Think about it this way, would you rather have them spending time making better dlc in Horizon? Or them spending more of their time developing FM5... The game that we're all really waiting for?
That's a poor way to look at it, and I'll explain why:
Take a look at FM4's DLC each month. It was, usually, almost all new cars to the series, with one or two facelifted versions of cars already in the game. It was fresh, and the strength of that DLC is an oft-quoted reason that many people bought the Season Pass for FH.
Yet we've had mostly decapitated current cars, or straight FM4 ports, so far. It's pretty disheartening, but it
could be handled far differently. If they were actually working on
new car models, not stripping out FM4 cars only to re-sell them to us, that
would be developing content for FM5. It'd be more exciting, interesting DLC for FH, and we could also look forward to them being in the next Motorsports title.
I'd be less annoyed about all this if the shipping day car list wasn't so monumentally weak compared to FM4. Yes, we knew we'd be getting a cut-down list, and obviously all the race cars would be cut (oh wait, unless they have a prancing horse on the front), but there were talks of 200-ish cars, which required almost
no extra work over including 400 cars. All of the assets were already made and available to Playground games; the fact they intentionally cut them out to sell them back to us leaves a sour taste in my mouth for what might come for FM5's DLC.
I almost gave my copy to my girlfriend's brother for Christmas. Depending on the rally expansion, I might follow Luminis' lead and trade it in. The problem with that being the people in charge won't ever see that; they already got my money.
