That's what is the important factor.

The issue is, will Gran Turismo's progression system be adversely affected by microtransactions? Eurogamer's Martin Robinson has been playing the game and tells me GT6's economy works exactly the same as GT5's, with progression, payouts and car prices very similar.

So if it's exactly the same as in GT5, no harm done?

Microtransactions are just an option. They didn't build the system for the micros. The game still plays like GT5 which didn't have any shitty micros.
