I'm trying to read the article, however, when I click the link, I just get a blank page. Tried on this Mac, same thing on my iPhone. Any ideas?

 

[timbog77]

Do you dare try to ask for a refund?
I've tried on PS/Sony Customer Services - they say no refunds.

PayPal are normally pretty decent at refund - possibly, but Sony Europe have intimated a threat of account suspension on here as well...

Message from SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK EUROPE LIMITED
We would encourage users to direct any payment or content related enquiries direct to the PlayStationNetwork support team ( http://playstation.com/support/ ). Disputing payments directly with PayPal may result in Sony suspending your PlayStation Account....

I thought I was going crazy having the same issue. Oddly my way around it was to look up "Gran Turismo 7 1.08 Update" on Google and it was viewable afterwards.

This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Gran Turismo 7 Update 1.08 is Now Available: Fixes “Serious Issue”, Restoring Game Access​

After a disastrous 24 hours or so for Gran Turismo 7, a new update is now available that remedies problems introduced by Thursday’s v1.07 update...

The game still dosnt work after the update when is this getting fixed

 

[Hellburner]

Maybe they can call it 'GT7 Epilogue' by the time they are finished so that customers know that they buy the finished game and not this prototype.

 

[NJ72]

We bought the ****ing game, of course we want the content that should've come with it.

Worse than that, something has been taken away with this update... That's like buying a shiny new car and the manufacturer nerfing the fuel economy of it via an OTA 3 weeks later...

 

[Ramosis]

The statement, while polite, is not enough considering the current situation. You can't wait for months for a solution to the problem... I'm quite dissatisfied...

 

[Famine]

I'm playing it right now...

 

[MockngBrd]

Kaz basically said: "Piss off"

 

[Lukanyon]

Whatever they are planning to do in order to (hopefully) fix the game economy, they need to do it fast. They had 4 years and couldn't come with something better? And then ask us to wait even more? It's GT6 and GT Sport all over again, just with a new skin.

 

[ICEYOU3]

Happy the game is working again.

 

[Staquix]

The down time completely hosed my opportunity to buy that Ferrari or GT1 in legendary. My Ferrari invite will expire way before I can get 3.5m credits in this new economy and the GT1 will be sold out by tomorrow.

Sony will still never get another dime from me for this game.

omg the constant whining and crying that i've seen here on this website for the past days is mesmerizing... I havent posted in years but people are getting their priorities wrong... specially after what happened in Japan with the recent earthquake and the ongoing war in Ukraine, like...

why are you bothering to comment that you've deleted the game and won't install it again? that you went for a refund? seriously who cares? go play anything else and let people play GT7 and have their own time with the game. you wanted GT7 so bad you bought it on launch day then you expect the game to give you lots of credits with minimal effort? no one is forced to use real money and most of us wont ever buy those credits anyway, cause we dont have any need to: game life expectancy is WAY bigger than GTS'. what would happen is that in a few weeks/months you already got most of the cars in the game and would start complaining again about whatever.

I got the PS4 version day one and havent played the game yet (personal issues first then I decided to wait it out cause of the mission bugs and servers maintenance) and the world carries on, there's more important stuff out there than a few bugs on a game that was clearly forced to come out before it was ready. just give the game some more time, damn it. it's been TWO weeks... im finally ready to play the game after this update. and still glad I sold GT Sport too cause seriously, everybody left that game for good

 

[captainzib]

I'm still waiting for them to inevitably add loot boxes in some form!

What do you consider roulette tickets to be?

 

[Emet_PL]

Hah... waiting for almost 2 days, beeing at 36 collector level, finishing all rhe cafe menus and... I have got a 1 star ticket with (surprise... surprise...) 2000cr prize 🙃

 

[dazdilly75]

There is a lack of endurance races. In previous titles they were the events that always provided the most cash. I expect that to also be the case in GT7.

 

[tehPete]

I'm playing it right now...

Has Fishermans been boosted from 30k to 50k since 1.07?

 

[BeardedWolf]

If they didn't "want people to play the same event over and over" then....why not increase the payments to all the other races instead of nerfing all of them? I mean...okay, Fisherman's Ranch was a little too OP. That's fair, but cutting it by over half is a little excessive.

 

[Reydawg Rey]

Who cares how Kaz feels about what he perceives as grinding and how players play the game. At least the option was there exactly the same as mtxs being completely optional. For them to keep firm in keeping the lower rewards is devastating. I love GT7 however it's all a matter of principle from this point. I will continue to boycott playing the game. I have not bought the PS5 yet and was intending to purely enjoy GT7 at it's best by purchasing it until this bs came about. Now I really have no reason to support PD or Sony.

 

[AutumnalGlow]

Has Fishermans been boosted from 30k to 50k since 1.07?

No.

 

[Rotax2020]

PD needs to stop the MTX-scam.

If Sony does not cooperate, cut all connections to these greedy company.

Sony deserves same sanctions as russia does. Until they learn and change.

I will not progress the career, until the nerf is patched out.

 

[Nuschel01]

Sony deserves same sanctions as russia does.

Still waiting for an answer to wtf you're smoking

 

[ThruxtonGT]

if he didnt intend people to rush through the game (cafe menus) he shouldnt have locked away our favorite tracks behind them.

U WOT M8? 😉

 

[ICEYOU3]

I cant seem to get pass 346mb on the install file any suggestions

 

[tehPete]

No.

Ok, thanks for checking - it must have just been a regional variance with the stream I was watching.

 

[Ferrari458Italia]

I'm just really disappointed in Sony/Playstation for allowing such a blatant attempt at getting more money via microtransactions from users who paid full price for this game. Very disappointed with gaming in this day and age.

Or you were looking at the wrong event, the 2 lap race is 50k. The Dirt Champions 1 lap race is still 30k.

Allowing? They're happy to have it.

You are what is wrong with the industry and its fan base.
If you are that complacent with this nonsense going on in the gaming industry, get off this forum, as it clearly is not an important hobby to you.

The game had a 24+ hour outage in which no one could play and progress in a game they paid a lot of money for. £80 in the UK!

The industry is being ruined by Microtransactions, games are being built around them, including GT7. 2000CR reward for daily mileage. Tuning which is horrendously overpriced (not as bad as GTA Online). Overpriced Cars in Used Showroom, Invitations that expire, and Legends Showroom that are Limited Stock incentivises FOMO, and those susceptible will pay up. Wanna sell a car? Nope. Why? Nope.

They are actively dropping payouts to stop people playing how they want to play, with a vague response saying, "please stick with us, trust us, we have a plan". How on earth is that For The Players, like Sony is touting?

Look at the Battlefront 2 backlash, and tell me how that wasn't needed for this industry. Or were you ok with that too?

"No one forced you" is such a pathetic, dim and empty argument. Take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

 

[Gerarghini]

So basically…

Nah.
