With their latest patch update, Gran Turismo 7 set social media on fire recently. The update changed Cashouts for completing races, making it harder to buy new cars and pushing players to perform microtransactions using real-world money. The changes had players extremely upset and added to an already upset fanbase which saw the game go offline for over 30 hours.
In response to the update, players united and started to review bomb the game giving it the game's lowest user rating in franchise history and one of the worst ratings on the internet.Review bombing wasn't going to fix the problem, though, so one player decided to take into his own hands and fix things himself.
A member of the PSNProfiles forum came up with a script for PC that plays the game on PS4 or PS5 through the Remote Play feature. The script runs races that allow for AFK farming of up to $650k credits each hour and works up to $15million in credits per day, equivalent to $150 real world money for microtransactions. With the script being shared, one user on the forums used and gave a review:
"Used it all night, it farmed a little over 5 mil in 10 hours. Had zero problems except the thoughts' What if my PC goes to sleep'," wrote one player on the forum. "How ironic is this that the only method to get one of the high-end cars is to let an automatic script drive a sci-fi car around a fictional track? So much for The Real Driving Simulator."
