Skipping completely on this and blacklisting Microsoft. I refuse to support this nonsense, even if it means I permanently get kicked out of gaming (which looks more likely every day).
There are better things to do than to give money to people who hate you.

Just ignore the corporate shit and everything's fine.
I'm currently playing The Forest, Driftland The Magic Revival and Rad Rogers. Not a whiff of all this bullshit. Indies and AA games are the way to go IMHO.
Unlucky for them I'm always behind on racing games, hell I'm still playing F1 2019. Horizon 4 is good enough for me for a while. Although I don't feel like it works great with my wheel at all. If they'd improve the driving dynamics and the AI I'd have more interest. But I doubt it, they are too busy working on pronouns and protesthics. I'm not super rushed to buy Series X anyway.
I think I played one long ago. I have one of the Dirt games (IIRC those are the same series without the branding). Will be good for a challenge eventually as it's a totally different driving feel.
I'm pretty sure I played 2 and skipped 3. Horizon 4 isn't a ton different. Better graphics, lots of cars, but the concept is still drive around a big world and participate in races as part of a "festival".
I finished every race in Horizon 4 and the expansions ages ago, so I'll be buying this, just because it's got to be better than buying whatever EA shits out with the Codemasters brand on it.
I guess I kind of understand people who don't boycott properly. Over 100 on my list of companies and I finally found one I can't do.
Yeah I'd totally forgotten they bought Codemasters until I saw something about F1 2021. I like that series for the career mode, but I'm sure it will be ruined with one of their stupid MTX "ultimate teams" where you get to buy cards with different Hamilton virtue signal shirts you can equip that make you go faster.
I do have trouble with MS as well. They toe the line on the woke most of the time. That and I prefer the console experience and think PC gaming isn't as amazing and woke-free as it's made out to be.
They definitely do, and I'm sure there's a line they'll cross that'll make me stop buying their games, but this isn't it. I'll just pick normal things and ignore it.
Won’t stop it from being pushed, but you don’t personally contribute to the spreading of their propaganda, and that’s far better than resigning yourself to it.
Ehh, I bought the Series X ages ago. Need to have something to play on it, and I’ve already gone over the lack of alternatives to this game. (Thanks EA!)
If I had known EA owned Codemasters when I bought the console, I would have thrown it on Ebay.
As a blanknoun, that is, " / / ", do not get enough respect from these bigots. They need to represent in more of their games, and ensure that is an allowable option.
Even the character customization is getting enhanced, with a more diverse cast of selectable characters, customizable hairstyles, the ability to select prosthetic limbs, pronouns, voices, and clothing.
At least it won't affect the gameplay. Racing game fans get screwed, EA owns 90% of the franchises and this is our other option.

Yes, I’ve got a huge backlog of old, AA, and Indie games. I practice what I preach.
True. They could have added new cars in the time it took to virtue signal to the xirs.

EA owns the developer now.

I hate Horizon 4. Then again, I don't like the arcadey racing.

Why did it have to be EA...
They definitely do, and I'm sure there's a line they'll cross that'll make me stop buying their games, but this isn't it. I'll just pick normal things and ignore it.
You can just not buy the woke garbage.

I can say here what I cannot say on Reddit.
Pirate it already.
You can’t pirate on consoles, sadly.
Hiss... vile peasantry, begone!

Forza Horizon is just the worst. It's literally a bourgeois socialist Silicon Valley fantasy game.
It's the only racing game in my life I had to put down because the characters are so unlikable.
See you faggots in SnowRunner.
Id give mine 4 prosthetic limbs and calling her Munchkin

no. do not give them the inch.
refuse to purchase this and be open about it.
I didn’t spend hundreds of dollars on a paperweight.
I’ll buy it used, they don’t get any money that way.
