They haven't. Horizon 3 shares, in many ways, the same flaws as Forza Motorsport 7. Bugs that are noticed immediately but go unfixed for ages, sound samples seemingly assigned to cars at random, etc. It's hard to guess what's going awry with Microsoft Studios - and ultimately, the games may have gotten a lot messier, but Forza Motorsport 7 is still the game from the series I've enjoyed the most, so far.
Hopefully the poor reception FM7 received from the fans will be a wake-up call for Microsoft. Although so far I can't remember a game which hasn't been met poorly by the fanbase. This, too, is a problem. The community could play a very important role in fixing Forza's issues, if it stopped bitching for a moment. Which it never will: whining is, after all, much easier and provides much more catharsis than constructive criticism.
