Out of nowhere guys, seems it will be offline from 9th August (Friday!) I imagine physical version - Which I think is only the PAL version (?), will sky rocket after this, so if you had any interest in getting it, now would be the time!: https://uk.ign.com/articles/2019/08/07/ducktales-remastered-being-pulled-from-digital-storefronts-this-week Side note, I know years back it was also Free on PS+ So worth checking! |

I saw this, too! It's cheap as hell and a pretty good game all around, so if you have even the smallest amount of interest you should pick it up. |

Thanks for the heads-up! This is not the first, and will not be the last digital version of a game to be removed so always insist on a playable (right out of the box), physical version whenever possible or look for legal DRM-free versions whenever possible. Many game storefronts, publishers and developers do not share the same vision and views as game collectors and preservationists, so when things like this happen, games could potentially disappear into the void forever. Even mobile titles released on iOS and the Google Play Store are not immune to this, which is quite unfortunate as titles on those platforms are normally digital only. For a classic example of this problem, look no further that P.T, a game by Kojima Productions released on the Playstation Network for a very brief period of time only. |

Oh it is very concerning, this time next year there will be so many people yearning to play it I bet! I have the PS3 version on disc, but I'm also going to download the 360 version tonight as that version is backwards compatible with Xbox One! It's also why heavily support HD Remasters/Ports, the Resident Evil ports on PS4 are a prime example of how to do it right, so I can't bash Capcom over this. |

I just bought a physical copy of the Wii U version from my local game store, The Exchange. |
