One Of My Favorite Games Has Been Removed From Steam And I Am Sad

@meharu: '"How a physical copy will get removed from my library? It is mine for good."

It was response to your post where you worded it like you couldn't access the game just because it is not a physical copy.

"It seems like you never owned a physical game before since they get all the patches released by the developers."

Yeah, i streamed all my games off the internet since the day i had NES in early 90's and the patches were frequently released on a chips you put inside those cartridges, great times.../sarcasm

Only ''patched'' games were the ''greatest hits' re-releases of games until the OG Xbox + PS3 brought built-in hdd's (except for those unlucky people with hdd-less 'Arcade' Xbox 360's and Wii's, lulz).

"Also as a collector, I'd like to get all the games that I like physically and as collector's edition when available. Some people won't care but many others do.''

Good luck finding all the physical copies of all the digital-only console games. BTW, all my PS4 games i bought are physical copies, because they end up being actually waaaay cheaper even at the very launch in my country, so i have literally zero reasons to buy them digitally (except the few digital-only titles i was interested in+all the DLC's, obviously...)

Oh and i'm a collector of 1/43 scale car models (the high-quality ones, not those cheap and poor quality toy-like crap), so i guess know what being a collector feels like... But... feel free to lecture/educate me even more because i'm obviously complete clueless when it comes to gaming and/or collecting.

@meharu: Someone can physically remove your physical copy from your library. Also, your physical copy will eventually stop working.

Some of my PS1 discs simply no longer read. So the argument that physical somehow is more permanent is laughable.

@Tidus1012: I'm gonna just copy/paste my response to the other guy

"Yeah, i streamed all my games off the internet since the day i had NES in early 90's and the patches were frequently released on a chips you put inside those cartridges, great times.../sarcasm

Only ''patched'' games were the ''greatest hits' re-releases of games..."

Also, without internet or when servers are down on consoles, you can't download the patches, so you are stuck with sometimes broken game or, for example in Gran Turismo Sport, completely unplayble game... BTW, you can play most of PC games in ''offline'' mode too, but i don't have a shitty internet provider so i can't relate on that ''issue''...

@Mogan: All my PS1 games have zero rot it depends how you look after your discs. If you're a slob that drops them on the floor and leave them in fluctuating temps then they'll rot. If you keep your discs in the same condition you bought them then they'll last a hundred years or more.

@Mogan: not to mention all the clutter of having hundreds of games cases and looking like an obsessed toy freak.
