This was pretty obvious. It's a licensing issue preventing them from being distributed. They wouldn't even need the source code to sell them again, unless they were planning a remaster/new console ports.
FWIW, if anyone wants Fall Of Cybertron on Steam, it's still available at Amazon US

But do Atari still have the source code to the PS2 game? Because that was the best Transformers videogame.
I don't care whose virgin daughter has to be sacrificed to the old gods, someone make this happen.
It's already ported brother it released years ago it just needs to be relisted
Thank you for this heads up!
I've been wanting to play through Fall of Cybertron. The Steam key from Amazon activated without any issues.
As was mentioned in the other thread, source control and backups are only the first step, the true cause of losing sources is losing the institutional knowledge of where they are and why they shouldn't be erased during cleanups.
Because Hasbro has not or will not license them to do so on terms where Activision think it's worth their time.
Bear in mind that Hasbro may be very willing to grant the rights for them to be made available... but might want $20 million dollars and a rev share in exchange for a five year agreement. In which case "Activision are the blocker" technically but only because Hasbro is asking for completely implausible terms.
Which one do you mean? Transformers Armada? I'm always on the lookout for cool PS2 games.
It was just called "Transformers" in the UK but it has some Armada-esque plot points so could be.
Yup best thing to come out from that era of shows too
Yeah it's the game based off armada, it's a solid adventure third person shooter with micro-bots acting as skill modifiers and you can transform freely. Had some sick set pieces like tidal wave too
I played that game to death, despite it's incredibly limited character selection
Ok yes I was watching some gameplay of it right now on YT. I'll be on the lookout for this one from now on to add it to my PS2 games. I love stuff like this!
