when after Konami's falling out with Hideo Kojima, the game was permanently revoked from the PSN Store.Wanting a physical copy goes beyond pure nostalgia/preferences, in such situations like these, I'd argue it can have actual advantages over having a digital copy.Ī third point which is less about the convenience of physical releases and more about what Mania could mean for future titles: Speaking under the assumption that Mania is not yet another a one-off classic Sonic project (which I hope isn't the case), I do not think (or personally want) future Genesis Sonic games to be restricted to low-budget downloadable affairs like how Sonic 4 was handled. Look at the respective controversies that happened with the Xbox One and its original "always-online DRM" incarnation before Microsoft reeled back with the changes as well as the playable demo P.T. There's also the question on the accessibility of these games if they are pulled from the servers and can't be (re-)downloaded again. Even in developed countries like the US, you still have areas where due to varying factors-bandwidth datacaps, slow ISP provider speeds, slow console server speeds, etc.-you have poor internet connection/internet download speeds if you even have internet at all. (And if we do get to that point, I'm fairly certain it won't be in the near future). This is partially off-topic, but I don't really think this is going to happen-not with consoles, at least, since apparently virtually every PC release nowadays don't come with discs. I understand those who want the disc, but it's only a matter of time that discs disappear and you only buy codes, at least on many countries.
