I don't know how much it will help but there's a small petition going around to save GT6 online. Its not the best petition and could be made better but its still worth looking at to try and help out some. I don't feel like losing another GT games online services

Skyhurricane made a video about the petition, that should help get it to the target goal of 20,000 signatures.

So crazy as I remember having so much fun with GT6 open lobbies back in late 2016 on my friend's PS3, and back in 2015 when I was in 11th grade I'd come home and mostly play some gt6 online on my brother's PS3. Can't believe the servers are shutting down I didn't think they'd shut out PS3 GT players entirely. But it's PD so I should've known better
I actually planned on buying my own PS3 this month to play gt6 again but idk now. Though I own a ps4, I won't be picking up GT Sport until it hits the $20 bin at Walmart it's just not worth $60 to me. :/

TBH my actions were more of a boycott move, as I was a fan of GT/PD/Sony & I could've bought a PS4 for Gtsport & PCars2 & had the best of both worlds.
I don't know who makes the decisions, but what I do know is that they've prematurely killed off 2 of my favourite games just to force you on to the next instalment, sorry but that doesn't sit well with me & I'm not putting up with that a 3rd time.
So I jumped ship & bought a 1X & at 1st I'll admit it didn't feel right after being a Sony man since the PS1, however now I'm all setup & got used to it, it is a very nice bit of kit & PCars2 is the only game I need at the moment.

I really like your tracks Mr grumpy. I a, frantically trying to find the best 30 for me..
I would have saved all your tracks if I could.
I made a seperate thread for thanking people like you who shared tracks.
Despite i named only my current favorites tracks (and their designers) I am thankfull for all these uploads.
The way i found my tracks was using that list. but a lot of them where on the same date. And not a lot of users clicked the like button. I will return and do that some orher day for my favorites.
But i am sure i missed a lot of great ones.
At this moment it is hard for me to try out new tracks and getting rid of another track..
I allready deleted a couple tracks i really enjoyed.
And i spend more time in the free runs. Than in the actual career mode

Got some bad news for you @KrisV66.
When the servers shut down you won't be able to use the custom tracks (even the 1's you've downloaded/made/saved) because you need to be connected to their servers for some stupid reason.
Unless PD release a patch, all our hard work & efforts go down the swanny

And this has to be the biggest insult when this game goes offline. Not only does the best feature of GT6 go completely dormant, but you’d think we’d at least get to save our favorite tracks in some kind of electronic permi-frost.
Nope. 👎

It's the reason I've jumped ship, afaik you can still play forza 6 online, not sure about 4 or 5. PCars is still online, grid 2 & autosport are still online, not sure about shift2.
Bad attitude to have forcing you/giving people an ultimatum, I'll always cut my nose off to spite my face.

I was unable to run my room tonight. It normally fills up every night.
Every night I see the open lobby packed with full rooms. PD has to be aware of the online participation and popularity of GT6.
Tonight the server that starts rooms quit working.
I went to start my room and saw rooms in the open lobby. Just like every other night, I hit "Create New', set up my room and when I clicked "Create Room" I got an error "the server is currently unavailable 358"
I have a friend in Portland, and one in Arkansas, they had the same thing happen.
I have been running this room every night since May 2011. I have never seen this error.
As I write this, there are only 8 GT6 rooms running. That includes full rooms.
Everything else about the GT6 server system is working. I can join a room.
I am wondering if this new, unprecedented problem might have something to do with driving down GT6's online stats.
Just a thought, I don't put anything past those bastards, not any more.
edit: now there are 7 rooms left

So i am rereading the end of service mail.
Regarding the track path editor.
"After the end of the online services, it will no longer be possible to transfer track dats created with the "GT6 Track Path Editor" to "Gran Turismo 6"."
I read this as tracks that you allready transferred to Gran Turismo 6 will still be playable (but not against online opponents)
Am i missing something?
Ok a shame online is gone. But we get to keep 30 user created tracks.. right?
And these are pretty great.

I can see where you’re coming from based on PD’s statement, but we’ll see. Not holding my breath.
Either way I’ll be sure and log in and save my best/favorite tracks before the coffin closes later this month. I literally have to schedule an appointment and remind myself to do this in between all the other games I play.

Yes, i realised this a few weeks ago, when i went offline. The same thing will happen with GT Sport also i'm sure
