Απόσπασμα: It's been a rough couple of weeks for PlayStation's newest flagship racing game. After an update inadvertently rendered Gran Turismo 7 essentially inoperable for about 30 hours, the game became playable again but to countless players' ire, many in-game event credit payouts had been dramatically nerfed. This led to accusations of pushing people towards the game's relatively pricey microtransactions (in which players would trade real-life money for in-game credits) and a strategic bait-and-switch. Pre-release review copies—including, in the interest of full disclosure, the one played by yours truly—were played without microtransactions activated and doled out the original, more generous payouts. Fortunately, the game's creators have apparently heard the outrage loud-and-clear and are promising some serious course corrections. In a PlayStation Blog post, GT creator and Polyphony Digital boss Kazunori Yamauchi apologized for the fiasco and announced a free 1,000,000 credits for players who owned the game before the day of this announcement as a "goodwill gesture." The million-credit gift should be rolling out now and those who'd like to take advantage must log into the game sometime between now and April 25. What's more, Yamauchi has also promised a patch scheduled for early April that will both add more events and bump up payouts.
