Gran Turismo 7 goes offline and comes back stingier
Polyphony Digital’s PlayStation racing sim reminded everyone why always-online games are a drag when it went offline for multiple days shortly after its March release. The sin was compounded when Gran Turismo 7 came back only for its races to dish out fewer credits upon completion. “I would like to apologize for the frustration and confusion caused last week with our patch updates which resulted in, not only a server outage but also adjustments to the in-game economy which were made without a clear explanation to our community,” series creator Kazunori Yamauchi wrote in a PlayStation blog post. He pledged to bring back more generous payouts and gave players 1,000,000 free credits to make amends.
