I suspect this joke was funny the first 4 times you rolled it out.
Lost in all this console warrior nonsense, but the Forza Monthly they just did yesterday showcased a whole bunch of new features and a transformative change to Multiplayer... The biggest change to the franchise in ages. Unsurprisingly, that's not what people want to discuss.
So they aren't 'cutting features'. The new additions should make it even more popular with the community and fans of multiplayer in general.
Delaying a niche feature that most other racing Sims either lack or pay minimal focus to should not be an issue for handwringing and concern. Alas...
Compete in Featured Multiplayer or relax with your friends in Private Lobbies. This is how we’re approaching multiplayer in Forza Motorsport.
