’m prepared to work and save for the nice things.
Edit: just to add, when I started playing games I had Wolfenstien on shareware on a 3.5 floppy disk…
When I got GT1 I’d already had the original Need For Speed….(the best one tbh) on a pc with less hard drive than my phone has ram now.
The reality is that everyone wants everything now but don’t want to put the effort in to it.
It’s sad but true.

No, that isn't the reality. The reality is people want to complete and attain everything a game has to offer within a reasonable amount of time and, the most important part, they want to have fun doing it.
Grinding the same event over and over for hours on end is not fun, nor is playing the same game for years on end for most people. But that's what PD are currently asking of players.
So have fun doing it?
I’m not sure what you are trying to say?
PD has always designed the games this way, there were a few easier ways to “own” everything in earlier games, and if you didn’t use the cheats or rubber bands on you could do it. It’s about the fun which is throwing a mk1 golf GTi around a circuit or a gr3 car around the ring, but the point of the game is to enjoy driving. Trophies and golds and expensive cars are just incentives.
It’s a game built around the fun of doing a track day and driving different cars not being first fastest.
On a bad day just put on a silly easy race use the old Porsche and drift around the ring and admire the feeling. Very few people will ever get close to the real feeling of that, and you never know 1 lap turns in to 2 and after an hour you’ve done 8 glorious laps.
Games are games and the designers make them how they want. If you don’t like it sell it or move on, but it’s a car game meant for driving.

It's a really short game. It hasn't even lasted more than a weekend for a lot of people, myself included.
There are only a relatively small amount of races available, all but exactly one of them with poor payouts. Because they want you to get bored of that one race (and the available races in general) and buy the microtransactions instead.
And over those years, plenty of people will get so bored of the poor event list that they'll buy the microtransactions. So yeah, it'll last a few years, if you spend all those years doing the exact same race over and over, if you stop buying expensive cars and parts, or if you spend real money to get credits.

The difference is that what a "reasonable amount of time" is has gotten significantly shorter with today's generation raised on 140 character posts and 1 minute videos. "Back in the day" people did play one game for several years at a time if they wanted to accomplish/acquire everything in a game.
"Grinding the same event over and over for hours on end" is exactly what every previous GT game was about if you wanted to acquire every car. In GT2 it was running the the '80s race at Tahiti Road repeatedly to resell the Skyline Silhouette for 250k. Don't like it? Go play something else.

Maybe they have, but I'm not. Quite the opposite in fact. I remember as a kid thinking it was insane I played Final Fantasy X for 120 hours. Nowadays that seems pretty normal for a game of that kind. 60-150 hours is pretty reasonable to me, 400-500, not so much. Especially if most of that time is repetitive.
GT1- 6had longer career modes with more events, had cars you could sell, the credit payouts were far higher than GT7 and in the case of 1-4, cars were far cheaper.
Grinding has always been in GT games, yes, but never to the same extent required in GTS and GT7. That is a fact which has been demonstrated countless times these last few days yet people continue to persist in claiming it was always this bad.
The thing and I’ll admit I’m a petrol head, is how is it grinding driving cars?
It’s one thing I will never understand. The variety of tracks, cars and races let alone the time trials or just free drive options mean this is a a new and free track day for me.
Based on how some of you talk you’d fall over knowing that I just take a random car round the ring and enjoy it. Just because I can. I like cars and driving, that’s what I bought a game with both in it.
Id imagine a lot of you don’t realise why the E30 M3 is so coveted or the 3.0CSL
Or even why a radical is such a popular track day toy.
This makes me sad.
