GT 7 Servers are still down...

**** happens in IT but this downtime is really long.

Guess what's going on.

Simpaty for the guys working on this right now, it must not be a pleasant experience for sure.
Possibly they've clicked the "restore" button and are literally looking at "98 hours remaining" counter, sweating and praying.
 
I feel that the fact the servers are STILL DOWN strongly indicate that the 4th March release date was in some ways TOO EARLY - I get the impression that they wanted it to be released towards the end of 2022. The cracks and bugs are already being identified (they would have been nullified if the game released say November/December 2022). However, how would everyone feel if they announced that the game wasn’t ready and that they would take back copies (disc and digital) and fix/rework the game to make it smoother for a later release date (yes I know something like this would most definitely not happen but here’s hoping I guess) with a smoother game?
 
Kaz is smoking a lot of cigarretes for sure right now.

To all the butt hurt complainers who are upset that they can’t play their new game:

yeah it’s annoying but you must realise Japan was hit by an earthquake yesterday, although Kaz has said that the servers and PD are ok there’s quit a lot of other infrastructure in Japan that is currently without power. So quite complaining, it’ll get fixed. It’s not like when we went without PSN 24 days back in 2014.

Any worldwide game can't be played from Japan-located servers only, there should be DC's all over the world. Possibly earthquake is not affecting the infrastructure at all.

If it had to do with the earthquake, PD should simply state that and we would all be full of compassion.
 
I think this is really ridiculous right now I understand there was an earthquake in Japan I understand there was a 15 minute gap where people got into the game before the servers went back off and saw some leaks of money transactions that were cut I understand that they sent out tweets yesterday telling us the server has been extended due to a massive bug I understand but now 24 hours in I think it’s time that we get a tweet or some information to know what’s going on for something we paid money for

Yes would be amazed if there's no compensation awarded here. As in credits, cars or something like that. Basic customer service really after an unplanned outage like this.

I'd be happy with more races, improved economy though.
I don't think they've ever done such a generous thing with outages in the past, so...

This is all very much standard procedure for PD, leave them in the dark, and don't rush by any means.
 
PD forgot to buy enough CO² certificates for all the cars.
Now they have been forced by the environmental mafia to go offline and order more... Unfortunately, there aren't enough for sale at the moment.
 
Pure speculation alert!
I suspect that while the game servers are fine, the development servers/team have been affected by the quake.....
Which would reduce their choices to : run a damaged game or keep the servers offline until development can upload the patched version....
