Selling well doesn't mean jack when it was obvious that the game was rushed to meet an October release date. And besides, we know it's going to sell well. But it doesn't address the elephant in the room that the game came out with a lack of content and Polyphony expected to mask that with focusing on online.
And besides, said content fails to take into account that this is the exact same career mode that would have been in the game and we would have enevitably complained about because of stupid AI that follows the racing line. AKA, what needed to be changed, instead of throwing the baby out with the bath water.
GT has lagged behind other competition on consoles for years now and show no signs of budging on rebuilding on what needs to be done, instead chasing cheap tricks and trying to recenter what the series means into a console clone of iRacing with official FIA designations that do jack ****. But of course, when you have a head strong leader at the helm like Kaz, where everything is hunky dory and everybody is chasing him. Newsflash, they aren't chasing him in anything but graphics. In fact, it's the opposite. And even the one trump card that Polyphony has, graphics, certainly pails in comparison to practical graphics like weather effects like Project CARS 2 and even DRIVECLUB have done.
