Kazunori Yamauchi Celebrates Birthday with the Porsche Family

Gran Turismo series founder Kazunori Yamauchi turned 58 years old last week, and over the weekend has been revealing some of what he did to celebrate the occasion — including a unique road trip with some members of the Porsche family...
Happy birthday Kaz!
I'm glad we finally got Porsche in the game, I can't stand these BS exclusivity deals in games.
Porsche probably expected ea to continue making games like nfs 2, 3 and 4 instead of the fast and furious influenced games like underground 1, 2 and most wanted with tuned/imported cars...
Damn Paul Walker and Vin Diesel!

This makes sense though I can understand it from a business POV (and tbf both Underground & Underground 2 were still great games. Especially NFSU2 is one of my all time favorites). It's crazy to think that EA actually used to stand for well made games and weren't the laughing stock they are nowadays.
Looks like a great birthday celebration. I'm glad we finally got Porsche in the game, I can't stand these BS exclusivity deals in games.
Guess we're also lucky we didn't get the Porsche IRL BS deals in the game. If you don't know what I'm talking 'bout, Misha explains it here:



Although that still would be better than the invite system!

I didn't know Porsche shared that elitist attitude with Ferrari (at least when it comes to their GT cars), that's really unfortunate.

Glad good ol' Uncle Kaz is celebrating with Porsche (not RUF, lol) but they as a company liek Ferrari doofusses, do have a funny mentality to the GT3 RS car range, and their exclusivity. Backing up what @Sir Crashalot echoed they are very picky on their buyers.

See here from Mark Mccann, A Racing driver and youtuber, a three parter video series, exposing Porsche's bad habits to sales!!! It kinda put me off Porsche for a while, then I went back and played one in GT7 lol.
