In response to a series of problems currently occurring in the United States, they have revised their terms of service for livery.
Two new items are now subject to the ban. The Confederate flag and the Rising Sun.
I believe that the rights of all players should be respected. However, I think this revision of theirs is going to cause havoc in the community.
This is because these two items are items that have been used inappropriately, but at the same time, they are also one of the icons of peaceful pop culture that have no discriminatory meaning.
The former is General Lee from Dukes of Hazard.
And the latter was frequently used in JDM-style stickers, represented by Liberty Walk.
And these are naturally popular subjects in Forza, and there are probably thousands more livery and vinyl groups using them.
And this change in the terms and conditions means that a great many creators who were creating them are suddenly at risk of being banned.
The series of problems currently occurring in the US cannot be ignored. I suppose it's hard to say that games are irrelevant. But making these decisions out of the blue will only cause chaos in the community.
For example, I think they should have given creators of such content a certain grace period to "safely" remove these livery and vinyl groups, or they should have enforced these new guidelines after FM8.
