Alternate headline: “Forza horizon 4 will see large uptick in piracy this december”
If people want your game why would you stop selling it, people are still going to want it and you just won’t get any money
For games like this it’s almost always licenses for cars or music. They probably weigh the cost off renewal vs likely future sales.
Less players means less people upset when they shut down the servers? I don’t know why else.
