This happens to a lot of games, but most older ones, it didn't matter since they were physical copies. Digital stuff though, it is still being sold years later in most cases.

I bought The Order: 1886 for four dollars instead Don't even know if it's good but for four dollars it's gotta be really bad to be a waste I liked The Order. Has a lot of flaws, but there's potential for an amazing sequel if they ever get to make one. Story was interesting. Gameplay was okay, but there was just so little of it. Every time you'd start to get into any sort of rhythm, you'd catch another cutscene and the game would slow down again. Could've been a great game. As it is, it's disappointing and a bit frustrating because you can see the potential that's there if they just had the time/had taken the time to really flesh it out.
