![]() ![]() Maybe there won’t be a need to preserve Forza Motorsport 5 for all time, but if this becomes a common trend for all Xbox One games, there are going to be some serious issues. Twenty years from now, when Microsoft is no longer maintaining the Xbox One servers, will any working copies of Forza Motorsport 5 exist? The discs may still be around, but without the servers needed to provide the rest of the game they will be useless. The other, and probably more troubling, long-term problem with this distribution method is that it seems to make it impossible to preserve the game for future generations. The first disappointing aspect of being forced to download missing bits of the game, is that Microsoft has clearly embraced the current-gen day-one patch (which is one of the most offensive business practices developed over the last several years) and evolved it into the next logical step - selling incomplete physical products.
