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... 🤔
Paying a sketchy dude with Bitcoin who arranges a carrier pigeon USB stick drop to your window at 3 AM?

Swarm networking! Booyaaaah!
I would actually pay for that. Sounds fucking awesome.
I knew it wasn't just me that buys from Greasy Bob!
Yo ho, yo ho...
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.
That's why I buy on GOG. There I can pull the installer for a game and hoard it when I know the next update is going to go bad.
It’s still available on GoG.
Good old gog aka gogog
Unfortunately it’s gone from there now too
Music rights again?
I’m assuming people who already bought the game can still play it?
It's still in my Steam library. I'm not sure whether it runs, but I can't imagine it wouldn't.
Can confirm, was able to download it after it was pulled and it runs fine.
They should be able to. These things usually only take them down from sale.
