Ironically, I'm actually ok with launching feature lite game with a strong committed post launch strategy...
This is very common in the social/mobile spaces, but there are rules to this model, one being transparency and lots of communication (I.e. Pcars)... But no one else is doing this in the console space, likely for good reason... I'm not sure it works in a space were customers are conditioned to expect the whole product for so many years (forever actually).
I only started vocalizing my frustrations a couple weeks ago as 2 months have gone by with no communication regarding the core product features... I think pd were also promoting this model without admitting it (that's fair if you make good on it).
My fear is that they might think they are making good on it by giving free cars and tracks... But again, that's all marketing for the none core audience.
GT 6 still needs to find its legs and honestly the online feature, if strong enough, could be their strongest hope for this... As online gamers are very sticky.
All the other features like track creator, gps, etc are gimmicks at best right now, and not likely something to sell more retail units. Believe me, it pains me to say that but they just aren't universally 'needed' or 'core to the franchise' features... A livery editor on the other hand could be a leg that directly competes but we know PD aren't going to do it in a way we would expect. -I digress.
