However, just a few days ago when this list was announced, to many gamers’ surprise, Forza Horizon 5 was nowhere to be seen on the shortlist of Game of the Year nominations....
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published on Friday, the 69-year-old businessman said he was at an 11 a.m. meeting with Japanese broadcaster NHK on the morning of July 18, 2018—when suspected arsonist Shinji Aoba allegedly started the blaze on the first floor of the building by covering the floor of Studio One with gasoline before igniting it. Less than a minute later, the flames had reached up to the third floor, and would take five hours for firefighters to put the majority of it out....
