Read mad news today.
Forza Horizon 4, the UK one, has had all it's dlc taken off stores and will itself be delisted and no longer purchasable in a few months.

Apparently due to licensing issues.

Another boy of evidence against the shift to digital only.

Atari 50: Anniversary Celebration

So I have a 10 year old who has discovered my Steam Deck and now regularly asks if he can play with the "game console"

I figured he would go for Hades or Animal Well or Jedi Fallen Order o something like that with decent graphics.

Nope.  His favorite is to load up the Atari 50 collection and play Centipede, Lunar Lander and Asteroids.

It's not just jet fueled nostalgia - those old games really had something.

Turns out a remake of a masterpiece can also be a masterpiece.

That's not new, it has happened to the previous 3 versions too. Car & music licence are expensive.

On the plus side, the online services remain. For now. I played FH4 a lot. FH5 didn't grab me near as much I found the Northern England/Southern Scotland setting  more interesting than Mexico, I guess.
