you can buy it from amazon and activate it with a steam code. I just did that.

I dont know i ended up buying the game before it became unavalible but i belive you can still get it on amazon and activate it with a steam code or get it on gog

I hope the royalty dispute is resolved soon. I actually miss this game, and I'm afraid of it never being resolved.

[Harbinger]

The royalty dispute was resolved in an out of court settlement some 14 months ago and back payments cleared by the end of May 2018.

I expect Atari simply aren't selling the game any more so they never have to pay any further royalties to Frontier. Cutting their nose of to spite their face.

[Harbinger]

I believe the actual settlement was for a much lesser amount than Frontier were claiming was owed to them, possibly due to units purchased during price promotions.

It seems making F2P mobile games like RCT: Touch and selling card packs has been pretty profitable for Atari which is why they're pretty much exclusively focusing on the mobile market going forward. That and they managed to ride a wave of nostalgia (and earn $3m) on their Atari Box VCS campaign.

Atari will survive, the quality of their upcoming games and post-release support of pre-existing games will not improve any time soon.

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 is not available on GOG either, for the same reason it has been 'removed' from Steam.

[OfficerTerror]

RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 has been removed from digital stores.

The popular sim was removed from the likes of GOG and Steam without explanation from publisher Atari (we've asked Atari for comment).

A spokesperson for GOG told Eurogamer it pulled the game "due to expiring licensing rights", and stressed it'll talk with "new distribution rights holders" to bring the game back as soon as possible.

The best way to get RCT3 is to buy the mega pack dvd off amazon I heard somewhere that it’s just a steam code (I did redeem a mega pack code I got off a gray market site so the mega pack is a steam code esc thing)
