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.

Idk if Microsoft Studios is the better choice here lol

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

Sure but Microsoft are active participants in genocide

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

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.
