Obviously if you are not online you won't be able to use multiplayer or access the other features, possibly like the used car dealership and online bonuses like from logging on.So they are pulling the same thing they did for GT Sport basically.

That's a fair point, but when Gabe no longer own's Valve - for whatever reason, like say when Lucas sold off SW - do you expect Steam to retain the current customer assurances it currently, has?

It's Sony. At this point I believe that they can get away with anything.

But that doesn't make any sense. Anyway, who cheats in racing games? It's not worth ruining the single player.

Then why literally any other series don't have that problem?

Disappointing but my excitement level is the same.
I have gt sport and never even noticed this "thing".

This is my sole complaint with these guys. Turn 10 made More forza games than Polyphony in less time.
But I don’t care about the online connection requirement. I dont even play my PS5 unless I’m connected tot the internet.

I did and often servers were offline and I could not have any progress in the already light SP content.

Yes, maybe they did patch some things in the meantime, but last time I played offline (it's been more than a year) the game didn't save progress.

I don't disagree with the point about the necessity for an online connection for SP content, but the same can be said for many other games that do it including Destiny 1 and 2.
So it's not a whataboutism but a meaningful counter-point (regardless of whether you're willing to accept it or not).
The fact is, an online connection requirement for some games, by the devs own choice defining appropriateness, isn't something that needs a defence in the first place. It's a fact of the gaming industry and devs have to freedom to chose to make games that way if they so decide to do so.
If you don't like it, don't buy the game. That's your choice.
The original online check-in policy for XB1 was absurd because it mandated it across all games on the platform. This is not that, and so trying to draw such a false equivalency in order to drum up fake outrage is puerile at best.
It's also puerile to cry fanboy for anyone that simply disagrees with your own subjective point of view on a singular developer's design choice for their game. If you can't rationally debate your position using locally consistent arguments on a discussion forum and instead have to jump straight to juvenile ad hominem attacks and straw-manning to defend your point of view, then perhaps you shouldn't have made this thread and instead remained in the Safe Space of your own head where the only minds present will only ever agree with you.

Don't really see steam ever selling out honestly. Steam is the biggest platform in gaming, I don't ever see that train slowing down. That's why Microsoft and now Sony are flocking to steam to put their library of games on.That's a fair point, but when Gabe no longer own's Valve - for whatever reason, like say when Lucas sold off SW - do you expect Steam to retain the current customer assurances it currently, has?

ANY single player game that requires you to have an internet connection is plain stupid there is no defending this idiotic decision

This is satire, right? Since console wars bring up all kind of unfathomable craziness, if not: I own a PS5, but no Xbox Series. Also, I hate racing sims (including Forza).deal with it: I DONT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT MS(Apple dure here), ABOUT XBOX ANYMORE AND FORZA. Go and play your MS box and live your best life but don´t talk to me about anything else but Sony. I DONT CARE MR GAY ALEX BOYSBAND.

I did have the internet since 1999.
Internet nowdays is even more interconnected with our lives than it was in 2013. (for me at least)

I get why they do this on PC, as it helps defend games against piracy, but not sure what the need is on console. Single player modes should be offline imo, if for no other reason than you will know that at least the single player section will always be playable in the future.

Simply not possible.
You are lying because GTSport never ever locked the single player races behind online.
You need online for the daily bonuses, exchange market and multiplayer.
Not true at all. SP was not locked behind online and being offline has zero impact on being able to save in SP.

I really don't know but I recall some problems with cheating in leaderboards. Can be wrong.

Yep unlike the clear bullshitters in this thread. The only way someone wouldn't be able to play is if they were only ever trying to play during scheduled weekly maintenance which used to last for 2 hours once a week.
Haven't played in a couple of years though, long since moved on to PC racing sims.

Doesn't bother me even a little bit. I'll have 2 or 3 internet problems a year maybe, and it usually just requires a router reset.
But I get why others would be upset. It effectively means the game on your shelf has a finite lifespan & will eventually be a brick. Not to mention those less unfortunate with unreliable internet.

It's simple if having an Internet connection stops you from enjoying a game or not liking it, then vote with your wallet. Don't buy it. It'll be 2022 when it releases. People are connected all the time with their phones and have no problem with that.

It would bring all sorts of legal trouble for Sony and PD if the game refused to work if they ever turned the servers off.

Better answer.
Jim Ryan should be fired in first place.
Maybe he can earn a little more money.... But in gamer point of view... He is destroying de Playstation brand with their no rasonable decisions.

I once sold a TV to some submariners and the main factors we chose it based on was whether it would fit down the hatch and whether it was light enough that it could be mounted on a metal wall that they said was "like paper thin" lol one of the weirdest sales ever.

delisting isn't the same as requiring online connections to play. You can still get a physical copy of those Forza games and play campaigns.No other series, nope none at all.

I thought you meant simply had licensing issues for some reason.
And I'm not even sure GT is online only is because of licensing to be honest, I think it might be because the game is FIA certified. Of course they could easily just sandbox the actual FIA online races and make you use pre-provided cars instead of ones from your garage, but who knows.
Just online plus not needed

I said progress. And guess what, Sony themselves tell you so.

Edit: I saw that my post you quoted twice says "have" but it should have said "save".
Perhaps that was causing the confusion.

Dumbest shit ever. My kid keeps trying to play GT Sport and is constantly barraged with "NO PSN ACCOUNT YOU CANT DO THIS" messages. Why the fuck should I have to create an online account to play single player?

To people who are complaining about this: did any of you play GT Sport? If no, why do you care so much for GT7?
Online connection is required for, among other things, tracking driver stats + lap times and comparing it to your friends and other players. This was part of the single-player experience on GTS and, imo, a good incentive to improve your laps and go beyond the gold trophy. PD had to reset these lap times at least once when they updated the tire physics, btw.
Besides, it's 2021 and PD shouldn't care too much about the hermits or the two of you who're planning on playing this in 2035, when the servers will likely be offline.
