I asked for a refund and got nowhere.

This is one of the negatives of an all digital future. You're at the mercy of the store and if you read the small print, you don't own the game.

That is why I love having my blu-rays and games on my shelf. Right where I can see them. They can't get away from me.

Not if these things are regulated properly.

The problem with the modern economy is that politicians simply do't understand any of this stuff (how many of them even play video games?), so just let the market run its course.

What needs to happen is regulation, such that laws of sale are established which cannot be overridden in small print. Perhaps then, we might see an end to misleading terms and conditions, casino-like micro-transactions, and such.

PT was a free demo.

crazed_shadow273554d ago

Wether it was free or a demo is irregardless. If you got a free slurpee on 7/11 day and after taking your first sip the cashier takes it back, how would you feel?

Joey_Leone3554d ago

If only the pt demo was in a disc, like the ones that would come with a magazine back in the day, that game would be playable to this day, too bad its digital only, a wasted gem.

Why after first sip? Pt was avaliable for a year...it was known when it would be taken down... this comparison isn't equivalent.

It's still on my hard drive. UnlikEly to be deleted by me

@Joey_Leone
@mkis007

Totally agree with both.
My comment was a answer to @crazed_shadow27 to their stupid question. I didn't like see PT be deleted, because i even not had the opportunity to play it. BioShock and PT are too different situations, even because i believe PT wasn't really cancelled, Konami only do that, to gamers have their attention in MGSV.

Sure, it released back in 2014, but it disappeared from the App Store after only a few months due to incompatibilities with iOS 8.4 and later.

After how they threw out the pc verson of the remaster this doesnt not surprise me at all

brich2333063d ago

There is a remaster for pc, I own it. It was actually a free upgrade added automatically to my steam account.

OoglyBoogly3063d ago

If you already owned them.

xX1NORM1Xx3063d ago

8 down votes? Does no one remember how bad the remaster was at launch I know it was a free upgrade but it didn't even work for some people on PC it took massive complaints before they released a patch because they said they weren't going to patch it

Mrveryodd3063d ago

Apple are the worst .... My iPod touch 4 Is useless thanks to no updates for the past 3 years .... I understand as things get older you can't support them forever , but this was dumped like a hot potato 2 years after I bought it ... .... Man I paid $299 for it .... It should be supported imo

OoglyBoogly3063d ago

Maybe if the iOS version wasn't complete garbage it would have done better.

Agree it does not make sense... also Irrational, persons like Ken Levine announcing it at a Sony conference... while it was nothing but "ideas".

danny8183301d ago

Defiantly consumers were decided. ALot of future projects and promises announced and nothing but cheap ports were materialized. Definitely sour with Sony. The console was purposely killed.
