Is it even feasible at this point for them to switch to offline functionality for basic things such as game saves, livery access, and Brand Central? I mean, none of that stuff should ever be at the mercy of a server connection. Sport Mode, lobbies, and photo/livery uploads are the only things that should be affected by something like this. You know, actual online stuff.
This has to be one of the stupidest things I’ve ever witnessed in all my years of gaming. GT Sport, as much as I’ve loved it, is an unplayable pile of garbage because of this. So many core features are locked out. What a truly idiotic decision.
