Where the update makes you cringe is that it also introduces certain price changes. In any case, this is what a user of GTPlanet which recalls that at the launch of Gran Turismo 7, 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 1992 Ferrari F40 goes from 1,350,000 to 2,600,000 credits, an increase of 1,250,000 credits. There is also the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL (W194) from 1952 which goes from 11,000,000 to 13,000,000 credits, an increase of 2,000,000 credits. As you might expect, haircuts can be counted on the knuckles of a finger. There is the 1964 Aston Martin DB5, which goes from 970,000 to 941,000 credits, or the Porsche Spyder Type 550/1500RS from 1955 which goes from 5,000,000 to 4,500,000 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 gamequipped one of them. This game is truly the ultimate car simulation.“Others claim that they did not already appreciate the Hagerty company and that this kind of maneuver will certainly not change their minds. In short, a new controversy for Gran Turismo 7 which would certainly have been fine without it .
