It has been announced that Gran Turismo 7 will be receiving a number of changes to the quantity of in-game currency earned through race rewards. In addition, in order to quell some of the anger following a recent post-launch patch that sent the rewards system out of whack, players who log in between now and April 25 will get 1 million credits for free.
All this comes via an official post on the PlayStation Blog from president of Polyphony Digital Kazunori Yamauchi, in which he thanks the community for supporting the game and apologises for the recent server outages that locked players out of the game as well as not communicating to the players before readjusting the reward system into its current unpopular state.
The patch in question was an attempt to fix “inconsistent rewards payouts within a part of the World Circuit Events” according to this blog post. The claim made is that in order to do so, it was necessary to “recalculate the rewards system as a whole” which in turn resulted in the unfavourable situation players currently find themselves in.
