I remember when this was so absurd that it was funny, now it just seems like an inevitability...
One day it'll just be Tuesdayy
Except you'll also have to swear allegiance to the Supreme Leader before you can use any computing device.
Loved the uniform detail
Laughs in SSD full of digital copies they can never take away from me
COPYRIGHT ENFORCEMENT AGENCY!!! COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS OVER YOUR HEAD!!!
please connect to the internet to play single player campaign
Hitman, my beloved, you're such a good game but fuuuuuck the online connection thing.
Don't have to. None of them have any DRM
Good choice then.
I'm guessing the commenter is talking about GOG and/or "legitimate" piracy on PC.
(Legitimate piracy meaning you own the game legally but you downloaded a pirated copy to avoid DRM)
Valve also does this btw
I've seen stuff pulled from the steam store so it's no longer available for purchase/adding to my library, but the ones I already added, even undownloaded, have always still been available in my library, even if the game was fully defunct.
I’ve had my downloaded purchases from a humble bundle deleted from my PC after a couple days because the payment processor failed
That's a substantially different situation, I don't see how you can reasonably equate Sony removing game data from people's console post-purchase due to them no longer maintaining any servers to play on with Valve not letting you keep a game that was not properly paid for in the first place.
I don’t see how a different situation has anything to do with it? You can make any judgement you like but the facts are the facts
Got any sources for that? Only ever heard of them removing a game from sale, not removing it from someone who has already bought it.
Also GOG can't even do this if they wanted to, they are unable to uninstall a game you have downloaded already.
Yep, GOG doesn’t have the ability but Valve absolutely does. When my payment for a humble bundle failed (so, added to library and installed before the payment was resolved) Steam removed the games from my library AND drive
Oh, removing stuff you didn't pay for is pretty understandable tbh. Didn't realise they even let you play stuff before the payment is made.
