Folks who had PS+ in Jan 2015, and have been keeping up with the PS+ titles should have the ps3 version in their library already.

Ducktales Remastered Being De-Listed August 8th
- Thread starter ManaByte
- Start date
What if you got it through PS+ back a few years ago and your subscription is still active after the D-list date and then you let your PS+ lapse for a month and then re-subscribe, will you still be able to download it again if you deleted it prior to D-List date?
It's a licensed game, and the license probably expired and was not renewed.
If Microsoft can give out Too Human for free like that, I'm sure this will be in the clear.
If you purchase the game on PS4 but don't download, will you still be able to download from your library after the 8th?
I don't think the game's out on PS4.
According to Capcom, though, you'll be able to redownload it on the platforms it's available on.
Hmmm, that's a good question.
I would assume so, since I don't think a lapse in PS+ affects anything. When you want to download a game you previously purchased with PS+, you should always be able to access it as long as you have PS+. Whether the subscription was deactivated temporarily at any time is not relevant.
Do does the XBox One disc backward compatibility thing continue working after titles are delisted? As it seems that should be a way to always obtain new digital copies (even if they are tied to the disk).
Yes, you will get the game back. You have Ducktales on your account permanently on "Plus status" where you can play and download it if you have Plus.
Gameplay wise it's good. Sprites are incredible. However, the 3D backgrounds do not gel well with them at all. There is also a lot of story scenes, and while it's cool they got the original cast back for them, they really mess up the game flow as there's so many of them. I *think* they added an option to skip them later.
TBH unless you're buying it to own what I guess will become a rare game, I'd just go with playing the original, which is available as part of "The Disney Afternoon Collection" (though as with seemingly most games emulated by Digital Eclipse, this collection had bugs, dunno if they were ever patched out.
Yeah, don't fall for the talk like I did a while back. I was led to believe it was some amazing platformer I'd missed in the NES day's....yeah right.
Only worth buying if you want to have a game that's no longer available in your collection.
At least it had the chance to exist thanks to digital distribution.
While this may be true in some cases, this might be the last time you can get it cheap in case you change your mind in the future, so it's worth considering even if you only have a tiny interest in it.

At least it's on sale on steam. Probably the best place to get it since I mean, it's PC and it'll run on anything for some time to come.
Unfortunately it's not on Gog or anywhere DRM free that I can see.
What's funny is that it's on sale but the sale says it ends August 10th. Whoops somebody.
That isn't true at all. I just can't afford to buy every game I want to get at some point at release without any kind of sale. Nor do I know about every game all the time. I have to prioritize what I think me, personally, would like to play right now. But if something i am interested in is getting delisted, then it gets bumped up. This...isn't that crazy.
I'm tired of seeing this nonsense. People can't go back and discover old games apparently.

Bought the Steam version. Only $3 and change for a retiring remastered version of a Nintendo classic I played for countless hours as a kid? You betcha. Sorry I waited this long to buy it TBH
I remember missing out on some Ninja Turtles games that were retired and pulled and I never bough them. Determined not to make that mistake again if it's a property I'm interested in.

It appears the Steam release is a DRM free title.
I saw it on some list of steam DRM free games, so I installed it, moved it out of the steam install folder to another drive, closed steam completely and it launched up fine when I double clicked the exe file in the folder where I moved it.
That's not true. There's plenty of games I want, that aren't at the top of my want list. But if they're going to be delisted, I'd buy them immediately.
Wait
w...
what
Hold on did you just blow my mind??
IS THAT A THING???
THERE ARE STEAM GAMES WITHOUT DRM????
WHAT
THE HELL
Yes, some games just dump the game files in a directory you can launch without Steam.
Steam is not DRM. Steam has optional DRM.
Devs/pubs don't have to use Steam's optional DRM.
Steam allows DRM, doesn't require it. There are plenty of DRM free games on Steam.
I...
I did not know that some games on steam did not have DRM
this has changed a lot of things for me
oh my goodness
I do not know how I did not come across this information sooner
Apparently there is a list, idk how complete, of which games are thus
alright then
thank you everyone
What if there were no VAs? That game had as much talking as it did gameplay. It couldn't go 10 seconds without stopping to interject some unnecessary prelude to you finding the next treasure chest or whatever the fuck.
I had a wonderful time with the game's director, Austin Ivansmith, tons of years ago when you guys were working on the title. He came to a conference in Spain and we showed him a game we were working at the time and I created the world of it and he absolutely loved the concept (it was basically cuphead before cuphead, so classic black and white animation themed, but and adventure game isntead of a shoot and run). He was so cool he started showing us WIP animation of ducktales and how proud he was of the game the team was working on.
Sadly our game went south because problem with the team and a indiegogo not working out (and the sad thing is that I was talking with Chad Moldenhauer by skype just as they showed cuphead for the first time to see if we could help each other, btw another absolute fantastic chap, just a week before the team imploded itself).
Im so happy to see that the whole team was as happy working on it as Austin was (now you tell me you are actually Austin, if so, hi, hope you remember me from the spanish trip! hahaha)
I bought it to play on XB1. Already own on PS3, but it was a great game and for the price it'll be nice to be able to play on X whenever I want.
This is as intended. It's being delisted on August 9th at 5:00pm Pacific Time as noted in our blog post. That means it will be August 10th in some countries and time zones.
Yes, because the disc is essentially a key that allows you access to download the emulated version and play it.
My eBay seller hasn't shipped the game even though I bought 18 hours ago. Hopefully he doesn't pull some fuckery and cancel the sale because he thinks its suddenly more valuable now.
Just got it on Steam even if I heard that it crashes against the final boss for a lot of people.. that sucks.
It's not crazy that this keeps happening. Physical games also go out of production. You can't phone up Capcom and ask them to ship you a brand new copy of the game once it goes out of print and the license has expired to manufacture more copies. You CAN however buy a used copy off of somebody else who no longer wants the game.
A solution -- not necessarily an easy one but one that I'd like to see more effort on going forward -- to this problem with digital is that there should be some option to transfer individual licenses. I'm sure some "physical or nothing" people would not be satisfied still, but for many the tragedy of the Scott Pilgrim situation (for instance) could be mitigated if I could simply go online and find a seller that was willing to sell me their digital copy of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
