Forza Horizon 6 leak not a "pre-load issue," Playground Games claims as dev bans entire bloodlines for playing pirated copies

If I had a nickel for every big triple-A game that's been leaked early over the past couple of months, I'd have two nickels. It's not much, but it's certainly a big problem. Forza Horizon 6 has been uploaded to Steam in its entirety, opening it up to the videogame seven seas. While, initially, it was thought to be a preload issue in the same vein as Pragmata's premature arrival, Steam tracking site SteamDB suggests otherwise. The news comes as developer Playground Games has gone on a banning spree, nuking the IPs of anyone caught with an illegitimate copy for thousands of years.
