A load of bollocks...more people should play this game...and the first Darksiders with it.

the beauty of digital distribution removing from the download space so no else could buy it

and this why i hope digital only consoles will flop

I agree digital only consoles are no good at least with PC you can download them direct from the internet without the need of a digital platform like abandonwares and etc but with consoles that option isnt there unless you hack it but I like having things physically and legit

Though I also consider the digital-only era a terrible idea, it has been stated before that you can redownload the game from the eShop if you have already owned it in the past.

If I'm not wrong, every major console allows this. They take the listing off of their online stores, but if you check your Download History, you can still download them just fine. That has been my experience with the PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, and what I hear of Steam and the Wii U.

I remember when the PS3 accidentally listed a PSP digital demo that was in fact a full game. I then downloaded that thinking it was a demo and saw it disappear shortly after. But browsing my catalog of old games I could re-download I found the games full version still unlocked.

On PSN any game that you purchased can be downloaded, even if it is removed from the store.
