So NIS America Europe removed the game from PSN because the license expired!...

https://twitter.com/NISAinEurope/status/748417654726266880

The game was actually listed in the EU PS blog as part of the current sale, but users noticed that the game wasn't there.

I wish they could of warned us first, I only have the Vita version...

EDIT: ~~The Vita version was a PS Plus freebie and now they also removed it from my download list!?! Oh no...~~
Apparently it's still there if you bought it or got it from Plus.

UPDATE: Crisis averted. Atlus is publishing the game themselves in EU. So the game will return!

Thanks Atlus.

Sakujou · Jun 30, 2016

?! what kind of licence did expire? i read this in the pal psn store talk but no further info there. so what a grim digital future awaits us? (i have the ps3-disc version)

The publishing licence Atlus granted to NIS America. Which they decided to not renew and cut all contact with NISA.

Hugging my phisical copy has never been so satisfying

GinoFelino · Jun 30, 2016

So, can you still download it if you 'own' it?

Enjoy it as much as you can if you're an Atlus fan. Physical might not happen anymore.

Great, Atlus finds new ways to fuck over european fans every day it seems. Congrats to them, they remind me of Square in the 90s! Well, at least I already have it on my Vita but it sucks for people who might have wanted to try it because of Odinsphere.

ReaperXL7 · Jun 30, 2016

It would be a dream come true for me if this was a sign that DC was getting a remaster in the vein of Odin sphere for PS4 but it's probably just Atlus screwing it's EU fans again.

YianGaruga · Jun 30, 2016

I think there's a non-zero chance that Atlus will put it back up under their own name. I guess it depends how much they care about an old PS3/Vita game in Europe (lol), but having it gone isn't a good look.

Real question is if they will honor all prior licences, if removing from dl list is confirmed.

I'd just hold out for the Monopoly set at this point.

Nah, it's still on my list. I'm downloading it right now on my Vita just in case.

Kouriozan · Jun 30, 2016

angelic · Jun 30, 2016

Atlus shrugged

Farewell · Jun 30, 2016

Yes you can still download it, but the moment your playstation plus will expire, you wont be able to download it anymore, even if you extend it, at least that was the case with P.T.

Please update your OP as many people won't read the rest of the thread before being outraged

killatopak · Jun 30, 2016

fuck this.

Kresnik258 · Jun 30, 2016

No more physical copies being printed either.

Didn't NISA do the distribution work for Odin Sphere too? So that won't be around forever.

duckroll · Jun 30, 2016

This is probably just a transition to Sega relisting it.

Sega Europe isn't doing anything with Atlus titles in Europe. That would be a first

If anything it'll be self published by Atlus USA

Gotta start somewhere. Persona 5 isn't coming out until next year.

They could start with their own games like 7th Dragon <.<

Occam · Jun 30, 2016

Well, if you don't already own it, you can seek out a physical copy.

Real ownership is awesome. Physical for the win.

Well. Atlus games are their own games, technically.

And Persona 5 has something going for it that 7th Dragon hasn't: It'll actually sell!

Eurogamer is trying to get a comment from Atlus

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-06-30-dragons-crown-pulled-from-playstation-store-in-europe

Whether Dragon's Crown returns to the PlayStation Store is now up to Atlus. We're chasing it up now.

Didn't expect any of the sites to pick it up or do any actual journalism!

If NISA lost the license, there likely won't be any new physical copies either. So even that option will become increasingly expensive/difficult.

daemonkiller92 · Jun 30, 2016

Hopefully they renew it without much fuss. It'll also be interesting to see what the price will be when they return it. Will it be the one that was permanently discounted by NISA or the one from before?

The Atlus ride never enda.

Fortinbras · Jun 30, 2016

I bought it a week ago. Seems like I got lucky.

AbandonedTrolley · Jun 30, 2016

Did the EU never get it free, can't see that I have the PS3 version, although I do have the Vita version

Santar · Jun 30, 2016

Ahh, the glory thst is our digital future!

The free version was the Vita one.

Ah! Well that's annoying as I quite enjoy it but now obviously can never buy it digitally

To be fair you could lose your physical copy but I'll be able to redownload it probably as long as the ps store exists.

What? No P.T. was another case. PS+ freebies are yours forever as long as you reactivate your subscription.

Eolz · Jun 30, 2016

Why am I not surprised...
Since Atlus USA and Sega Europe are supposed to take care of that, I guess it'll never come back?

Or are they working on it and it's back next year?

They are "looking into it"

Ludger Kresnik · Jun 30, 2016

Thanks Atlus, you just keep on delivering. I wonder if we'll have to worry about Persona 4 Golden staying up as well. Everyone already has that, right?

It's on sale for 6 currently, so everyone who doesn't has no one to blame but themselves.

gogogow · Jun 30, 2016

Wow, they couldn't like give people a heads up? Really shitty for people who wanted the digital version.

2+2=5 · Jun 30, 2016

Glad i already have it(retail version)

Wouldn't have minded the digital version for my Vita though

It's impossible to buy in the EU store right now. The game's page gives out an error.
But I think it's still available in US.
