Well now they have more reason to make the game free
Was supposed to be free a year ago but makes sense they'd delay it because of the DLC

People are "crying" about this one because PD specifically said they wouldn't include DLC in this game and went back on their word. That rubs a lot of people the wrong way, me included.Paid dlc is not Always a bad thing but some people just starts crying for paid dlc.

If there is car or track content, only players with the DLC will be able to use it. That means a fracturing of the playerbase, which is something PD hasn't done to this point in GT Sport - it would go against the esports core of the game, with some (in fact most) players unable to use the content or participate in events with the content.Maybe its just 10 time trials with great money rewards and credit cap, but there could be content we don’t know of yet throwed into the mix as well Only time will tell
Walkenhorst M6 is a different car to the M Power M6, or the Hamilton W08 is a different car to the colour variation model, or the Honda Super Formula is a different car to the Toyota Super Formula
Thats not true kaz mention plenty of times of dlc. They never said that their was not going to be paid dlc. Is too soon to judge just for one paid dlc. If they continues this trend then i can understandPeople are "crying" about this one because PD specifically said they wouldn't include DLC in this game and went back on their word.

No, they are not.Just like someone else said before about DLC... Microtransactions are DLC.
No, because (even with the broader definition) not all microtransactions include content - virtual currency is not content.Microtransactions are Paid DLC is a more accurate statement then, right?
Yes, any time you buy in-game money for real money - which is what "microtransaction" originally meant.Can you give an example of a microtransaction that doesn't include content?
Like I just said...Personally, I consider all those cars available to buy in the PSN Store to be Paid DLC.
If you hold that a microtransaction can mean "real money for virtual content", then a paid DLC would be a microtransaction. But then so would all the cars that have been available for real money for over a year.
Okay, so how/why is virtual currency not considered game content? In my mind, it's part of the game therefore it's content.Yes, any time you buy in-game money for real money - which is what "microtransaction" originally meant.
Because it's an abstract concept that's part of a game's economy, and not an item that you play with or on/at/in.Okay, so how/why is virtual currency not considered game content?

To me, a microtransaction has two elements:Microtransactions are Paid DLC is a more accurate statement then, right?
In this instance, it's not intended to mean the "micro-" prefix, but as a contraction of "microcomputer". Well, actually, it's a contraction of "micropayment", but the "micro" in that is a contraction of "microcomputer" - at least in that context as there is another context for "micropayment" that does indeed mean "small payment", but it's usually used to mean a small portion of a larger transaction.2. It is micro, i.e. small.
There are some sources that define it as a very small transaction:In this instance, it's not intended to mean the "micro-" prefix

The special prize car for the DLC is a visual update of a car (obviously a Mercedes) that's already in the game, like I already said. This would qualify as a new car in the same way that the Walkenhorst M6 is a different car to the M Power M6, or the Hamilton W08 is a different car to the colour variation model, or the Honda Super Formula is a different car to the Toyota Super Formula, but should not have any difference in performance or eligibility.
Full info on this is out tomorrow, before the update on Thursday.
Indeed, but in a gaming context they are wrong to do so.There are some sources that define it as a very small transaction:

Paid content cannot be used in the game's flagship FIA races, because it will not include every player.Well, they can also do like SMS did on the first pcars or codenmaster with DR2.0
If the one that opens a lobby got dlc content like track or cars,people in that lobby can play on it/use the cars.
Good solution for esports/online races.
Iracing got a lot of dlc between cars and tracks and is also an excellent esports Game
Unreal how much blowback this is getting just for having a cost attached to it. PD has literally provided years of free updates and content, yet they put out a single paid DLC and everyone loses their minds.
And for the record, "microtransations" would be if they added a second currency that was used to repair your car or buy fuel or something, and you'd have to either pay up to fix/fuel your car or just wait until a timer runs out. Similar to Real Racing from EA.
This is not a microtransaction.
Mmm, not all DLC is bad, but lets imagine that all of the above is either paid for, or free, which would be good, and which would be bad? I know some can't wait to give PD more money though.Paid dlc is not Always a bad thing but some people just starts crying for paid dlc. Of course their is bad dlc as well, but not all is bad. If PD released a Classic trackpack with original circuits or just some of them lets say deep Forest trial mountain and Grand valley speedway. And include gt auto custom and upgrade parts with a new career expansion i would gladly pay $30 for that easily.
Yeah I don't get this either. It's not even that big of a deal, I mean it's nothing that will divide the player community. In fact I suspected paid DLC to come much earlier than this. Thankfully PD haven't gouged us with paid content.PD has literally provided years of free updates and content, yet they put out a single paid DLC and everyone loses their minds.
