What the hell is this, do i have to buy the game again on console? How do you explain this, finishing your game is not good explanation at all. I cant even download the "old version" anymore, so have the devs robbed me? I have payed for a game and now you take it from me. There should be a refund or free full version of the game

 
I'll clarify;

I have bought the game, with money, altough ages ago, but now it has been removed from ps store, i cant download it anymore. Now i should buy the full version of game, again? Altough i have already bought the game when in early access... Is this habit even legal

Ah, sorry this is in wrong section, should be in console thread not pc

TFP sold the console rights to Telltale Games. You bought the game from Telltale and Telltale got your money for that purchase--not TFP. You DID NOT buy the early access version available through TFP's website or Steam.  Telltale went bankrupt. That was the end for the console version of 7d2d that you owned.

TFP later repurchased the rights to release the game on console during the bankruptcy proceeding, or thereabouts. TFP then hired or contracted with another company to port the game to console. You are paying for TFP re-porting the current game to console.  I know that TFP was trying to work out a way to sell the console version at a discount for people who previously purchased it  but I don't know if they were successful.

 
Sucks, I know, but the old game was a Tell Tale property and simply can no longer be updated as the dev's don't have the rights. But I believe the dev's have said they have wrangled out a discount agreement for people who owned the previous game.

 
Discounts on console are not something TFP can do on their own.  The consoles themselves (Microsoft and Sony) have to agree to this.  In this instance, TFP was able to get a discount for people who purchased a digital copy of the console game but were unable to get approval for discounts for people who bought a physical copy of the game.  That's not TFP's fault.  That's entirely Microsoft and Sony.  As far as getting the new version, this is really not any different from buying newer versions of something like Madden.  The old console game and this new version are so different from each other that they are actually more different than Madden 23 and Madden 24.  So even if it wasn't a problem with the old console developer going bankrupt, it still might not have been free.

I understand the issue, especially when PC players don't have to buy it again, but consoles are an entirely different beast.  TFP can basically do whatever they want for PC.  Yes, Steam has rules and requirements, but TFP could just sell it somewhere other than Steam if they wanted to.  But with consoles, they have no option but to go with whatever Microsoft and Sony say.

 
Please dont sell us another bugy base whiping game then make fun of us... If it can't play well on Xbox or PS domt release  it. The pimps got rights back a long time ago and as of today you can still buy it on xbox. Telltail is not getting that money. Anyone who has purchased in the last week thinks they are getting 2024 version but get 2016 and will until 7-15 When delisted

Console has gotten short end of stick mostly Telltails fault but not all of it. if the game works and we will get support and updates release it, if not please dont release it
