This is a full priced game though... so designing it around whales while everyone else also already paid 60-70 euros is disgusting

The naivety in this thread of 'this time it'll be different' is hilarious.
No it won't be. They'll ease you into getting fleeced

We're hearing that it isn't designed in such a way (or hasn't changed from GT5), I'm waiting on reviews personally, but right now it sounds like people aren't buying a game on the probability that the next iteration may be worse because "Sony to".
