      Why anyone would listen to this idiot is beyond my comprehension. The clown is running the company into the ground.

          During the last sale recently I was looking for an open world racing sim. Ended up getting Forza Horizons 5 over Ubisoft’s The Crew 2 because they killed off and removed my copy of The Crew from my library, so they can get fucked.

            Truly so shocked. Anyway, pretty obvious since the biggest reason these companies refuse to even release the server component (as opposed to making the game playable offline) is that they can then either “remaster” the game and release it again in like a decade or just release it again with maybe a couple features added and call it v2.0.

                Microsoft killed delisted Forza Horizons 4 when their licensing deals expired. They’re not any better in that regard.

                  Nintendo is doing exactly that (pulling games from stores, letting them die). Now that they have more invasive DRM in their latest console, they might even take a more active approach like Ubisoft wegen it comes to live service games. Let’s just “sunset” Mario kart world live service and brick it in a couple of years?

                      They were really selling VHS cassettes as the definitive format you would keep and treasure for the rest of your life.

                        He should probably concentrate making games people want to play instead. Ubisoft is down the drain.

                        The Stop Killing Games demands are not hard to meet, unless you’re a greedy little shitgoblin.

                          No they didn’t. It was delisted from stores. The game still works if you own it, or even if you go out today and buy a used physical copy. Same goes for all of the delisted FH games.

                          Delistings are not what SKG is about and I wish people would stop pretending it is.

                            You at least can still play the old Horizon games. Just not buy them. The Crew is unplayable and was forcibly removed from people’s accounts. Do still agree screw Microsoft though.

                              All the old delisted forza horizon games are still playable. Can’t say that about the crew.
