Hardware-specific and not platform/ecosystem-specific delistings are kind of weird. LCU is a weird one though since it's still available in general, and still available on Switch. So they can kind of cheat the licensing and use a lot of real music. They happen to be the rights holder to the majority of published music worldwide, anyway via Sony Music/BMG. Apparently under "indefinite" terms of some sort the car mfrs won't offer. But they do still license music for games. It's why Ubisoft and some others don't use real car brands and models in The Crew and Watch_Dogs. That's common with racing games and music games since it's all content that needs to be licensed. All the car brands, logos, models, the music, etc are a fixed term licensing that can't be distributed beyond the contract. They're always about 4 years, and a new one always replaces it so there's no gap in the catalog. I kind of "get it" with the Nintendo licensing, but this is the problem with phasing out consoles and one-and-done disposables rather than building the whole environment as one The Forza games are due to hard licensing dates. This is why I increasingly favor XB - few games seem to get deslisted there, ever, the ones that do come with ample warning and almost always involve music licensing or publisher closure/buyouts/etc, and more older games have actually been added for sale.
