A game makes most of its sales money in the first months of release. So if something goes wrong in that time, it can impact sales.
Gt7 release was, as you know, controversial. When the community expressed its dissatisfaction, fearing an impact on sales, they tried to mend things asap. Thats why you got brand invite cars unlocked, a s-ton of cash for completing circuit experiences, human comedy, tokyo, le mans and sardegna with payouts so exorbitant it made their mtx's irrelevant.
Now, when they already made most of their money, there is no more need for big worries and you get low effort content.
People have been asking for more event like tokyo, le mans and sardegna for so long and yet nothing.
Well I tend to agree with this point of view a lot more and accept it more easily than most of other rant about the game or said update. I mean most of the time it is about expectations not being met or lack of new stuff.
It is normal as well to feel that way. More if you still have in mind the premisse of things before handling the actual game and what it was promised to be. But it got to the point that now it will be easier if you accept that your expectations will not be fulfilled.
It can be mostly based on the lack of communication with the player invested in the game from PD. And the fact that it was something never adressed. Either in a way of « we want to improve, we don’t want to do that for X or Y ». I mean have we already been talked to directly ? Outside of promoting the game I mean ?
Maybe it will change someday but it is better to let go off on the subject.
We don’t have a view of the future outside of what was annouced or that PD had in mind. And no further info on what will be scraped or is still in the tube to be implemented.
The lack of knowing means we have to stop expecting.
On a brighter note I would say that most game launched nowadays don’t had free contents or take care of bugs as much as PD does. I mean we never had an update breaking the whole experience. And if it was, nothing comparable as some updates I had encountered on games like Destiny 2 or CoD MW to speak from recent experience I had on PS4.
We had new cars, new tracks, new race events, Sophy has been showed to be functional and usable, VR support added, online events via TT and such, car’s selling option…
I mean some of those took time but happened still.
But for sure some other did not and where deemed much simpler to add.
Races events and new Championships come to mind as well as « spiced event » or variation on race ( qualifying or standings grid).
We are able to do those via customs race but the lack of Cr incentive and time to set things on the go each time with a not so competitive IA breaks the deal for me.
I never got why we have an historic cars cup but not such thing for the racing cars one’s. I mean since GTS not being able to use those unicorns in a « fair » race is so infuriating. Sure I can race those somewhere but it never feel appropriate choice.
A new 10 missions set someday ?
I genuinely don’t rule those out since we had things added to the Music Rally so…
But mostly I don’t know how to help or engage with people about the games update as of now. I get the point of everyone but mostly if you have never been satisfied of one single updated thing since launch then why do you still keep of hoping for something ?
If the good never had a win over the bad in what was served to you stop dinning at that restaurant I guess?
Or eat in silence ? I don’t know where the analogy will go but…
That car is s’’´´ why they don’t add X !!
Oh a new VGT , go burn in hell sinner !
Those are the lowest of complaints and I concede I will never be able to adress those saying it.
Of you go in me history you will say that I felt like that in some way on past update but that behavior should stop so far away feom launch regarding expectations.
Cheers to all and see you on the 7th for another round
Guess the only one's who is "buying gt8 alpha/beta" is/will be kid's....
