Konami Pulls Metal Gear Solid Games From Sale
Konami has temporarily removed the digital versions of several Metal Gear Solid games from stores. The reason is licensing issues that need to be resolved for the titles to return to sale.
- Konami pulled most Metal Gear games from salel
- The reason are licensing issues.
Konami announced that it is removing several installments of the Metal Gear Solid series from digital distribution. The games in question are Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty and Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, as well as remasters of those games released as part of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for PS3, PS Vita and Xbox 360, Snake Eater's Nintendo 3DS port, Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance from GOG.com (though the game is still available here), and versions for Shield TV.
The reason for this move is due to licensing issues with the historical footage used in these productions. The games will go back on sale once Konami has resolved this issue - at the moment we can't buy these productions digitally.
In this case, the upper hand is once again on the side of boxed edition supporters, which are still available. However, it must be honestly admitted that the price of individual games can sometimes be dizzying.
