Gran Turismo 7 players slam \u201cabsurd\u201d microtransactions after devs increase car prices Polyphony DigitalPolyphone Digital appears to be changing the prices of many of Gran Turismo 7\u2019s top-end Legend Cars, causing players to accuse the game of \u201cquietly reverting it back to how bad it was at launch.\u201d We said in our Gran Turismo 7 review that it was a \u201cmust-play, must-own, masterpiece,\u201d and that\u2019s because the action and intensity it delivers on the track is unbelievable. However, the game has not been without controversy since it launched, with the notable credits controversy rocking the community, forcing the devs to apologize and offer a gesture of good faith to say sorry. This seemed to tide things over and get the game and its players back on the same page. This hasn\u2019t lasted long though as a fresh problem has arisen following GT7\u2019s 1.15 update on May 26 that sees many already expensive cars become even grindier to obtain. Gran Turismo 7 Legend Cars price controversy The game\u2019s Hagerty\u2019s Legends Car dealership rotates some absolute classic vehicles for players to buy in exchange for a lot of credits. The community has never had too many issues with their price tags, given that they are supposed to be rare vehicles.

Hagerty is an American company that provides car insurance and valuation for classic cars and has also sponsored many historic car events in recent years. The new prices will be applied from the next lineup update. The next pricing revision is planned for August 2022.\u201d Some investigative datamining on the GT Planet forum has revealed some of the price changes that have already been enforced, as well as ones that can be expected with the August 2022 price revision. Whilst some cars have actually had their price decreased, the Porsche Spyder Type 550\/1500RS was 5,000,000 Cr. and is now 4,500,000 Cr., many have been increased with the Mercedez-Benz 300 SL (W194) being the biggest casualty going from 11,000,000 Cr. to 13,000,000 Cr! A Reddit user quickly voiced their opinion on the matter and has calculated that the price changes have represented an overall increase of these Legend Cars by \u201c6,487,900 Cr. and counting.\u201d The OP said: \u201cKind of miffed, the state of the game\u2019s economy even with Tomahawk wasn\u2019t great, and this feels like they\u2019re quietly reverting it back to how bad it was at launch,\u201d and the sentiments were echoed by another user who offered: \u201cHonestly. I grinded with the Tomahawk. I got a ton of cash to upgrade regular street cars. Got a few legendary ones. Feels like that\u2019s it. Idk why they feel the need to make this game so impossible to have fun.\u201d Read More: Does Gran Turismo 7 have free roam? – Another commenter was firmer in their stance: \u201cI have honestly never seen a more scummy move by a developer to push people towards purchasing their absurdly overpriced microtransactions\u2026 Hide a trophy behind three absurdly overpriced digital cars and then add insult to injury by dramatically increasing their prices every few months.\u201d It seems like Polyphony Digital hasn\u2019t quite learned their lesson from the Credits controversy, and unless they backtrack on this issue as well, they could be in serious danger of alienating the player base.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
