For this list, we tested all the games that were released in 2018 (and for which we had a PC Performance Analysis article). Since some developers have released several patches for some of the games we’ve covered, we are judging their final 2018 versions. So, without further ado, here are the most optimized PC games of 2018 (at least in our opinion)."
Forza Horizon 4 is getting delisted on December 15. To celebrate the end of an era, developers approved 80% off all the editions.
In June we learnt that Forza Horizon 4 was the latest game to suffer from delisting due to licenses expiring (happening December 15th 2024). While the game is discounted to encourage people to pick it up, Microsoft could go so much further with this.
If the game is online or has on disc DRM, you don't own it. Simple as that.

I don't why are you getting these dislikes, cuz you're right. The only digital store where you own the games is GOG, cuz you literally get install files.
It's been shown multiple times, that activation servies (or DRM if you wanna call it that) on disks tend to go down. All these zoomers downvoting you don't remember GFWL and other crap.
the biggest issues are definitely the car brand and music licensing in the game.
Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, wants better game preservation across the industry, per Axios.
Spencer wants to see legal emulation, allowing players to access any older games.

Sir, have you ever thought of doing stand up? You're hilarious.
Should I remind you that GT7 is a live service online only game?
Should I remind you of Sony hiding (until recently) some older PS1 games behind PS Plus highest tier paywall?
"Sony hiding (until recently) some older PS1 games behind PS Plus highest tier paywall?"
You do realise that it was Capcom that decided to only allow their games to be accessible via PS Plus, and not bought, right...
Sony had literally nothing to do with it, otherwise you'd see other games - such as SIE published titles - doing the same thing.

However.
if you know that will be an issue down the road, make better deals.
this will definitely be another huge issue for FH5
Does the author knows the car manufacturers put limitations to their products license?
Forza Horizon 4 is among Microsoft’s late-release successes after it was rolled out on Steam. It is among the most-played PC titles with a concurrent player count of nearly 76K. The game plays and feels much like its successor, Forza Horizon 5, except it’s set in Britain.
List is a bit strange, oh well.
I would be pissed if I spent a ton of money on a gaming PC and this is what I got at the top
