Forza Horizon 5 launched on November 9 with many reviewers giving it high scores. However, the game hasn\u2019t been entirely perfect, boasting multiple glitches and exploits\u2014some of which provided cheaters with near-infinite money. Another big issue that\u2019s come to light since the release is the game\u2019s language filter. First, players were furious that they couldn\u2019t use their real name on their license plate, and now a player has allegedly been banned for re-creating the NELK Boys\u2019 \u201cHappy Dad\u201d seltzer logo on his car\u2019s livery. Forza player banned for creating NELK boys seltzer logo On November 23, u\/ViralHQ took to Reddit to inform them about his recent ban on the latest Forza release. He said: \u201cSo apparently I got banned today for re-creating The NELK \u2018Happy Dad\u2019 hard seltzer drink Logo\u2026 SMH.\u201d Read More: Forza Horizon 5 treasure chest locations &#8211; Other fans of the game instantly became furious after reading Viral\u2019s post, as there are other similar liveries available in the game. In another reply, the idea of it being possible copyright infringement was brought up. It reads: \u201cOk this is walking in copyright\/trademark territory in truth, other similar known logos are historical brands, reproducing historical trademarks in context is actually completely legal.\u201d Just a couple of hours after posting, ViralHQ provided a few updates regarding his ban. He stated that his ban was labeled as \u201cDisruptive \u2013 Illegal drugs or controlled substances,\u201d while his second update explained that two of his support tickets were closed without any response. Comment byu\/ViralHQ from discussion inForzaHorizon To make things worse, the player claims that even though he has been banned for creating the logo, it\u2019s still available in-game and has been reported, giving him a strike towards making his ban longer. While the well-received game has been met with its fair share of issues, it always could be worse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forza Horizon 5 player allegedly banned for recreating NELK Boys\u2019 seltzer logo Microsoft\/YouTube: NELKA Forza Horizon 5 player has allegedly been banned from the game after re-creating the Nelk Boys\u2019 \u201cHappy Dad\u201d seltzer logo in the game.
