Some Lord Of The Rings Games Have Been Delisted On Xbox, PlayStation, And PC

It's stuff like this that makes physical still valid and streaming services less appealing.

I have been a physical consumer, until the last year and started to buy more digital, but stuff like this makes me think twice.

Might buy the spiderman game on physical now

Didn't expect that as WB was the publisher of those games.

This explains the recent giveaways of both games.

This is the same reason why you still can't buy The Drew Carey Show on home video. Really sucks.

so this is why humble bundle gave both of them for free this past month...Glad i read my mails and got them!

Also, games like Shadow of Mordor stayed listed because Warner Bros owns both the IP and the game studio. Where as LEGO games are licensed to Traveler's Tales.

Note to everyone who buys digital (like me): If you're even slightly, passively, interested in any licensed property video game, buy the damn thing now!

This is what I did with the TMNT, Deadpool, Spider-man, etc, games.

I guess the physical versions will become collectible now...

This is what I hate about licensing agreements. Over time, you won't be able to buy games digitally any more. Another example is Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends. The licensing agreement expired on New Years Day, so it's no longer available digitally. Another would be Doctor Who: the Eternity Clock. I suspect this will also happen to games with licensed music like Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, etc.

Great... So this is what will become of video games once we go full online...

Man Warner Bros has some really epic ip's under their belt they've barely exploited in video games.
