The licensing contracts for cars are the issues always for these kind of games. The contracts only last a certain amount of years. After that it's the devs decision to renew or make the decision that it's not worth the money.
That's why I LOVE rockstar and grand theft auto. they make their OWN cars and yet their cars look VERY similar to RL cars like say the Bugatti in GTA5. looks about 98% bugatti and 2% mix of another car. and uses a different names. so that's why the ycan never delist there GTA games . maybe music. but they make sooo much money that they can renew it just liek they've been doing GTA4 for hte past 10+ years.
I remember owning and playing Forza Horizon 2. It was my first Horizon game. I'd already fallen in love with Forza Motorsport 4 but, FH2 peaked my interest in the open world series. I played FH2 a whole bunch. Forza Horizon 3 though, that is when I fell in love with the OPEN WORLD series. So, when FH4 was announced and showcased, it was a no brainer for me. I pre ordered the deluxe/premium edition. I sunk well over two thousand hours into it and have a million and one fun and amazing memories of playing it with my friends! I love FH5 but, FH4 will forever hold a place in my heart!
This is best time to purchase it, just bought the ultimate edition an hour back and got the 50 DLC along with it. Once you own it there will be no change to it.
what happens now if you buy the deluxe version before it gets delisted because the dlcs arent working to buy them seperately now but you can buy the deluxe and ultimate edition?
so, does that mean I needed to have game pass ultimate on the day that it specified on the post, or could it have been game pass core, to be eligible for a game token?
i bought the premium version while having the game pass version installed, will i still have to use the key that i got from xbox to plsy the game after it gets delisted?
My question is, if you brought it off of Microsoft store on pc, but your pc died and you moved to xbox, would online still require you to subscribe to gamepass or would it be free to play online?
will have to buy the game before december 15th there removing it from game pass also, you should be able to keep your progress if you buy the game as long its on the same xbox account
Am I misreading this or does the liscencing agreement sound more like with the actual car brands? Because doesn't forza have to get licensing for them and due to that agreement it can only last so long? Because they do have real car brands and cars in the game which I assume logos and stuff have to be liscenced.
It cost money to have a game online that isn't actively making huge profits, hence Forza horizon 3 servers are on but everything else is off, they have cars in fh3 that Forza doesn't have licensing for anymore but u can still play online, I think it's an excuse more than anything
no , you will loose access to it on game pass. you need to actually own the game , if you haven't bought the game you won't be able to play it after December 15th.
clearly they said if you own it you can still play it. the only people that can't play it are those playing it off of game pass and don't actually own it. they also had a 80% off deal and i bought the deluxe package for 19$ which was normally 99$.
That sucks im glad i got the game when i did its a really good game to anyone on the fence id get it now Now eventually i gotta grab foriza horizon 5 before that game disappears hopefully it will be around for a little while so i can buy it.
@@MuhammadAhsan-xd6qw If i buy the game now on steam. can i download it even after it gets delisted? can i play it online with friends after it gets delisted?
This has nothing to do with digital vs physical, it is a store delisting due to license expirations on music and cars within the game. As is the case with a delisting of this kind the user that owns the game will still be able to play as normal (it is not a termination of the game by the publisher that is a different thing). In the case of Horizon it can be played entirely offline already, the only thing you cannot access if servers are offline are the online components. Only thing this does is adhere to the licensors expiration dates and as stated it will not affect new physical users or people that have the game through legal means digitally after the delisting has taken place.

music licensing as well
İ get what you mean but, honestly most cars just look uglier than the one it's based of of.@@sumireravenclaw8034
@@sumireravenclaw8034yeah but nobody likes to race in fake cars except kids. That's not a solution
@@sumireravenclaw8034yeah I’d much rather there be real cars; rip offs aren’t cool at all to me

The A for effort just means that you get the grade A for “effort”. It’s not claiming that the word effort has A in it, lol.
What will happen if I bought an Xbox that came with fh4 purchased on it as a bundle in 2019?
That's what I was wondering too, that's how I got it.

No,you will be able to play it as normal
Will i be able to play multiplayer or online even after delisting?@@teokmica4200
