Removing games from sale is a ♥♥♥♥♥ move.

[Pretentieux]

Removing your old games from stores even though it costs you nothing to maintain a digital storefront is just bogus greedy behavior. I'll not put any money into any of this franchise until you bring back prior games that work fine.

I am lucky enough to have a top of the line system that can run the newer games, but for players on introductory hardware, these older games that often are sold at a lower price than new titles are great ways to get into the hobby.

I'm sure the developers who put their time and energy into this project are so happy that the publisher has decided to pull it from sale so that it doesn't compete with their newer, sloppier releases with cash shops.

Name checks out. Awareness of licensing reality does not.

forza keeps cycling the developer teams in and out of the production to prevent getting loose and worker benefits from accumilating. so no. i doubt there is any develop actually cares about this

Honestly as a player and a consumer, I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about licensing issues. Figure it out.

You're not the one getting sued by Ferrari for leaving a game up with licenses in it you don't have the rights to any more, so of course you don't care.

So, you are aware of licensing and that licenses cost money and eventually do expire, but you just don't care?
The point is: maintaining a game and keeping it up for sale does cost money for the developers. And at some point in time, the costs are too high compared to the possible income gaines.

Correct. I do not care.

Figure it out.

I can still purchase so many old games on Steam that I'm sure sell in the 10s of copies every year.

you are aware that you pleasure is worthless in their minds right? this game doesn't exist to make you happy. it exists to milk money from you.

initial licensing fees are relatively low compared to after the game gets releases and gets popular. they license the cars for a fixed amount of time which they think the game will milk the most amount of money from you. rest is your problem. buy fh5 now peasent.

The difference is that those old games do not have licences that cost money. Why would they spend more money than they bring in just to keep a game listed? Whilst you don't care, they do care because they are a business and their aim is to make money, not lose money

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥, dude. You aren't enlightening anyone with knowledge about the industry right now. Where the ♥♥♥♥ do you people come from, out of the woodwork on any critical post, to defend gigantic corporations? And you do it with this smarmy, self-important attitude. As if you're telling anyone anything new.

I DO NOT CARE

[Pretentieux]

If you came here to respond in order to make yourself feel like you are insightful or intelligent for knowing that corporations want to make money, I have already blocked you.

I get that you don't care but attacking people because they disagree with your view point is childish, not to mention the insults. As to blocking people for disagreeing with you, again, very childish. Feel free to block me...to quote yourself "I don't care"

I think he is funny so he doesn't deserve a blocking.
