Next Gran Turismo Will Not Come With Any Cars or Tracks!!
In what is an incredibly amazing development, an interview in the Japanese Famitsu magazine with Kazunori Yamauchi has revealed that the next installment of Sony's Gran Turismo series will be an online game with no cars or tracks! Instead you will have to buy the rest of the game online via micropayments. Cars will sell for $1 or less, and tracks will be $5 or less. 1up.com has done some of the math, and if the amount of cars and tracks are equal to previous GT games this new micropayment GT will cost gamers around A THOUSAND DOLLARS for the same content that we got for $50 before.
The fact that Sony is making a racing game that has no cars or tracks is inconceivable, but there is still a chance that this game will come free with the PS3 or some other way. The "premium" version isn't much better since you only get 30 cars and 2 tracks, and, you guessed it, have to buy the rest online. Knowing Sony I am betting on them charging for the "no cars" version of the game as well. After all, they are majorly ripping off anyone who buys into this crap so why not go all the way and charge for a racing game with no cars or tracks? What's worse is that this concoction that Sony has made up isn't even the next real GT game. GT5, the real game, is coming in 2008. I guess they want to see if their scheme works so that they can continue doing it in the next real game.
This only proves my point of how videogames are going to hell because greedy bastards like Sony are ruining it for all of us. Can't they just be happy selling a $50 game and a $300 console? No, these greedy pieces of 
want to squeeze everything they can out of us by selling us an empty box then making us pay for the rest of the game online to the tune of hundreds of dollars. It's the same with in-game ads and episodic games. They want money so bad that they will completely butcher the way games are played and distributed despite what it may do to the gaming culture.
