Game was pulled from store an hour early?
the page still showed 1 hour when the game got delisted, was about to get it but guess not unless it was a mistake and we get it back for the actual last hour

E: edit since people don't read comments apparently

I was aware of the game being delisted but didn't care about it enough to get it. I read about the game being delisted within the day, didn't care enough to get it. My friend who likely wasn't aware of the game getting delisted as early, contacts me when there was an hour and a bit left and they and few others had bought the game. this was also the earliest they could've notified about getting it as they were busy. I checked the sale on browser and there was just about that 1 hour left but i wasn't logged in on browser, so i open steam and it was already delisted. I don't care missing the sale as if i end up wanting the game, there are still keys in existence.

my whole point on writing this was just the fact that i found it odd to have the sale timer go past the delisting hour, as people might notice it too late and think they have a chance to buy it until the countdown ends

now stop yelling how i was wrong for waiting for the last hour when i was literally not waiting :'D

That's exacly why you never risk in buying in the last moments.

Nah, it was their ♥♥♥♥-up. They had plenty of time to fix the timer.

They already told in the announcement that they were going to remove the game on December 15, and they were generous and decided to prolong the discount a little more, by a few more hours, it's not their fault that they decided to remove the game an hour sooner when they had given several additional hours to buy the game.

Sad. I managed to get the game, but just found out there was a couple of free DLCs not included in the ultimate bundle for some reason that I've now missed.

Countdown on the sales page had an hour left. Their own announcement still has 7 hours left. Confusing much. :P

If you never bought it before the game got Delisted. There's Xbox keys online but there's no Steam keys for the game. You'll be forced to play the game on the Xbox but at least the Xbox version has PC supported.

the ms store pc version was released 2-2,5 years before the steam version and it has way less problems...the problems with endless loading at events/races not working wheels was introduced by the steam version.

You're right about the endless loading, but if you get the Xbox version that also means you would never be able to play it on a Steam deck since that's only possible with the Steam version of the game unfortunately.

They already told that they were going to remove the game on December 15 (they were suppose to remove several hours ago), this is the fault of those who decided to buy the game in the last moments.
