As late as it is, that's the most communicative post I've seen regarding a game update and future plans from Kaz or PD.
À l'attention de tous nos joueurs - Informations - Gran Turismo 7 - gran-turismo.com
Je tenais à expliquer ce qui s'est passé dans cette mise à jour.Tout de suite après la sortie de la mise à jour 1.07, nous avons découvert un bug qui faisait que le jeu ne se lançait pas correctement dans certains cas, sur PS4™ et PS5™.Il s'agit d'un bug rare qui n'a pas été remarqué lors des...www.gran-turismo.com
From Kaz

It sounds like it ran the risk of corrupting save data if you encountered this bug though. Still annoying but if you were one of the people affected I'm sure you'd be more annoyed than you are now.

I definitely agree with aligning all the races based on duration/distance so we won't get bored running a single race. That being said, the credits are really low.
What is not clear to me is if there will ever be a highest paying option per minute than the ones we have now. I tried to read behind the words of the statement, nowhere is it mentioned/implied that in the future we will have better ways to purchase a car we want.
The important thing to get from Kaz's apology is that the backlash about the nerf on high paying races is known to them. Whether they already have something prepared or they will change their approach for next updates to resolve this is known only to PD.

"We will in time let you know the update plans for additional content, additional race events and additional features that will constructively resolve this."
Maybe he's hinting at seasonal or other special events? It seems like he's hinting at something that aimed at stopping the grinding requirement.

Well, at least one poor sap had his game wiped clean. The Forza 6 demo borked the FFB on the freaking XBone itself - and the release game too! But as bad as it was, it was so rare, no one had ever heard of it. I'll have to say that I've had rare, unique bugs on just about every system from PC to console, all consoles. Just here and there, and the lion's share on PC, but it's just a fact that even console technology, which should be as tight and bulletproof as it gets, isn't perfect.

Don't want to get too excited but just drove tge previously almost on ice rinks m4 ,5 laps around deep forest on abs, tcs0 and sports softs... Great fun. Still oversteer and give, but didn't spin once. Was able to let back loose on purpose, then where it would usually go into unrecoverable spin, i was able to bring in back In each time
Don't want to get carried away, but felt awesome! Just what I wanted from rwd performance car. 1.08. Can't see any notes about it in update list?

I think if they had detected those bugs and were able to fix them before release, they probably would have done so.
Besides, I don't think you're making the point you're trying to here. Doesn't the fact that they took the game offline for this bug, but not the other bugs, imply that this new bug had significantly more impact than the old ones? Rare isn't a number, it could mean 1/1000 for example.
You're basically just speculating without any real evidence that the bug probably wasn't worth shutting the game down for over a day.

They added barriers to the bus stop at Daytona to stop corner cuts. Not saying that was worth a 30 hour wait but I am happy they addressed that particular cheat.

FFS!The little mini cooper race is down to 12,000 plus CRB.
Ive not opened up Fishermans ranch yet so my go to races are GR4 HSR and the mini cooper race at Goodwood.
No goodwill gesture then from PD?It really is about the money isnt it,much as i love the game and series this GT is starting to stink.There was no reason to lower payouts.As for his comment `
Its a game,as i said elsewhere.Not real life sim,whatever next.What exactly does he mean with the comment about not replaying events?

At the same time the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it’s important for it to be linked with the real world prices.I want to make GT7 a game in which you can enjoy a variety of cars lots of different ways, and if possible would like to try to avoid a situation where a player must mechanically keep replaying certain events over and over again.Its a game,as i said elsewhere.Not real life sim,whatever next.What exactly does he mean with the comment about not replaying events?

I knew there was a 40k in there somewhere. I thought it was FR at 40k too.

I literally cannot be bothered to play anymore as a real GT fan seeing this.
Boring streamlined forced menu's complete
All licenses golded
All missions golded
No big credit time consuming (but rewarding) endurance races for credits (the WTC800 post menus snoozefest event isn't relevant here).
Bought the special edition for the credits at launch, got that up to about 6mil ... bought road cars I liked, maxed them out with tunes ... and now to grind back it would take me hours upon hours of boring and pretty short AI races with small rewards.
The 20mil cars seem an absolute joke with the current state of the game.
More concerning is switching over to Sport mode, getting into some good races but deep lying issues with PP system being abused by gear ratios (!) and corner cutting on qualifying. PD please just make Race C a BoP no tuning event. Sport mode cannot become "who has the best tune mode"

Whilst I'm very appreciative of Kaz giving a heartfelt response in that post, it doesn't solve the problem at hand that many players now have.
Lowering payouts is not the solution for getting other players to play other events. The solution is to RAISE the others up to match/surpass it.
I get it, you don't want to give everything on a silver-platter ala Forza Horizon, and its a good thing that it doesn't. I wouldn't want everything right away. That being said, with the change in payouts to where we are now? Even this is too excessive.
Fisherman's Ranch, whether PD likes it or not, still is the best way to make money in Gran Turismo 7 at the moment. Problem is, its now much worse off. What would take one race to make just shy of 100,000 with the Clean Race bonus, now takes 3 races to make the same amount. TRIPLING the amount of time it takes is just ridiculous, personally.
As many of us players, we naturally tend to go to events that help us earn money the quickest. It isn't because we're naive or ignorant of the fact that other events exist, hell many of us (myself included) would love to do every single event that Gran Turismo 7 has to offer. Its just that we simply don't have the TIME. And the adjusted payouts makes the time that we do have much, much worse.
With the amount of events there currently is, the payouts should be raised so that players would actually feel ENCOURAGED to race elsewhere. If Fisherman's Ranch was serving as a benchmark, it should've been kept as such. The longer events might still be longer, but by making the payouts worth the extra time, it would get players to actually want to go out of their way to race 'em. Plus.. we really need MORE events in general. When you finish the Cafe, you only get an extra handful of events and that's it.
And if anything, Custom races and Sport Mode NEED better payouts, BIG TIME. This is where players will likely get the most replayability out of the game, but there just isn't enough of a reason to go out of our ways to do them with the payouts for such events being as low as they are. Especially on the Sport Mode front. I naturally would've expected notably larger payouts for beating actual racers. Not any sort of A.I. "chase the rabbit" sort of thing, but by being faster than real-world players with real world emotions. Why should I only receive about $20,000 for that if I'm lucky enough to have a clean race?
If the end of Kaz's article is anything to go by, I'm hoping that there will be events that come out that have better payouts.
Hell, I hope for the return of Seasonal events or even the Daily Login bonus. Those two things would make a huge difference and I feel would ease much of the pain of grinding right now.
I believe in PD because of how much Gran Turismo means to me, personally. I just want to see them get it right and make it where players will be happy, because that's ultimately what will keep the game running healthy over time. Please, PD.
