Last year's world champion publicly calling the game broken and won't compete until they fix it. Kind of a big deal.

Personally, I haven't played for weeks after finishing all the single player content and have found the online plays severely lacking - which is pretty amazing considering that GTS was all about the online play. I don't get it. I thought the entire point
of GTS was for PD to figure out the online/esports aspects. Then they ignored everything they should've learned from GTS.

…but, but GT7 is about the uninitiated learning about cars and getting that feeling veteran players felt, the first they/we played GT1 for the first time.
So, in essence, it’s 1997. Only social media is word of mouth and game stores. Unofficial PlayStation magazine and demo discs. Guide books.
Today:

  • word by text
  • we’re mainly in the dark until the magazine is issued next month
  • we have guides(made by gtplanet & community)

I hope all those new players to GT, are getting that nostalgic feel Kaz wants for all players.
 
It’ll be like anything else. Nico Rosberg got his trophy and quit. A new champ takes his place.

The problem is then getting a new champ, with the broken online portion. Doesn’t matter who it is. Anyway, if MTX sales are the main focus, fumbling online is a non-issue.

Now that is one hell of a comparison :lol:. There is an extremely big difference in context between Nico Rosberg retiring from F1 to spend more time with his family after achieving his major life goal of becoming an F1 Champion, and the reigning champ in an eSports series who, by all accounts, wants to continue competing, but can't find the motivation to due to his game of choice having significant issues. It's especially problematic if, as @Samus has mentioned, they're the champion of the mainline series that the Devs/Publisher have sunk a significant amount of time, money and resources into.

Context is key in almost everything, and the significance of said context shouldn't be ignored.

a championship without the defending champ isn't the same..

That's the thing, for the vast majority of the players this thing we put into our consoles is a game and the championship is something tacked on the side is a tiny feature that we either don't look at or is of minimal importance. The narrative of the games problems is being pushed by the eSports players and content "creators" which isn't representative of the experience most other players get.

For example the penalty system, in A+ it's fine and I don't come across dirty players, further down people are banging their heads against walls dealing with uncivilised yobbos. That's why I hope whatever player chat group PD have setup isn't full of the top players and youtubers but represented by the casual player too, they will decide whether GT7 is a success or not.
 
At the latest when it comes to qualifying or the decisive race, PD has to wake up, because the current sport mode is a disaster and you have to risk "everything" in the race... or drive like a pig. Add to this the unprecedented instability, whether it's the Daylis or the manufacturers' races, it's a gamble whether the race starts or not... And when it does start, you can be lucky... or unlucky with the rolling start. Only this afternoon again such a race. I was in P2 with 0.3s on P1 when the first gauges came up after the start. P3 was 1.6s behind me. That's extremely unfair for P1 and P3... but as a player... you should do it... There are so many problems and I really don't understand why things are going so badly, especially since GTS can do it all so much better.

And another example why I don't understand this (all the sport mode problems). I used to play WoW (yes, stone me) We were 40 players in one instance and it ran for the vast majority of these players almost 20 years ago... problem-free and absolutely in sync.... we can do it today Time something like this is not possible for 16 drivers?
 
He's literally kicking Polyphony where it really hurts, and making them bleed with that one tweet. I think it's time for a wake-up call for Polyphony to fix GT7's underlying problems (such as "more grind, less fun", not having all the cars in the game as rental cars in the game's Arcade Modes (Arcade Race, Time Trial, Drift Trial, Custom Race and 2-Player Battle), rigged roulette tickets, the online lobbies, pointless mechanics such as brand invitations for hypercars, and so on).

Another would be Polyphony making efforts to be more transparent to the game's communities and fanbase.

This is honest, brutal truth. I'd love to see GT7 succeed and I really want to love and enjoy this game, but all these problems are really making it hard, and de-motivating me from playing it even more.

Quick! Wake up Nathan. Somebody’s got to tell Gallo how great the sales are. Sounds like Gallo’s really pissed though, both Nath’s pom-poms might be needed for a job this big.
 
So he is taking a break until the game is “esports ready”. Good for him, meanwhile the single player experience that was advertised and promised and made several people return to the franchise after years like me, that don’t really care about online is still lacking content - I think if PD has a priority, it should be the single player game. Also good job PD putting the name of the guy I’ve never heard before GT7 inside each single player race for him to then quit
 
Can't imagine this was easy for him to tweet considering Kaz follows him. It would be a bad look if PD uninvited him from future events if he decides to come back.

If anyone else important expresses their dissatisfaction with the game, I hope they mention stuff other than the multiplayer.

So, clearly, all the efforts for update 1.17 will be to replace Gallo in all the single-player races. And also to screw up FFB some more. . .

That would be the most shallow, crappy thing they can do. Taking someone who has been an ambassador out of the game he has been promoting for calling out the shortcomings, instead of owning up and fixing them, would be a bad move. They would lose credibility just like CDPR did with Cyberpunk!

Some might not think it matters but when the share prices go down, they really do!

Nono if you want a comparison to Rosberg it would be Gallo calling it quits because he knew Hizal was back on the tour.

I wish Gallo posted here so we could get more details.

This post was quite amusing. About as amusing as eSports players thinking they represent the GT7 community.

I truly hope lobbies & online competition are fixed soon. They deserve it. Then we can move onto issues that really do concern the vast majority of players.
