  • Usually yes, but sometimes no. For a recent example, all the “cover cars” from past Forza Horizon games are available as loyalty rewards in Forza Horizon 6… except the McLaren Senna from Forza Horizon 4 because the Senna family has decided in the years since FH4 that they will no longer allow anyone but McLaren to use the Senna name for any price. If Playground wanted to remake FH4 they’d have to drop the Senna from the car list, which would be understandable but really disappoint fans. Now I know that that exact scenario is rare, but that’s not the only reason people deny rights to things that they once did: sometimes like Toyota in the 2010s they decide they’d no longer like to be associated with those kinds of games, sometimes even figuring out who owns the rights after decades of mergers, buyouts, and business failures makes things unclear no matter how deep you dig, there’s a lot of ways things like that could go wrong.

    Socially acceptable or not, you can still do it, but there will be consequences. My dad would tell me he didn’t care often when I talked to him as a kid, he still does sometimes when I try to tell him something I genuinely think he’ll like, but I rarely try to talk to him anymore.

    I’m running Nobara on a 2015 MacBook Pro, nice that this laptop I bought over a decade ago is still a perfectly good machine. The display, trackpad, keyboard and aluminum chassis are still stop notch and the processor and ram handle my casual computer usage just fine. Wild to think how many perfectly good computers are just going to waste because Apple and Microsoft gave up on them.
