Hi, so i bought GT7 when i was about 14/15 on a shared account with my younger brother. Now that i'm moving away from that shared account and creating my own PSN account, I wish to transfer my save file. This is partly due to my brother using that account for his games online. From my AI answered questions I have gathered due to how its linked to the PSN account on the actual game server, that a transfer is not possible for the reasons of ranked play and driver ratings rather than potential fraud and misuse.

My query to other follow forum users, and request to any game developers reading this, is that if this is not possible can this be done in a reasonable way i.e. one time transfer where you can transfer from one PSN account to another but can't go back to the first PSN etc. Or has GT7 been made with so many overlying updates that the game would have to be rewritten to get it to work? I don't think my request is unreasonable; I imagine many users started off the same way I did due to fascination with sim technology etcetera.

My current account setup on PS5 is that on my PS (PS1) I have the shared account (PSN1) with premium PS account, and importantly primary PS5 activated. This allows me to access the GT7 game via a different user. I do not want to start again, that is why I am making this request. I do not mind if the game wishes me to rebuy the game license, although I would be annoyed if I have to buy a separate subscription for it also. I merely wish to transfer my hundreds of game hours of progress over so I don't have to go through the hassle of repeating the campaign and getting golds on music rally etc.

Ideas of how this can be implemented reasonably, to preserve the merits of the driver ratings etc, could be to have the non license and non online content such as the missions, campaign, and power pack to be eligible for transfer but not the online stuff and licenses?

Thank you for taking the time reading this, from O-G923Driver

PS: I waive any rights to the suggestions made above (yes, the law is stupid and I imagine in some hidden clause there is some stupid way I could try and sue if you used the above had I not forgone any rights to it. Although if it was a big success I wouldn't say no to freely offered money :))
PSS: If this is implementable in GT8 PLEASE DO so, and also fix the goddamn PSN trophies. This is a performance based games so have performance based trophies not aesthetic trophies like the car washing one. Its not i dislike having bronze trophies for car washes etc but i dislike not being able to get a PSN trophy for say a in game trophy ie gold on all music rallies. Its a multimillion pound flaw in the game.

Other than that love the game keep developing it good!
