Oh look, another game that will be taken down, once the license runs out

[erretter]

Like every other Transformer game before...... so why bother?

This one has Remote Play Together tho

[FOTUS (Felon of the U.S)]

There's no online multiplayer so I'm not sure why that would matter in this case. Just grab it before its gone.

Honestly it's more likely it will be DOA than anything Devastation was only vaguely tolerable for the IP. There's never actually been a single successful TF game, they all fell flat a few weeks after release because of developers/writers who think they know what the actual fans want in a TF game.

You can still download and play any game taken down from the store as long as you have it in your library, so what's the problem?

That there should be more games like that and that new players can't buy them anymore.

That's just factually incorrect. Devastation, WfC and FoC were all friggin fantastic games. But yeah, basically every other Transformer game has been crap.

Transformers Armada was a highly rated late PS2 game. A solid game and very technically impressive with large open areas, a literal giant boss fight and smooth performance.

Out of the movie based games Revenge of the Fallen was a genuinely good game by Luxoflux and had a decent online playerbase for quite a while after release.

War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron were both highly rated by fans with active player bases for the multiplayer modes.

And Devastation was almost 100 percent fanservice. G1 characters and storyline with good gameplay from Platinum games who make the best action games around.

There have been plenty of bad TF games, but to say none of them have been successful is just wrong.

On topic if you buy the game before it's taken down it will be in your Steam library and there are always codes available after that.

I still have Hitman Sniper challenge despite it being delisted a long time ago

War For Cybertron was a great TF game. Basically the Arkham Asylum of Transformers games.

This is a new agreement years later with new game devs, there is no reason to believe they have the same sort of contract.

[360NoBrain]

the only game Steam removed from account was "Fist of Jesus". other than that, if its in your library then you have access to the last version the team left behind. Most games now are purposely poisoned through "nobody asked for updates" to sweeten the pot on buying the sequel

War for Cybertron, Fall of Cybertron, Revenge of the fallen (prolly not a bad thing) and Devastation were taken away :(

Did they? I still have Fist of Jesus in my steam account. Valve does invalidate keys at the request of the developers/publishers, and there's been plenty of cases of this happening, and that can also include removing the game from the accounts of people who activated those keys (this has been allowed to happen far too often...). But the only non-F2P game I think Valve has blanket removed from peoples accounts (and not just deactivated a set of keys) is Order Of War: Challenge.

I would frankly be surprised if Hasbro negotiated a non-time limited agreement with the developers of this game. It's rare for any IP holder to give up so much control over their IP, and Hasbro has shown in the past that they're protective of their stuff.

I still own all the Transformers games I had purchased that got taken down. If anything that is more reason to buy this now, because when it is in your library they can't take it away

Same.
