Aris addresses Gran Turismo 7 developers in recent stream, brands the game “a cash grab”

sportskeeda.com:

Aris, famous for his Twitch channel AvoidingthePuddle, recently took a spin in Gran Turismo 7. While he seemed to enjoy playing the game itself, a few things stood out to the streamer and sent him on a couple of small rants.

He called the game a “flagrant cash grab” and said that he would be able to accept the artsy choices the game had if it weren’t for that. The streamer called out the game for including piano music and cafes in an effort to make the game "classy."

Gran Turismo 7, despite initial positive reviews, was lambasted by fans for being an incredibly greedy game in terms of how it was monetized. It may have been well-received at the start, but fans were quickly frustrated by it, and Aris highlighted exactly why in his recent stream.

The streamer directly called out the developers in a crude way for making the game a cash grab opportunity. He spoke about how they had used a variety of things to make the game feel artistic, almost as if to try and hide the game’s problems.

He continued further, saying:

This is not the only time Aris has spoken about the developers of Gran Turismo 7 either.

While completing a Cafe mission in Gran Turismo 7, he railed against the game yet again, being bored by the various artistic touches of the game.

It was clear that he wasn’t fooled by the developer’s choices, and was pretty frustrated, as many players were, by the microtransactions that Gran Turismo 7 is filled with.

It’s not a hot take to complain about Gran Turismo 7 and how it was monetized by the developers, but many seem to agree with Aris on this one. Quite a few Redditors spoke their piece about the game as well.

Others opted to mock the Gran Turismo 7's developers and the violinist that the streamer called out in the first
