My husband wouldn't allow that. Even now, I can see his disapproving stare at my PS3 that I keep plugged in only in case I want to play my old PS3 games.

What, is he not a gamer?

He's pretty casual when it comes to gaming.



Signature goes here!

I see. It's not a problem that I've had to deal with myself, though!

You should totally condemn that attitude by buying a lot of used consoles and hooking them all at once.



I imagine it will eventually return as a remaster.

MS doesn't own it so they can probably rerelease it on Playstation 4 at this point.

ROFL! Digital distribution is the future guys!

It is--if you already have it. Unlike the original print, there wasn't a limited number of copies. We'll still be able to download it if we delete it.. We just won't be able to buy it new.

Yeah and anyone who wants to buy it online...well shit outta luck. So again digital is shit once again.



Interesting. It's a good thing I own it already. By the way, it's also removed from other stores, such as GOG.

Isn't it one of the Xbox One BC games too? Since they kind of act like downloads does that mean if you don't buy it before then it won't work on BC either?

It is one of the BC games. As for the second part? Interesting question.

Seeing as it remains in the library after purchase, I assume if you buy the physical version that will still install. Wonder if that is answered in the twitter exchange.

Even if a Game or DLC has been removed from the store, if you have purchased it, then you can redownload it as many times as you want.

Same goes for Steam, if a game is removed from Steam it stays in your library forever and you can keep redownloading it.

If you have a Key then it should still activate just fine. This is just removing new purchases that's all.
Even the removal from Steam doesn't mean that Key sellers won't have a heap of keys in stock to sell over the coming years.

You haven't been able to buy it new, Physical for I don't know how long.

Any new and not 2nd hand physical copys will at some point run out as the publisher no longer prints any new copys.

This is no different then here. If you already own the game you can still download it. Sucks that the issue couldnt be fixed so anyone who did want the game can buy it. However in a case like this im ok with them users going the route of piracy just like im ok with users buying 2nd hand games..

You will still be able to buy it brand new digitally on PC for years to come.

Good news is that it won't be removed from Ebay. Physical FTW!
