But there’s also things like lacking events, rain option missing on several tracks, lack of communication and promises that PD didn’t deliver on that sure can‘t be ignored too.
Try to bring this up in any GT7 discussion and see how many people jump you🤣.
This franchise is getting carried by graphics alone, that's why most of the comments on any post focus mostly on that. Remove "cool graphics" from GT7 and see what's left.

But maybe not many people are ready for this discussion yet.
 
Actually that has been discussed for a long time here. There have been a lot of discussions about the nature of GT7 and everything that is wrong with it. Even people who love the game admit it is very flawed. If you don't like the game that's cool nobody is going to jump for that.

Maybe i haven't been here long enough to see that but all i'm seeing is a constant glorification of Kaz like he's the savior of racing games and things like that. 🤣

We have had people call for him to retire and let someone else run the franchise. Most of the people are really passionate about this series and only want the best and GT7 is not the best we have seen from PD. To me it's a shame because I love the livery editor, engine swaps and it has quite a few of my favorites cars but the career mode, in game economy, uselessness of many cars, poor AI and the chase the rabbit race take away from it.

You've clearly not been long enough here then.

Most of us are tired to talk about the issues of the game, especially since many of those are present since launch and PD does not care a bit.

So we let Kaz's zealot ramble.

Fair enough then. I personally can't really blame people who called for him to retire after seeing GT's current state.
 
The thing is, yes, those of us who are invested and on dedicated forums have our definite, undeniable issues with the game that, as @Lomic rightly says, we've all discussed to death over the last two years. Nobody's denying those, it's definitely a game that gets more infuriating the more in-depth you go with it.

But from a standpoint of sales and wider franchise reputation among non-hardcore people, the series is pretty much definitively in the best place it's been since the PS2. It keeps selling, it's widely considered a VR killer app, and general gaming sentiment towards the franchise is way more positive than it was during the endless delays of the PS3 era or the content drought of the early Sport era.

So there's zero reason for Sony to enforce a change of leadership for what has been a pretty successful product. And that's before you go into the history of how franchises with talismanic directors/producers go once that talisman leaves (spoilers: it's generally bad).
