![]() ![]() given my declining interest in modern gaming, in general, there have only been small handful of titles i've done that for, this year. i've stopped buying digital titles unless it's something where i particularly want to support the work and am fine essentially considering like a ko-fi or patreon pledge for the developer. what nintendo is doing is particularly draconian and heinous, but both competitors have already done or dabbled in this and will again. I expect to see more of this from microsoft and sony going into the future - digital preservation is not a high concern for corporations. though a physical disc does exist with the patch and most of the maps, it's missing a couple of the last ones. not to mention the maps you can't get without piracy, anymore. this is particularly killer for a commonly split-screened game like halo 2, where its first major update drastically rebalanced the multiplayer in a hugely positive way. ![]() anything downloaded for their first console is gone in the wind. that doesn't remove the fact that they killed everything for the xbox, though. wouldn't be surprised if microsoft has done the same for some 360 stuff, but last i checked you still retained the ability to redownload everything if it got delisted. there are some ps3 titles and pieces of dlc that have been both delisted and cleared from server history, meaning your license doesn't even grant you access to them anymore. Neither of Nintendo's competitors are doing this. ![]()
