I paid 100 Euros for the game….

[alex511]

And have the right, to get news in this case how the solving of the problem goes on when I can’t use my product in the ordered form. Absolutely not okay what they are doing…!

 

[Gt79]

Sooooon

 

[ebadevil]

Sooooon

Soon™

 

[m76]

First off, why did you pay €100 for the game. Second, I think every player has the right to more information, than just a one line text saying they are working on it, after the planned 2 hours maintenance has turned into over 12 hours now.

In Germany the anniversary costs 99,99€..

AND, I bought me 1year PS+ on top…..

 

[Gt79]

Well he paid 20 euro for that extra cash and avatars🤣
Game cost 80 euro in Europe vs 60 euro in usa lol

Their social media accounts are probably not even aware of any issues and people actually working at PD are busy enough trying to fix the damn thing.
I remember the GT5 and early GT6 days where GT wasn't active anywhere on the internet and all stuff you were able to rely on was basically some pop-ups ingame. While their communication is still mediocre at best, it's a trillion times better than ~10 years ago.

I paid 100€ for my Steelbook Edition too (and another 600€ for my PS5) and I didn't regret it a second. It's how games are these days and if something goes wrong then that's how it is. The only thing I can do is wait and hope for a quick fix ¯\(ツ)/¯

GT now has offices around the world and communication over Sony, so no one can explain me, they are not able to post any more message out, when not Kaz hisself.
It’s not game xy, it’s THE Gran Turismo..

I wanted the steelbook, too..

I collect steelbook-editions..

Man, European VAT is straight up robbery

 

[Pigems]

I bought a PS5 and the game, so I’m out just over $1000 CAD while not being able to play right now. While their communication definitely sucks, I’m just happy they are trying to fix it quickly, people have absolutely no patience anymore.

i swear the gt community is a bunch of boomers, acting like this is the only game in existence to have maintenance, just shut up

That's like paying 100 euro to get into a club, which raises the prices of drinks and then doesn’t even let you past the bouncer

The issue is not the maintenance. It's that they can't play any of the offline, single player part of the game. Everyone knows and expects maintenance to take out online play.

 

[Wheatybic]

no, that would be like seeing a sign saying club is closed from 5-7 and still paying 100 euros to get in and being mad when nothing is going on, good try though. yes it's extended but this extension is very rare so don't even bother

No, it'd be like closing the whole club and not letting anyone in because the lightbulb in the broom closest is broken.

That's such a defeatist attitude

 

[Nuschel01]

That's such a defeatist attitude

It's the truth tho. Ever since the PS3 days developers could easily push out DLCs and updates online and thus didn't need to get the game 99% right when it went gold. While that also made fixing game breaking glitches/bugs possible that went unnoticed during development it also meant that a lot of games are now a service based thing that is either fed with content for years to come or will only get a few fixes and then be abandoned by the developers just like in the old days.
With stuff like the digital version of the PS5 it will only get worse over time, taking away the possibility to buy used games and making players rely on the store being online and kept alive. If it isn't you're left with a once-expensive and now worthless piece of electronics junk (looking at you, PSvita).
It has nothing to do with my attitude, it's a fact.

So why did you do that? I hope you don't complain about MTX when you literally payed extra for in-game credits.

Also, you coulda just bought a monthly subscription to PS+... 🤷‍♂️

You would know, your whole country bounced from lockdown to lockdown because of the flu

I wrote, i wanted the steelbook edition, because of I am a collector..

 

[Gt79]

Well now your collection is collecting dust

and you own a ps5?

 

[Nuschel01]

and you own a ps5?

Disc version, yes.

Also, you coulda just bought a monthly subscription to PS+

That is double the price per year than buying the one-year-subscription directly?

because of the flu

Congrats, you've just proven you have no idea.

 

[wheelhp]

why bother playing if 'its getting worse' you believe the ps5 is trash ?

 

[Nuschel01]

[...] you believe the ps5 is trash ?

Don't turn around words in my mouth and read again what I said. Thanks

 

[federicobj]

Its ridiculous...I bought a game 12 days ago, and now I cant play it offline a hole day just for server maintenance, what a rip off

 

[Scaff]

i swear the gt community is a bunch of boomers, acting like this is the only game in existence to have maintenance, just shut up

It's the only sim-racing title that stops me from playing over 90% of it when it's undergoing maintenance.

Oh, and when you joined you agreed to follow the AUP, which is quite clear that blanket insults such as this are unacceptable, as is telling members to 'shut up'.

 

[Streeto]

I know, that's the price of convenience, it's the same with car insurance plans etc. He was upset about paying a large chunk of money at one time, paying monthly is more manageable for some people, spreading out costs is a thing people do.

 

[Nuschel01]

I can make virtual piggy banks in my banking app and could transfer 5€ each month into one named PS+.

If you speak so, you couldn’t buy a dsl internet flat..
