can't a studio just leave a product "abandoned" on steam store?

I mean, GTA 4 still has "games for windows live" enabled and steam don't care.
they removed gfwl years ago when they changed it to the "complete edition" and removed multiplayer, you need the rockstar launcher now

More games I doubt I'll ever play. :P

How many launchers do I have an account with already...

Steam
Epic
IndieGala
GOG
Amazon
Ubisoft Connect
EA

Rockstar Launcher was offering GTA San Andreas for free for a limited time before, but god damn, that's too many launchers as it is. :-/

What will happen in the future with all these launchers? They'll probably be around though it's annoying to have games split around so many services.

I've been trying to avoid the Rockstar Launcher and if I eventually play GTA IV on PC I'll still need it. lol

The studio went under and they were no longer able to maintain and update the game on steam. At least thats what the dev says.
still doesn't see the reason why they have to remove it from steam. they could still put it there for people to buy which means more profit, unless there's some kind of fees i don't aware of for them to sell it.

Just claimed Rayman Raving Rabbids via the Ubisoft PC launcher although I probably will never play that.

The GBA and DS versions look so much better and actually what you'd expect from a Rayman game! :)

The console versions all play the same including the 360 one, a bunch of mini-games clumped together.. I assume the pc version is the same?
Btw, i completed the game many times on the ps2, ah..

Rayman 4 got canceled for this crappy mini games' release. :(

The prototype of Rayman 4 is now playable on PC, but it's obviously very incomplete, buggy, and glitchy. Would be cool if someone made a custom version of Rayman 4 Protype where it'd only include playable stages, polished, and have fun playing it.

I can not download it. For me it does not appear to add to library. :(

And it's not in the library.
I claimed it and then when I pressed that button, it took me to my profile to download the game.

https://www.indiegala.com/library/bundle/2

That icon indicates a download should begin almost immediately (unless you're using a download manager), yet that's not how it works.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
