Not really. Just heard Sony is tying the upcoming Gean Turismo to an always online system. Even for singleplayer.
Diablo and Sim City also tried this in the past. If that's the case your only options is them reversing that choice, or 3rd party servers and emulation.
@CrimsonIdol PT is not even a game, it's a demo that you actually never paid for. I am pretty sure you never had any ownership on it, so they could revoke it completely.
I have the OG scott pilgrim game for ps3 I can download at anytime as well as Marvel vs Capcom 2 and a few others. OG Dragon Quest XI etc. A test version of a game is an entirely different situation.
TheRealTedCruz8h ago You have Sony putting physical releases on an always online system just to play single player.***
You mean the GAME which hasn't been delisted and has even been re-released under the PS Classics label for both Bluray and PSN, which is £15.99 max??? The same game you can put onto your PS 5 and either move it to SSD, or run it from disk, or better still unplug your PS 4 external drive and plug it into the PS 5... Where it will instantly be added to you PS 5 library, which can be re-downloaded from PSN. Backward compatibilty is only useful if the games are still there. AKA Legacy Software, Once you input the disk in the PS 5, it will give you the option to go ONLINE to update the many Software/game updates awa..
The game launched with 168 cars and 29 tracks; post-launch game updates have brought the count to 324 cars and 82 track configurations as of December 2019.[2][3][4] The free updates also added a more traditional single-player campaign mode to the game.[5]***
AWA a TRADITIONAL Single Player Campaign mode, plus all the Tracks/ Cars released in the last 4 years.. CLUE: GT 7 has a GT Sport button meaning B/C from WITHIN the game, which is why single player requires ONLINE access.
With GT 6 I had to keep my PS 3 going, even when GT Sport released... Now with GT Sport I can simply use my PS 5 and have the best of both worlds... Oh btw re car licences.. Car manufacturers love having their cars in sims, as exposure means new customers.. The only manufacturer who arrogantly wanted money, was Porsche, so PD gave them the finger and used RUF instead. Porsche announced their partnership with GT Sport https://www.youtube.com/wat...
at the international Car Motorshow at Frankfurt, where they announced "The Living Legend" awa a Vision car... The Porshe being shown in the GT 7 trailer was the Living Legend... Which means that GT Sport and GT 7 will be supported for long time to come.
***Companies like Valve have a system in place to back up your entire catalogue, even if their servers shut down.***
Valve isn't a charity.. They charge 30% to devs/pubs, which is the same that Sony charges.. Sony however charges that for a SIMULTANEOUS release, on PSN and retail, pressed at their Digital Audio Disk pressing plants across the globe. Epic only charges 15% and has free games, the only reason PC fanboys stick with Steam is because of the legacy software at the Steam store/account.
***The issue isn't digital vs physical; it's which companies are actually respecting your past purchases.***
Rubbish. PC fanboys will be denied the game via Gamepass if it was released there[??] same as newbie Series S/X who are future buyers. Every Forza to date has been delisted apart from Forza Horizon 4... Yet the next out is Horizon 5, not Forza 8.
12 something [= Something is afoot Watson]... When the Brit spinoff is being released before the American ACTUAL game. They are supposed to be doing Fable also.

Why is it being delisted?
Thanks for the reminder, grabbed it
I hate seeing this happen.
It's a game.
Pay a lump sum and go on about your business.
This is why emulation is almost a necessity in this day and age.
Yet another reason why we shouldn't be embracing digital games as the future
