Some filmmakers, game developers, and characters achieve a certain status that is best described as iconic; a standing that is based on the fact that to remove or erase their contributions to pop-culture would create a terrible world, a place of human sacrifices, dogs and cats living together - mass hysteria.
Icons is an ongoing feature at IGN Stars which chronicles the aforementioned heroes of fandom and their rise to iconic status.
Solid Snake is once again set to sneak his way into gamers hearts, with the release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. To prepare for his final great adventure, IGN are looking back at the people, the weapons and missions that made the man.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD have been delisted from digital stores without warning.
Stupid headline. Should state that they are being updated or discontinued. This makes the crazy people that only read headlines think it some kind of conspiracy to take away peoples already purchased games.
If you want to all of a sudden own them now and haven't played them yet because a remastered is coming out, shame on you. I can't believe people are complaining about this 15 years later when it was bound to happen anyway. "A new remaster is out, quick, I'd better buy the original from the shop."
Gamers: "Physical? who needs physical? everyone knows that digital online games are the future. stop living in the past. we don't need no stinking disc drive"
Same gamers: "How dare the delist a digital game that I own!!!!"
And? What is your point?
Same gamers: "How dare the retailers to delist (quit selling) a physical game that I own!!!!"
I think you just read the headline and don't know how dilisting works with Sony. It's common knowledge that:
"Players who already bought the games will still have them in their library and can download and play them as usual."
So again, what is your point?
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is a remake of the original 2004 PlayStation 2 game from Konami and is now available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC.

You're not gonna include Ratchet and Clank Up Your Arsenal or Jak 3 on that list? Just change it to Fall 2004 Releases and include the masterpiece that is Sly 2.
