TVGB: "One thing I love about videogames is how unpredictably awesome some of them can turn out to be. Point in case, Transformers. Two years ago, the franchise (unleashed in the form of Transformers: War for Cybertron) wouldn't settle for “good enough,” ultimately ending in wowing critics and fans alike. That said, not all Transformers games have been awesome. In fact, very few have so far, as few as… well, one. Award-winning High Moon Studios single-handedly brought the franchise back to life with War for Cybertron, and while the same can not be said for the tie-in Tranformers: Dark of the Moon, it didn't stop the developer from making the “true sequel” to War for Cybertron, Transformers: Fall of Cybertron, the likes of which will slug its way to stores in August later this year. And personally, I can't wait to get my hands on it. "
Activision's Transformers games have been relisted on the Xbox and Steam stores, suggesting they could be available in the future.
Aw snap, i pirated the first game since I couldn't get it on steam but couldn't get it to work. Guess i don't gotta go out of my way now. Now if only SONY worked with em to port over Edge of Time or remastered Shattered and Edge.
WTF? I’ve been wanting to replay Fall/War games. So bummed they didn’t make em backwards compatible. I think imma have to dig out my 360 out of storage
Really wish they’d finish off the Fall/War run as a trilogy. The IP’s being wasted on mediocre games.
I really loved those games, I have them on my Steam account, but I wish they made more games like that.
With the recent successes of Xbox's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, even Hasbro wants to see the classic Transformers games come to Game Pass.
C'mon MS find those games on whatever hard drive they're hidden on.
There's a few transformers games from Activision I missed out or didn't finish. Would love to come back to them at some point if they appear on GP.
“Activision’s not sure what hard drives they’re on in their building. When a company eats a company that eats a company things get lost, and that’s very frustrating.”
By Unicron’s beard, find them! 😳
Does Activision still have the rights? I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores.
I didn't really look into it at the time.
I thought so too, but these quotes come directly from the Hasbro panel. It seems Hasbro is willing and able to work with them again. At least in a retro capacity.
"Does Activision still have the rights?"
They do not.
"I thought they lost them, and that was why the Cybertron games left stores."
This is correct. I dunno if MS can/ would go back to Hasbro and try and negotiate a new deal.
But even if they could I doubt they would, same with Spider-Man.
While originally only the PlayStation and Steam stores were affected, now all the Transformers games on Xbox One and Xbox 360 have been delisted from the marketplaces.

You can always redownload titles you already bought, even delisted ones. And while the digital future may bring downsides like this one, it is inevitable nevertheless.
I grew with you but you will never convince idiots they are wrong, that's what makes them idiots.
Exactly, they can always be redownloaded!!!
I just downloaded Transformers: Devastation and War for Cybertron to check.
The article said it's because of Activision's license expiring. Unless there's a huge nasty internal disagreement about that sort of stuff, this delisting will hopefully not be permanent.
If you bought it, you can still redownload it as many times as you want. They're just not selling it anymore. We'd be in the same situation if physical copies ended their print run.
And yes, we are moving to an all digital future. All doesn't mean "all or nothing." You can still buy LPs in 2018. That doesn't mean the majority of the population hasn't moved onto MP3s and streaming music.
BluRay/DVDs are still sold but have been steadily decreasing year after year as people have moved onto streaming and digital downloads.
Physical books are still printed but are in decline because of e-readers/tablets/cell phones.
PC gaming has been basically 100% digital for some time now and you don't see them proclaiming that the sky is falling. It's just console gamers that are reluctant to accept the inevitable. I don't understand why.
"It's just console gamers that are reluctant to accept the inevitable. I don't understand why."
You arent a true gamer then. True money value for a game is in the physical copy. Digital is much more anti-consumer at this place in time. You cannot lend games to friends, and sure there needs to be a middleground. At this point I can go to my friends houses and trade switch/ps4 games like mario/zelda/horizon/gta5, which i cant do with digital. The needle is too far on the anti-consumer side. Steam tried it with family sharing, but its bs i have to sign in to a friends pc for "family share", why can't I decide which 5 friends can view my library from the my home?
Same situation if physical copies of a game ended their production run? Don't think you can buy many preowned digital games, especially when they've been delisted.
@spektical: Digital is not anti-consumer. if anything it is pro consumer as digital is much easier to obtain. And really a true gamer is someone who plays games no matter where or in what format.
Sounds to me you are more of a shelf collector than a gamer if you are worried about physical vs digital.
Physical copies that end their run still have the benefit of atleast having a used copy you can find for said game. There’s no such thing as a used digital game.
Pretty sure u can still easily obtain almost every game ever made physically. It's not like it's terribly hard to find people selling stuff. It's rare that I have to wait it out on something. Just last week I brought over 40 snes games all new, and their print run ended well over 20 years ago.
Otoh, my digital copy of r-typres which I actually paid for back at the start of last gen I'd no longer available for sale, nor is it available to download.
Digital has it's advantages sure, but this is one place where physical trumps digital, and the 2nd biggest reason why I prefer physical. The first is I actually like havi my something of value, which digital games don't beyond my own account
Yea yea, 1 or 2 games get de-listed and can still be downloaded by people who purchased and nobody really cares about them anyway and the retards come out laughing at the future of gaming, all the while they can't find 3/4 of their games they bought in the last 10 years, half of them probably don't work without skips/glitches, several, "disk 2's", are gone, several of the cases you opened, led to cracked games cus mum dropped your old collection while playing etc etc etc etc etc etc etc.
I swear console gamers here are 200 years old.
No ty, Downloading 40g games on a 445kb banwidth is MADNESS😆😭
i just wish they scraped that forced instal crap.
Same, got it from PS+ and I was determined to finish it because I am a huge G1 fan...sadly I never did.
Legend of Korra has been delisted from all marketplace stores as well. The rights expired with Activision.
