During a media interaction, he said, “If I was a part of the Sports Ministry, I would ask serious internal questions about why we aren’t winning medals. There is talent there, but we have to put in more efforts to streamline.

RELATED: The Most Realistic Racing Games Ever Made Despite its many strengths, Gran Turismo 7 is far from a perfect game. The way that players progress through the main single-player campaign, for example, can be a little repetitive, while the decision to lock key game modes away behind story progress is a baffling choice, to say the least. The game also includes a gambling mini-game and heavy-handed microtransactions, both of which tarnish the overall experience quite a bit....
Despite these problems, Gran Turismo 7 has still earned quite a bit of praise for its actual racing, and the game is unquestionably stuffed with content.

Gran Turismo 7 is also receiving criticism for its microtransactions, and the credits earned for winning races got reduced in a recent patch, which further angered the player base....

We make small amounts of premium wine, and our lives are dictated by the rhythm of nature and the demands of the living vines. The vines start sprouting tiny green tendrils in March and April, and the baby grapes begin to form in miniature, so perfect that they can be dipped in gold to form jewelry. The grapes swell and ripen in early fall, and when their sugar content is at the right level, they are harvested carefully by hand and crushed in small lots....
