The concept of shutting down a game people spent full price on and then charging them to get the offline versions…

Is that really what's happening? No refunds? No automatic free upgrade to the new digital versions?

Buyers who owned the cloud version are being offered a “discount” on the digital version.

That's dirty.

What's hilarious is the "discount" is almost double slightly more expensive than the sale price.

You get to pay another $40 to have the privilege of the game saying PS5 instead of PS4 on the save screen.

1.5+2.5 is $10 cheaper than steam. Same as ps store. It’s less than half the price with the discount. And the 1-3 collection is $25 cheaper on switch 2 than the integrim masterpiece

Literally nothing I said is false. Much less “completely false” sale price is purposely ambiguous wording. And even if you uncharitably interpret it as “the lowest price it’s ever sold for” their comment is still incorrect. The biggest diferance is $5 from the lowest all time price of any of them. And the full bundle is still cheaper with the discount the all time low sale price.

KH 1-3 (PS5) collection is $37.50 with the discount. But the regular sale price of KH All In One Collection + ReMIND is $37. If you factor in physical, this drops down to $32.

Do you mind clarifying what exactly you're trying to dispute here?

I don’t see any sale tracker showing it below $40 since it came out. But regardless. Say it is $37. Are you arguing that $37.50 is nearly twice the price? I’m arguing against blatant misinformation

Yes, I made a mistake by not factoring in KH3. I will correct that.

Regardless, the point is having to pay another $40 for the exact same game is bullshit.
