Where the update makes you cringe is that it also introduces certain price changes. In any case, this is what a user of GTPlanet believes, who recalls that when Gran Turismo 7 was launched, Sony Interactive Entertainment had concluded an agreement with Hagerty, an insurance company specializing in the automobile. The purpose of this partnership? Revise the price of legendary vehicles based on their real-life rating. Thus, after having datamined the last update, the guy noticed that 62 cars were concerned. 27 of them will see their price increase (if it has not already been done), 21 will keep the same price, and 2 will see their price decrease (if it has not already done so).
Some hikes are clearly a headache. For example, the 40 Ferrari F1992 goes from 1 to 350 credits, an increase of 000 credits. There is also the 2 Mercedes-Benz 600 SL (W000) which goes from 1 to 250 credits, an increase of 000 credits. As you might expect, haircuts can be counted on the knuckles of a finger. There is the 300 Aston Martin DB194 which goes from 1952 to 11 credits, or the 000 Porsche Spyder Type 000/13RS which goes from 000 to 000 credits.
Obviously, the reaction of the players was not long in coming, and many of them believe that Polyphony Digital considers them to be cash cows, because by acting in this way, the studio pushes them towards microtransactions. "Inflation is even present in the game, quips one of them. This game is really the ultimate car simulation." Others claim that they didn't like the Hagerty company already and that this kind of maneuver is certainly not going to change their minds. In short, a new controversy for Gran Turismo 7 which would certainly have been fine.
