as a viewer trackside at Albert Park, it was fantastic to be back

that’s potential microtransaction money lost

To get you buying those sweet, sweet microtransactions of course.

“Most of the game also requires an internet connection to play, even in single-player, supposedly to help cut down on cheating.”

Yep I play video games to escape real life.

But this game is extremely realistic in that I’m driving around in a Honda Civic and I can only dream about driving the nice cars.

A Youtuber/influencer behaving like a narcissistic, entitled, wanker?

“In GT7 I would like to have users enjoy lots of cars and races even without microtransactions. At the same time, the pricing of cars is an important element that conveys their value and rarity, so I do think it’s important for it to be linked with real-world prices.”

No shit. I read this part and it even pissed me off more. What a dick move from Choi.

I don’t understand this. If that had been my car, my socially inept self would not be able to setup a go-fund-me account and get actual money out of it.

Someone pointed this out in the other article, but Choi’s video should be flagged/demonetized for containing dangerous/illegal acts. You don’t even have to click into it to flag it on mobile (I hope that avoids giving him any revenue or any sort of engagement).

Please start a Go-Fund-Me to retain a good lawyer and sue the fuck out of the dipshit Tesla driver (and get the kitty taken away from him) instead.  Name as co-defendants every Musk-besotted moron who witnessed the wreck then failed to do anything about the driver absconding.

I am glad this person figured out a way to fund the purchase of a replacement vehicle but hopefully he is also pursuing legal and insurance claims against the driver and whoever else was involved with this crash.

If I were a dealer I’d look into installing as many fast DC chargers as possible. Those that buy from me get 1 year of free fast charging (for 45 min at a time per day).

So are capitalists whining about being forced to innovate.

it’s almost like sony looked at how well Horizon 5 did and how players were cool with microtransactions and didn’t think WHY players were fine with it.

It’s not the licensing cost. It’s BS like how the cost of how some of the older 1990s/2000s car now cost 3x+ more in the GT7 used dealership then it was new in the older games.

i’m sure horse carriage dealers bitched incessantly 100 years ago too.

One of my best friends from high school as well as a cousin each have dealerships. They are good people who do a lot for the local community.

What’s amazing is the difference between Horizon 5 and GT 7, if one of them was going to have overbearing microtransactions that ruin the game I would have expected it to be the one on Gamepass since most of its players didn’t “pay” for it and thus wouldn’t be as stung at the microtransactions since to them it was a…
