I'm not falling for it.

They're trying to eek the last of the sales based on FOMO.
people are buying them like renting them now and they'll have unlimited access for the next 5000 years... :olol:

Is $20 for a 6 year old game you still don't technically own a bargain? I got it like 2 years ago for $30, and I didn't feel like that was a bargain, more so that I wanted to play it even though 5 was out.

It's a good game, but $10 would be a bargain. Id buy it again on steam for $10. Forza horizon 3 is still better, just ignore or laugh at 3's stupid accents. I've got all the DLC for practically every Forza game (since a bunch of us started playing Forza Motorsport 3) minus hotwheels from horizon 3 and anything from Horizon 2... I've never gone back to the old games or DLC after finishing them, and by the time I will, they will be in complete game packs and playing on $100 handheld devices.

You wouldn't even buy Super Mario Kart in 1998 for $20 after 6 years and Mario kart 64 was already platinum for $49...

Well, YOU probably would, but no one else would.
I used Mario Kart as an example because it's also a great game.

One of these days I'll rent my own copy Forza horizon 5! Instead of gamepass, and probably when it's like $10 knowing I'm only renting games at this stage.

I had no idea that was even a thing, but Broforce is one of the best couch co-ops ever made, so thanks. More Broforce is never bad.

until I saw a vid about it yesterday neither did I, at fist I thought it might have been a 'murrica day joke then I played it & had a great time, just wish it was on the console versions as well

The whole original game is basically a 'Murica day joke, and that's partially why it's awesome.

But I'll have to wait for a traditionally American day before I play this now because I've missed 4th of July.
Might give it a play on Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Halloween or September 11.
