The silence of PD in the last days

I'm only putting my two cents in, but I find the "statement" that was released last week to very telling. After reading it several time, then taking the time to go back and watch several interviews with Kazunori Yamauchi, I don't believe, for a second, he wrote this. The language feels wrong, like someone trying to word things like him. My guess is some PR puke wrote it to be full of nothing and the company put Kaz's name on it. Any other thoughts?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Being so scarce on communication with this amount of angry/frustrated/duped customers is effectively killing this franchise, right now. This has gone from bad, to worse, to a complete and utter nightmare for everyone involved.
Not acting on it soon will be nailing this coffin shut.

I don't think it's an indication of anything other than PD not caring much.
There's no reason Kaz couldn't give us some info.
The fact that he didn't, and we seemingly have to wait for info before we get new content, tells me we still have some waiting to do before anything improves.

Personally I would rather they work in silence and fix any problems or add more content instead of hit a blog every day repeating the same description of what they are working on.

I feel Sony is behind this .
Hear me out , MTX have existed since GT6 but Kaz and Crew litteraly did everything possible to make it redundant , GT6 and sport had options to turn it off too..
In GT6 all the VGT Seasonal events paid out One million credits if you got gold and gave you the VGT for just finishing the event . GT sport gave you cars every day , and credits were easy to come by.
Stop ignoring the fact PD is the LAST major japanese dev sony has and this game was the first PD game under Sony studios which is a COLABORATIVE led by sony usa.
I smell a sabotage .

It only takes one person to write up a post outlining their future plans and upcoming content. A few more people to translate into various languages. It wouldn't affect development in any significant way. Even less if they have someone whose job is specifically community interaction.

They were posting a ton on social media until the outage. Sometimes they posted a few times a day. Now it has been silent for a week.
Hopefully the next post is addressing their fans.

I think they are working to release more single player content over time, which will appease some people who aren't bothered by the grind, but PD will do very little to address the core design issues many of us have been bringing up. Would love to be proven wrong, but that's my guess.

Silence isn't bad. Look at a blundered release like No Man's Sky. People thought the devs abandoned the game entirely, and cried out for interaction. They were just hard at work.
Only time will tell in GT7s case, but silence isn't a definite sign that things are doomed. Especially considering they've never been the chatty type.

No Man’s Sky was made by Hello Games, who overpromised and originally underdelivered. That was to be expected from a devteam that previously made side-scrolling and iOS games, with the scope of a project like No Mans Sky.
This is PD we’re talking about. This game is supposed to be a celebration of 25 years of one of PlayStations biggest successes.
It’s extremely bad, I’m afraid..

Bud PD and Kaz have two decades of incompetance out of touch bad decisions lacking features BS excuses and delivering underwhelming results that tell us its all them. Plus they already tried this **** with GT HD.
Also there is the simple fact no other sony games have any of this BS, even ones that just released.
MTX pricing would not even matter had the fool Kaz not made the price of cars reflect real world markets. Thats all him bud, typical unnecessary bs that everyone hates in a long list of Kaz wants.

I was expecting some sort of news regarding an update, but there's still time left in the week. I'm not really holding my breath at this point though, I'm already looking at other sims to fill the void. Does the career mode work offline in GTS?

My biggest concern is that maybe the don't have the actual plans ready, or else i belive they would have shared them allready during the interview.

No
well..for their long term plans...
silence is one of them. On the other hand, they probably sold enough copies 🤣🤣🤣, so they dont care about us...if you want to have special cars you will pay MT, players that play 2 hours/ week...will probably throw away game or buy those millions
but on our " players " long term plans, PD has dig in pretty big loads of S#$%....🤣🤣🤣 so next game will get path downward...they will feel " long lasting plans"
