Its probably a licensing technicality.

No longer available to purchase but you can still download it, probably gonna stay on Game Pass for a few more years too.

I guess they're clearing some server space for the next Forza Motorsport in a year or two.

It's leaving Gamepass the same day as well.

It's their excuse of licensing issues. We've all seen racing games as far as Need for Speed: Undercover(2008) to go on sale till this year( and it wasn't removed due to licensing issues).

I guess they only get a license for short term, Forza Horizon 3 was pulled from sales not too long ago.

Here's an interesting little case study 🤣

Necrokiller had a mithai ki dukaan. He made massive revenue from a series of outlets across the country, thanks in part to an on-going "buy 1 get 2 free" promotion. However, the operating expenses and the cost of producing the mithai ended up almost twice of the revenue.

Q. Was Necrokiller's business successful?
a) If your answer is yes, please explain how you determined your assessment.
b) If your answer is no, please explain what he could do to make it a success.

How do we know that Xbox is trailing behind Sony and Nintendo? Is that assessment also based on revenue figures? I think it's safe to say that this is still true given that MS doesn't share profit figures. They would've been throwing the numbers in everyone's face if they were making profits comparable to Sony or Nintendo. Though I think MS is still in the recovery phase and they might have something to show (in terms of profit) 2-3 years down the road with frequent releases of their first-party studios' games (and long-term sales of Series X/S, GPU, etc.).

MS hasn't shared hardware sale numbers since almost the start of the XBO generation. So the only way we're gonna find out is via insiders, we're probably never getting official numbers.

Did you purchased the developer account?

No, you can do it on retail as well, you gotta sign up for some dudes discord who whitelists your email so you can download the app using the console web browser.

It's .. weird .. but it works.

I got MGS1 running at 4K on the SX via Retroarch. The process definitely works.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
