Scam Turismo (The Jimquisition)
Added 2022-03-28 12:46:14 +0000 UTCGran Turismo 7 is yet another example of "AAA" grifting, and another prime subject for a video, which is why we're doing a video on it!

So they make massive changes after the reviews are out and people played them enough so they can't get a refund. It feels like the best thing to do is just wait a few months after release before purchasing it. But if enough people do it, the studio execs will blame something else instead of accepting the possibility that it's their bait and switch tactics that made waiting the smart thing to do.

There are games I have played where DLC significantly altered the story and made it better. But if a studio pulls this shit, pull the review so no one can find it and put up a new one detailing the sheer audacity of micro transactions. It would be really smart moves on the journalist part too. I wouldn't trust any of those websites.

2022-03-28 18:45:09 +0000 UTCYou know, I almost bought this. I haven't touched a racing game in years but this looked cool. I am so glad I didn't bother. Games like this always had money tied to progress but rewards furthered game progression. You play more races, you get more money, you buy better cars to do more races and there is the loop. Developers gave enough money to controll game progression. I never assumed that a company would put additional fees within the main game play loop. That is some serious self sabotage. I actually can't think of any other game that tried to monetize the main game loop, let alone a first party title, let alone a 70$ game.
