Since Gran Turismo 7 was released, there have been flaws regarding the availability of the cars. Meanwhile earning money fast was difficult and comparing the prize pool of GT7 Sports races is only 10% of that of Gran Turismo Sport, the "Dirt Champion/King - Fisherman’s Ranch" Event was the best farming event. We expected improvement from the 1.07 Update, but we saw the greatest impertinence by Polyphony Digital/PS Studios and Kazunori Yamauchi which he reaffirmed with his statement afterwards in which he dodged the issue with sentences we could barely relate. We have been seldomly so shocked by an update of any game and never expected that would be the case with Gran Turismo.

I am someone who played Gran Turismo since the third edition and since Gran Turismo 6 we see a move from dedicating your work to the Fans and Players and simultaneously money to only more money using the good reputation of this game until GT5.

We demand change, in an update that should come as soon as possible. With this I just don't want to come forward with our demands but also propose some for you, so you still make gains and with that both sides can smile and get along.

• Every prize money for events which have been decreased in the 1.07/1.08 Update should be either undone or increased based on pre-1.06.
• Increase the Prize Money Pool of Sport Races bringing them to the level of GT Sport
• Create a championship or similar to the Red Bull X Championship in Gran Turismo 6 where you can earn approximately 1 million in 15 minutes.
• Abolish invitations to purchase cars in new cars dealerships as absolutely nobody needs that and it also harms your earnings since players can spend less with them
• More valuable prize cars for each event including Missions, and don't limit that at World Races just to a car of the "Car Menus", for example - make a AMG Mercedes CLK-GTR winnable, or a Jaguar XJ13
• Make cars at Hagerty available longer so there is opportunity to buy a car with a double-digit million tag
• Based on the proposal regarding Hagerty: Increase the maximum credits balance to 50 million like in GT6 so players also can save money for it and don't have to spend it instantly (Imagine the XJ13 and other double-digit cars appear simultaneously.)
• For the wealthy players/fans since I think we need to represent all, (MTX is not bad as long as the ones who don't want to spend more money because they can't don’t become affected, so the majority): More Credits for sale with a lower price tag the more the credits are. (Look at Rockstar Games/GTA V, 8 million dollars for 75€ is enough to buy the most expensive vehicles)
• If the servers are down, don't unnecessarily take down the entire game limiting it to races at just 16 tracks, 13 cars of which none is one of our own and the Music Rally. Limit the Always-Online functionality to the Sport Mode and the Lobby

We believe that you believe that we the majority are "gamers by employment" or people who have no real life. If true then you got it absolutely wrong. I would like to remind you, Mr. Yamauchi, Polyphony Digital, PS Studios or whoever is in charge of considering the proposals listed in this petition, that we all have a family, friends, job and more important free-time activities to pursue and do not want to spend the most time of our life on buying a McLaren F1 for a pathetic 18,5 Million CR during this state of the economy.

With these suggestions implemented, we all can get along. Furthermore, think about the future regarding the fans being forced to buy Microtransactions-related money, do you think they would buy a GT8 or a successor while they know you might do this again? Nobody wants that as you can quote that in Metacritic or GTPlanet.net and they may consider other alternatives to GT like Assetto Corsa or even worse - buy a XBOX and play Forza Horizon/Motorsport. This is solely on your cap and no one else if that case comes into effect.

Regards,

A Gran Turismo Fan.
