Yes! Grab it quick from somewhere if you have any interest in it.
It's the 'glorious digital age' where the rights to a game run out so anyone who missed out after can't just pick one up second hand or borrow from a friend sometime down the track etc.
If I hadn't purchased it on Steam, my unborn child would never be able to play it!!!
Honestly, I'd probably get my child to play my original Master System one instead anyway, but still. 
Woah, I'm completely pissed now.
I had pre-ordered Castle of Illusion on PSN back in 2013.
I go to my download queue -- and only the pre-order bonuses remain. No actual PSN copy of Castle of Illusion.
Sega pulled a PT and I tweeted them about it. On the store page itself it doesn't give me an option to download the game I purchased.

Odd. I pre-ordered the game on PSN too, and it's still there for me.

I always get antsy about titles I am even slightly interested in when I know they are going to be delisted. I get stressed because I know it's now or never. I have this via ps+ but don't like that it's tied to a subscription. The 360 version isn't on sale either. I convinced myself earlier this week that I did not need it and I should just put it out of my mind.
So I just bought it. Hope it's worth the $15.

You should, because the MS version is better than the Mega Drive version.

It's a server error, matter of fact use this instead as it will show all your games and is far better than Sony's

Welp. Won't be the first or last game purchase I'll regret. Maybe my kids will like it. It will look nice next to Ducktales on my ready to install list, if nothing else.

To be fair, on Steam you can buy extra copies to keep on your inventory, or buy extra keys somewhere else. You can also "borrow" the game from a friend who has it by using family sharing. So it's not as bad as you think

One of the annoying restrictions with digital games is this whole license issue. Imagine discovering a game a few years later, but can't even buy it. Physical lets you get it second hand at least.
There needs to be some new law for this age that makes the licence agreement per game and not for how many years.

It's for the Steam version by the way.

I impulse bought this out of fear of missing a great game, but now I wished I didn't
The game plays nothing like the original and the level design is also rather poor, and that annoying narration, omg XD
I'll still give it a shot, but the first impression is not good at all

Indiegala was sold out so i picked it up on the humble bundle store for $2.24. I have never played this or the original but it looks really fun.

I agree about the narration, thankfully you can actually turn it off in the options.

It's a 6/10 game, if you never had interest in it until now I don't see why you should pick it up. It looks nice however

I disagree, it's a really good game, that outshines the original greatly, gameplaywise. Visually and especially audibly there is no contest anyway. The soundtrack could be right out of Banjo-Threeie. Well, it couldn't because there is no Banjo-Threeie, but soundtrack wise Yooka-Laylee can't possible get closer to Banjo than Mickey did here.

Is the master system version that good?
I love the mega drive version, I moved on to that system after the master system and never really considered it for the old system at the time
I agree 100%
I'd say the same for songs in games as well.

It's good in its own way is my understanding.

I've played and completed both versions, and besides music and graphics, the MS version is much better than the MD version.
It already did on consoles, 5 hours in Steam (or at least their sale).

The game just got removed from Steam as well
I put 5 more copies in my inventory. They will be worth thousands in a few months

Given the replies in this thread, it's more likely that the problem lies within Indiegala.welp, buying soon-to-be-delisted games doesn't ensure you can keep them forever apparently. I got it from indiegala.
edit: forgot the link lol

This is something else. People who bought it from Indiegala are losing access to the game, even if they already have it installed.
