Forza Horizon 3 is a good game, but it is imprisoned in the Windows Store and is hosed to hell.

I couldn’t get online working at first. it turns out online will only work if your firewall is ON.

My friend complained he couldn’t play his game anymore after awhile. it would load the splash screen, then immediately close with no error. the solution was to download any random Windows store app and run it once. then viola, you can play your expensive video jame

i'm sure he's a mench, but buying an overpriced gimmick PC from a company whose computers have been 100% consistently POS trash fires since they started selling computers six years ago, and then complaining that it is in fact a POS trash fire, doesn't speak to technical competence

complaining about how terrible your surface branded pc is, is like complaining about how much your balls hurt when you smash them with a mallet. you're not wrong, but the solution is pretty obvious
