Patience

"The author, Arnold H. Glasow, once said "The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it" -- with that said I'd like to ask GTers to stop demanding 4.0 to be released, stop hassling Travis about 4.0, and to gain some patience... NOW!!

GT4.0 will be released, don't give up hope. It's been less than a year since the last update, I know games/programs that get updated once every few years (many of mine included)! I understand most of you are in your mid-teens and obviously have a lack of patience. So here's the deal: games take a while to program, take a class, learn about it, then tell me YOU can make GT4.0 overnight. Travis is working on 4.0, believe me or not I know this to be true, and with the hack and other distractions he has had to take time away from working on it to deal with that. You've got to realize Travis has a real life to attend to, GT isn't his job, he barely makes enough to cover server costs. Lets just gain some patience and wait until he releases it (on his own schedule).

Going on the forum and giving 4.0 ideas doesn't help either (it just gives morons the chance to post that 4.0 will never come out, because in their mind if its been more than 2 months things are incapable of being updated) -- he has plenty of ideas, if he needed more he'd ask the top GTers who've been here for quite some time. Besides those ideas have been mentioned hundreds of times before. More clothes, flags, facial expressions, hair, etc. WE GET IT!! If you just wanted more clothing options then why not ask for 3.7b? GT4.0 should be a huge release with tons of new stats, options, features, and even new gameplay/scoring system. Not just a clothing update.

Terminator 3 was released 12 years after T2, why are you giving up on GT after only 10 months from its last update? I have information Travis is still working on GT4.0 and even has some arbitrary percentage of its completion. Now I'm sure you all are wondering how I got this information and not many others have, well the truth is quite a few people do know. By running GTC and being on good terms with almost ALL of GT for quite some time, I do get quality info from close sources to GT... I have no word of a release date, and won't release how much is complete, I can tell you that he's focusing on the Forum and Profiles.

A lot of people discredit the release of GT4.0 because, over the months, people (not having anything to do with the programming of GT) posted it would be out on "such-and-such" date and automatically it spread like wild-fire... then when it wasn't released people got upset and lost all faith that the game would ever be updated. Travis has never promised GT4.0 would be released on ANY date. GT is software, it can always be updated, it just depends how much time the programmer has to work on it, and as of 10 months Travis hasn't finished. I'm sure he didn't start working on it until the summer, 3.7 probably wore him out.

Lastly I'd like to add that most of you offer 4.0 suggestions that are preposterous at best. You can tell who knows anything about programming and those who play too many video games, Travis is one person, GTA3 was made by 50 Japanese people, be realistic when speaking about a 1-man created, multiplayer, online game. After you win, you're not gonna jump into a Viper and go on a 3-D GTA-esque ride where you have to shoot down bad guys then go back to your pad where you see Tiffany and yourself perform X-Rated activities. The game is about statistics and community, not about graphics and sexual content!"
