Konami has delisted several fan-favorite games from the PS Store without notice, prompting backlash from players. The yanked titles include the PS3 version of Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Peace Walker for PSP, and the 2014 PSN release of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.
Konami games delisted from PS Store likely in preparation for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Vol. 2
As has been the case with many games in the past, it’s widely assumed that the games were delisted in preparation for Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection Volume 2, which was given an August 27 release date at the recent PlayStation State of Play.
But the issue here is the upcoming compilation is for current-gen platforms, and the aforementioned games will become permanently unavailable on their respective original platforms for no good reason.
It’s a strange move and one that doesn’t make sense, so we can see why players are upset. It’s not like the older games would have impacted Volume 2’s sales.
The good news is that those who’ve purchased MGS 4 and Peace Walker from the dated storefront can continue to access the games. However, new purchases have been permanently disabled, it seems.
To be fair to Konami, PS3’s PS Store is on its last legs. It’s only a matter of time…
