Re: Syndicate 2012 Removed?

What @ivrognard describes is the first explanation of delisting Syndicate I have ever seen. There was this drama with delisting Syndicate Plus, Syndicate Wars and Ultima Underworld, which media wrote about earlier this year. EA eventually agreed they were wrong removing the games from digital stores and even shared them for free. But Syndicate 2012 just... disappeared. With no announcement, no media response, nothing. Hardly anybody noticed.

Very sad. I had this game on my radar. Finding out it disappeared only earlier this year is... well, hard to describe how I feel. The story with SecuROM gives some hope or at least it's good to know it isn't just EA's malevolence, rather some force majeure.

I doubt EA is going to bring it back anyway considering how unpopular/unsuccessful (no matter how good) the game was. Huge pity.

However, can the game still be played if it was previously bought via digital means?
