[MaverickHunterX]

Just received an email from indiegala saying they're having a 85% sale due to the game being "retired" on September 2nd.

Any other sources for this?

(Buying it from ig should get you nail'd for free - free key with every $1+ purchase)

EDIT:

Got burned on the Indie Gala code, too, but it's $2.25 or so on the Humble Store, $2.01 if you're a monthly subscriber.

 

[MadClacker]

And this is why I like physical copies...

 

[Salsa]

I doubt it wouldnt get renewed

it's a good game. certainly a lot better than that crap new Ducktales released around the same time

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

And this is why I like physical copies...

Reminds me that I need to nab a retail copy of Ducktales Remastered before it gets stupid expensive.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

That's like in a few days. Thanks for the warning, publishers.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

It's on sale on PSN as well right now, so I'd gamble on this being legitimate.

 

[BocoDragon]

Still available on Xbox 360 as well....

I am considering picking it up if it's getting delisted. Would be nice to get confirmation.

 

[oldmario]

there was a thread the other week from playstation japan about the game being delisted so i guess it's happening WW

 

[Corpekata]

Sega's listed as publisher and they don't seem to have any Diseny stuff going on so yeah, license is probably expiring.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Ya it was announced 5 days ago that it would be delisted on 360/PS3 but seems to have flown under the radar

It's being delisted on September 1st.

[Crimsonclaw111]

So, how good is this game?

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Just wondering, is there like an official GAF thread for games being delisted - like an extra warning since the publishers don't care half the time?

 

[Maximo]

So, how good is this game?

"Decent" I mean on a sale like this its worth it.

 

[Tizoc]

So, how good is this game?

It's a good remake IMO. Soundtrack is good and you can have Sully narrate the game's story.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Thanks for the heads up. I've been curious about this game for a long time and at that price I can't say no.

 

[Acorn]

Is it bc on xbox one?

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

<Looks> Yeah, I already have it on Steam and PS3. I'm pretty sure the PS3 version was given away with Plus some time back. Remember, if you own the game one way or the other you'll still be able to download and play it after it's delisted.

Is it bc on xbox one?

No.

 

[muzzymate]

Is it bc on xbox one?

No, and probably won't be if it gets delisted before being released in a backwards-compatible form.

 

[BocoDragon]

I wish it were on sale on Xbox... I like my Sega stuff there. Phooey.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I thought I got this game free from ps+

 

[Leafhopper]

Not this instance in particular but, why is Disney so weird about digital games in general?

 

[Shanlei91]

I doubt it wouldnt get renewed

it's a good game. certainly a lot better than that crap new Ducktales released around the same time

 

[Big Nikus]

Thanks OP, I totally forgot it was gonna be delisted.
I love the original. I already played the remake on the 360 but I need to play it again on PC.

 

[HoodWinked]

how do delisted games work on steam if you still have the key after its been delisted? can it still be redeemed or does it have to be redeemed before its delisted.

It can still be redeemed. I did it with Prey, thanks to a GAFfer with some old physical copies.

 

[Version 3.0]

So...I have this game because it was a Playstation Plus game a while back. But I don't intend to renew PS+ when it expires. I can't buy the game because I'm a plus member for now; unless it's changed since I last looked, you can't buy games that you "own" on PS+. But when that expires, I won't have access to the game, and it'll be gone.

Am I out of luck? I suppose I should just buy it on 360.

edit: not on sale on xbox.com

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

I just got this an accidentally made agift link for the game.....clicked it and all I see in the box is this long string of code but no steam key :S

 

[maxcriden]

First game my wife and I played on PS3 and we enjoyed it quite a bit.

 

[DieGo2SHAE]

Looks like I'll have to dig my ps3 out of the closet to download it from PS+ before it vanishes.

 

[Khaz]

There may be a problem with the key generator. I claimed it for myself but got
KeyId: something-something-somethingGame Key: SOMETH-INGSOM(cropped).
The other game I got with it had its key generated fine.

I've sent them an e-mail.

Yep got the same

least it's not only me

 

[rootbeerafloat]

Yeah, my steam key is cut off because there's a bunch of other crap in its box.

Apparently I'm not the only one.

Not worth dealing with support over $2.24. Oh well.

 

[Sagitario]

And bought. Thanks!

 

[ReBurn]

I think I bought this on PS3. I don't think I ever played it.

 

[Claude Augario]

Glad I grabbed it in the summer sale.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Well I bought it just in case just now

 

[dallow_bg]

Currently $3.74 on PSN.

Well, unless I'm missing another one, this is now a problem for the first delisted PS+ game.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/04/14/playstation-plus-castle-of-illusion-free-for-members/

This game was given out on PS+ two years ago. My PS+ doesn't expire for many months.

That means I'm unlikely to be able to purchase it on the PSN, which means that the game is essentially held HOSTAGE by the PS+ subscription.

Sony needs to fucking fix this. They're literally losing money.

Yup. This is fucking inexcusable

Yep, you'll only have access to it from now on if you have an active PS+ subscription, since you can't buy your PS+ games while you're subscribed.

I might be wrong; last time my PS+ expired, I bought Resogun, Tokyo Jungle, and a couple of other games that I previously had on PS+. This might have been one of them, but I don't think so. Anyway, it's dumb. Let me give you my money, Sony!

Stupid suggestion but does any retailer sell an activation code for PSN like Amazon or GameStop for this game?

 

[entremet]

Hah! Same.

 

[Metal Khaos]

Nice heads up. Going to grab a copy now!

 

[chromatic9]

Just bought it on gamesrepublic for £1.50

https://gamesrepublic.com/game/action,castle-of-illusion-starring-mickey-mouse,8118.html

UK people might want to check them out. Offer lasts till Sep 2

Thanks OP, I was looking at this in the steam summer sale but just totally forgot afterwards.

Thanks! Bought.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Once it's delisted on PSN, will I still be able to redownload it?

 

[Justinh]

Yep, you'll only have access to it from now on if you have an active PS+ subscription, since you can't buy your PS+ games while you're subscribed.

That kinda sucks. At least on Xbox One you can "buy a copy" of games that were given away as part of their subscription.

Once it's delisted on PSN, will I still be able to redownload it?

You should, unless there are some like... P.T. shenanigans occur. You'd likely be able to I'd wager.

A little bit more, but it's £9 on EU PSN and Sonic CD is about £2.49 (PS3).
