Unfortunately, the news that it won’t be available digitally is a huge blow to the game’s availability.
If only there were other, off-market alternatives for acquiring video games that aren't subjected to licensing agreements... 🤔

Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Paying a sketchy dude with Bitcoin who arranges a carrier pigeon USB stick drop to your window at 3 AM?
IP over Avian Carriers strikes again!
Imagine the mess trying to torrent using IP over Avian Carriers
I would actually pay for that. Sounds fucking awesome.
Yo ho, yo ho...
Oh god, it's 2K publishing.
Which means that the game disappearing from storefronts is one of the better case scenarios. It's entirely possible that they'll patch out the licenced songs from the soundtrack from every digital copy of the game.
That's why I buy on GOG. There I can pull the installer for a game and hoard it when I know the next update is going to go bad.
Music rights again?
