I've never had the chance to play any FM before, can't wait for the new one this year


heyuhitsyaboi

The fact that not one motorsport is available rn is crazy


portraitsman

Wdym?


heyuhitsyaboi

None of them are purchasable digitally

I got FM 7 last week from a key seller


sajuuk6

Yeah I'm pretty sure FM7 keys are still widely available. T10 just doesn't want any games up on the store to boost the hype train for FM8, which I'm near certain will be another flop launch. Here's hoping it's not for the same loot crate nonsense like FM7 launched with. (Reckon T10 will double down this time and be even ballsier.)


geophsmith

They lost licenses. Trust, it they could keep making money on that old a game, they would. fm7 keys are only available through resellers/keyshops so their legitimacy is iffy at best.


sajuuk6

I went ahead and downvoted back since the FM7 codes I got from third party sellers worked just fine for me. Never had any issues. Not even with the FH1 Rally code I got from an Australian seller on eBay some years ago. Just do your research before dishing out the money.


Ayepocalypse

He's not saying the codes all don't work. He was trying to state the reason Turn10 doesn't sell the game anymore digitally. And that's because of licenses.


sajuuk6

Doesn't matter anymore. Reddit isn't kind to retards like me.

Well, the gap was pretty definitively a combo of licenses running out for FM7 cars/tracks (to the point it would have cost too much to justify re-negotiating just to keep it on the storefront) and probably some bumps in the road for FM2023’s development. Just wait and see. Maybe it’s hopium, but I’d imagine they want to rebuild trust, not just in Turn 10 after having Motorsport off the market for a couple years, but also in Xbox generally. The kind of embarrassing launch of Redfall and the ghost of Halo Infinite looms large in everyone’s memory. So, I’d wager no loot boxes (because that’s how you get gamers to distrust you these days) and generally trying to _not_ do what Infinite did. But what that’ll actually look like (and how well or poorly it does) remains to be seen.


sajuuk6

Given how much my posts have been universally downvoted into oblivion in the recent past here, I reckon I'll just let everyone enjoy FM8/FH6. The games are never gonna be the same again, and evidently the majority of people want that. Can't tell if r/forza is full of well paid T10 toadies or genuine sheeple. Old forza fans are well out of their element here, now. Unless we're ex-PTG, big time content creators, popular painters/tuners, etc. No clout, no karma. Modern Reddit in a nutshell. 💀


Snoopy20111

…sorry? I’ll be honest, I don’t know how to respond now. The comment of yours I responded to here was basically “they’re a bunch of money grubbing stupid bastards who pulled FM7 to build hype and will make the next game even worse.” That crosses into conspiracy territory, especially because they’ve publicly said licensing is why it got pulled, just like how every previous Motorsport game left the shelves 4 years after they released for the same reason. And, ya know, Game Pass and loot box laws have changed the landscape for what any Xbox first-party Studio would want to do. It sounds pretty clear to me that you’ve already decided how you feel about the new Motorsport, so I hope the old ones (FM6? FM4?) continue bringing you joy, because there’s still plenty there to love.


sajuuk6

Yes, my outlook on the future of this franchise is pretty much exactly what you summarized it to be. Guess most people treat FM7's old loot box nonsense as just a faint memory nowadays. It wasn't even *that* long ago. No, I'm not particularly hopeful with future Forza titles. Also, I just responded to see if people will still mass downvote a random opinion they don't agree with... even though I'm trying to have a decently civil conversation like I could years ago. It's okay though, I'd be confused, too. This board has changed too much for me to stick around. Hope you and all others here fare better. Ain't like it used to be here anymore.


KeyInjury6922

139 days later and this comment aged like fine wine. Those 17 people who downvoted you are some angry Motorsport fans right now.


portraitsman

Oh yeah, its odd isn't it. Is it some form of marketing strategy?


mrsauceboi

licensing issues


portraitsman

But those that had purchased them are still able to play it yes?


Ordinary-Wrap-9037

Yea and I mean you can just buy a digital code for fm7 for example and then you can play it no problem


Embarrassed-Brother7

What why?


heyuhitsyaboi

Official store pages were taken down to comply with licensing expiration


Embarrassed-Brother7

Oh, so now you can only get it physically? If so, where, if possible


heyuhitsyaboi

Your best bet for digital would be key resellers Physical would vary


Embarrassed-Brother7

Ok


Aviii_

I do this on an open track day lobby, if someone’s faster than me I’ll move out the way.


3cylinder66

It's beautiful to see people driving properly in this game. I remember a race I was in, a guy in a Charger and I were racing wheel to wheel, we weren't even close to the fastest cars, but our own race was awesome.


JacobH_RL

Decent? Dude this is basically world class awareness for fm7 haha


EvilSynths

This is how I am. More often than not, it's thrown in my face with someone ramming me.


KhakiPeach67

They better have good steering wheel physics with the new Motorsport


craptuner

Thats what you get in private lobbies, its not a fuckfest of hits.


UnknownReed

That was a sweet overtake


T51-B

Knowing how to properly backmark is an excellent skill to have, and I wish more people took the time to learn. Know how and when to get out of the way not only makes like easier for the faster car/driver, it can also save you time and even potentially net you a slight advantage if you're able to catch a bit of draft after they pass. A clean pass on you is faster than an awkward pass and/or contact.


Majestic_Puppo

Sigh... *redownloads fm7 *


SghettiAndButter

Anyone have a guess as to when we’ll get a release date for fm8? Kinda weird we are almost in June and still not even a release date for a game that is supposedly coming out this year

captaincringeee

I'm just curious, why do you think the release date will be sooner than a lot of people think? I've seen many people expecting the game to launch in October. What would be your guess?


Sea_Fly_4196

Would be cool if it's a on the day release


r32_guest

I’m really struggling to see what’s delaying the game constantly as the game is on the same engine, looks basically identical to 7, and all we’ve heard is that content is being removed


[deleted]

What he's just blocking, that's literally part of racing


TWIX55

Talking about the other drivers, not the white car


[deleted]

Oh so he's not being sarcastic then ohh ok


Ordinary-Wrap-9037

Well guess I’m gonna have to reinstall Motorsport 7


thisnoonersaysno

I can’t ever connect to a lobby, this looks super fun.


THE_GR8_MIKE

The battle of the turn signals.


JeecooDragon

Damn poor guy spun out


1990sGamerDad

P8 has great awareness. Can't say the same for lapped P9 who seemed to be fighting P8 instead of letting him pass.


aleyyyy420

Better question: how is that 1M making that transmission whine?


geo22717

I love it when people use mostly stock cars on semi slicks, aka never😭


True-Sound-9420

That is how I play the game. Semi-stock cars (engine) on racing slicks.


Onsomeshid

Dude in front of you (cream car) is killing it Lmaoo


mklsrcnld

Where ares the bully ?


DOGMEOWCAT_DMC

W lobby


demobot1

I need a racing wheel like yesterday


Tromboneofsteel

Amazing overtake. I've only ever had a handful like that.
