Wait a second. Possible? Hell, look at the PS1, PS2 and PS3. Sony never failed us! Always gave us great games, long support and quality products (PS3 a bit expensive).  Don't doubt our almighty lord!

 

GT5 long support, GT6 micro-transactions.


Look how well GT6 has sold, I think Sony learned a lesson. That wasn't a smart move of them :/


Ending GT5 support so soon wasn't so smart, either.

Additionally I doubt GT6 didn't sell well because of microtransactions.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with microtransactions in a free to play game.

That said, this is speculation, and it also has nothing to do with GT6.

I don't know if I should panic because a new GG game might include Microtransaction of some sort, or if I should be in awe because GG are actually hiring, I was sure Sony was only firing people nowadays.

I baught ps4 in that promise. But most of the people are now impatient. Gotta admit ps3 after 2008 was super awesome but pre 2008 era it was a disaster.

This is just something that Shu said about microtransactions.  I'm going to have to say, I trust Shu, and I don't think this is an issue.  

 

Update: On his Twitter feed, President of Sony's Worldwide Studios Shuhei Yoshida defended microtransactions in Gran Turismo 6 by saying that "the game is just offering an alternative path to busy people" and to "read [the GT6] reviews when they come out."

"Microtransaction per se is not a bad thing," he went on to write. "How the game is designed around it could become a problem."

I hate to see when a level 1 player has more perks than me thanks to microtransactions.

What were the microtransactions in GT6 about?


AFAIR faster progress and special car deals with cars not unlockable via success but via $$ but I could be wrong.

I think in the end it was like "well, at least it's not so bad because Forza 5 is worse!".
