This is an abomination. As the article said, imagine a 30 year old movie being pulled because it showed an Audi or played a certain song! What the hell
The only difference is that Forza is barely five years old
I can recall the TV show Northern Exposure from 30 years ago never got an accurate DVD release because of music licensing.
I’ve recently watched WKRP in Cincinnati, “on the web” with the original tracks. Such a great show at the time.
Maybe not pulled, but there are plenty that aren’t legally available digitally because of this, so it’s ridiculous there already too
Yikes. Their games are already overly expensive and have excessive DLCs and now they even have a timer on them. lol
Guess another franchise I’ll remove from my wishlist and add to my boycott list.
For this same dumb reason I wanted to play Forza Motorsport 7 on PC and couldn’t buy it.
And somehow you can still get NFS games that are at least 10 years old I think
The wonderful thing is all the achievements tied to the DLC that’s already not purchasable. Tough luck if you want to 100% it now and haven’t bought the dlc.(Which I don’t have. Sad face.)This is pretty common racing game happenings though. Especially AAA titles.
The Ultimate Edition on Steam has all DLC.
Based on the Steam forums:
Even if you buy the ultimate edition, you won’t get all the DLCs previously included in it. There are 5 DLCs that are missing:
- Forza Horizon 4: Hot Wheels™ Legends Car Pack
- Forza Horizon 4: Mitsubishi Car Pack
- Forza Horizon 4: Treasure Map
- Forza Horizon 4: 1967 Sunbeam Tiger
- Forza Horizon 4: 1979 Talbot Sunbeam Lotus
It’s like publishers want people to pirate games. We know that’s surely not true, but their practices seem to make it the only option to appreciate the entirety of the game, and eventually the game itself.
Coincidentally it’s on sale for $12 right now, an all-time low price.
It’s cool but it won’t help people who’ve yet to discover the game for one reason or another.
That’s true of any sale of any game though.
No. Majority of all games are not bound by licensing. You should still be able to buy these games in years to come.
Isn’t this what kicked off the “save games” movement or something? How’s that going?
