The only thing that is exclusive to the lootboxes in Forza is the Driver Gear for customizing your own personal Driver. Every single car within the packs you can buy with your own credits, as well as the fact that they dont use real world money to be bought. So you're right, it's not the same, it's a bit worse of a situation.
However, It does nothing to impact the actual game so if people want a shortcut that's all them.
For everyone talking about this, its amazing how completely wrong they are. A little research goes a long way.

I like this MT stuff. I'm gonna by $10 worth to help support PD and future development of GTS.
But Spa better be in the next update!

GOOD. There's no way I'm driving/grinding BMB, that track sucks TBH. Paying 0.99 for a car is nothing, people pay$14 for COD maps or $10 every few months for Fortnite Battle Passes

Another lie by ImaRobot
GTS has given near 60 cars and 5 tracks. Did Forza 7?
Show me one DLC car/track that has been simply copy and pasted from previous games
GTS cars/tracks are different models or have been retouched.
Let me know when a new GT launches with enough cars and tracks

If you can sell cars that you purchase from the PlayStation store, then people will buy cars with their real money then sell them in the game, then use the credits they gain to buy >2,000,000 cars.
Personally, I wish they would sell the avatar pack. I bought the standard digital addition and I've been wishing I had one of those sweet GT avatars

It did last year. As evidenced by the number of people here who enjoyed it. Since then it's only got better, to such a degree i have played it more than any other game the past year.
I understand where you are coming from, but that is old GT. GT Sport is a online racing game not a collectors grind feast dream. We have plenty of fantastic games that does that job very well.

You should really read the things you reply to. I said when Forza was facing the same issue before, low content on a new release, they also gave away a lot of free content as well. They gave an equivalent 5-6 months worth of dlc if you would count it like you would a monthly pack and that they gave away two tracks. However I’m not arguing that anyways, you are, just to step aside from the fact that you’re a hypocrite about the whole situation. A distraction really, to try to ignore the fact about what you’ve said about micro transaction in the past.

I'm not the one using free DLC as an excuse for having microtransactions. Is your next excuse the Photomode?
No excuse. Telling you bluntly, 6 months free DLC speaks and means more than PD introducing MT.
Its pretty funny how the same few posters try so desperately to undermine GTS. Meanwhile in reality GTS is on track on being the second best selling racing game of this generation, and is the most active racer online.
Stop beating around the bush and answer the question

I hate MT's but GT sport is actually not as bad per say compared to BF1 or other games.
In BF1 your given stupid tasks just to unlock a few weapons.
Im trying to unlock the Parabellum MG14 suppressive I already did one task but the other task is stupid where you have to repair 50 vehicles given state of play in multiplayer it feels stupid.
I will never pay for MTs I feel like grinding gives me a sort of achievement. But some games are literally made hard so they force you to pay.
Still disappointed in GTS getting MT's some fans no doubt feel betrayed. But its Sony as they call the shots.

They didn't need to, they managed to get them in game at launch even without delaying a game for an entire year! You can wag the whole free DLC thing around as much as you want, at the end of the day for the amount of time it took for them to shovel the game out all the content they've added really should have been in at launch and in fact most of it was probably ready or extremely close to ready at launch. Or am I expected to believe PD suddenly found some magic technique that allowed them to model a car in a fraction of the time it used to?

Rather get old cars from past games as free dlc rather than paying for it. T10 was doing this until fans caused an uprising. At times T10 tries to sell old cars as dlc. Codemaster also done this with Grid Autosport.
Pure greed and lies. Especially when they say the car was made from scratch but has detail problems from past forza games.

PD isn't innocent in doing that either, or are we forgetting the race mod DLC in GT5?
I doubt there was suddenly enough resources to model as many cars as they have in such a limited time, especially since they started rolling them out shortly after launch and you can only have so many cooks in the kitchen spoil the soup.
Also, "use you head"?

Why don't we ease up on pushing this narrative a little bit, huh? Of those 60 cars, around 20 or so are genuinely new to the series whereas the overwhelming majority are those returning from GT6. If you want to play this game, though I don't know why you or anyone else would as you're quibbling over semantics;
Or, to go several steps backward, at launch FM7 included the FXX K, P1, P1 GTR, 911 Turbo, BAC Mono, TVR Sagaris, and the '17 Ford GT just to name a few — where are those cars in GT Sport?
Case in point, settle down in leaping to the defense of a franchise (and company) that doesn't need, nor will ever see it at every possible opportunity. I genuinely do not understand why some people feel threatened in situations such as these; there's nothing passionate about this.

It's a poor comparison all round because FM7 had something like 600 cars anyway from the get go, granted they were locked.
And 2ndly FM7 had a plethora of tracks also from the get go. They didnt need to go 6 months of free DLC to 'catch up'.
Granted there's a whole slew of Turn10 nonsense in the background like locked cars etc. etc.
People will get emotional and rally behind their 'team'. Look at the way things go when its a Ford vs. Chevy vs. Dodge type battle if its sports coupes or trucks etc. or Apple vs. Android phones or Mac vs PC.
Its hard for some people to remain objective... also these are huge multinationals who really dont need anyones' defence because its all about business.
I admit I have a fair bit of disdain for the way things go for Microsoft however have a reasonable amount of sympathy for PD. That's just the way I feel about it.
