Despite of this story, some Russian gamers (including me) already play GT7. There's still a way to get it using a foreign PS Store account. However, since Visa and MasterCard left Russia, paying could be difficult. But no sanctions can stop a true Gran Turismo fan. We can still get around.
But there's another problem. Yesterday, Sony closed the Russian PS Store (and not only for Russia - gamers from other post-Soviet countries such as Belarus, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan (and more) also used the Russian Store, because they don't have their own), and those people who paid for the PS Plus subcription can't use it to get the new PS+ games of the month. Moreover, the money on my PSN wallet that I got after my preordered Russian version of GT7 is refunded just left on the wallet and I can't spend it. Sony just stole my money without warning. Could they at least warn they're closing the Store so the users could spend the money on their wallets? I knew it was probably going to end up like this, and was choosing between GRID Legends and WRC 10 to get... but it took too much time for me to decide.
Anyway, I just hope this whole **** won't last too long. The owned games from the library can still be downloaded, and I have plenty of those I haven't finished or even started.
