Unfortunately, the news that it won’t be available digitally is a huge blow to the game’s availability.
If only there were other, off-market alternatives for acquiring video games that aren't subjected to licensing agreements... 🤔

Oh god, it's 2K publishing.
Which means that the game disappearing from storefronts is one of the better case scenarios. It's entirely possible that they'll patch out the licenced songs from the soundtrack from every digital copy of the game.

It’s still available on GoG.

Haha, online games licensing sucks. It's almost as if, when we discovered we could distribute media freely and infinitely by digital means, we should have restructured how media and licensing works for these products. but we didn't, and now we have bizarre situations where publishers try to delete their own games from existence rather than spend some upkeep for music licensing

Music rights again?
I’m assuming people who already bought the game can still play it?
