I always grew up on consoles I never had a gaming PC until last summer, and I've loved it. But I just found out that Microsoft makes it where even if you buy their games legitimately they make it where they stop working on newer Windows updates. This is complete horseshit unacceptable. When I buy a game, I should be able to play it forever that's the whole point if why I'm paying for it. I've blocked updates and been staying on Windows 10 version 1903 because of the Forza games (luckily Forza Horizon 4 just came to steam) but Horizon 3 and Forza 7 have no steam versions and I'm pretty sure Horizon 3 is already not playable on latest update, I know eventually to play new PC games they'll force me to update.
With a console you can buy the disc and play it forever and there's nothing they can do to stop it from working, but even if you buy digital you got at the very least 6-8 years of it working. Longer usually because both PS5 and Xbox Series X are both backwards compatible. So why screw over PC gamers so bad where you buy a game and can't play it in 3-4 years? Maybe most PC gamers don't care because the games are "old" but I don't look at games that way. Especially a racing game where it's still fun why would I be happy with it no longer work just to buy the new version? I've never agreed with most gamers mentality of throw out the old to make room for the new. Why not have the old and the new.
