Kind of mixed on this one for me. On one hand it's a win against microtransactions, since a big name like Marvel isn't enough for people to buy it, so much that it has to be delisted. I think that's a huge win and I think it's worth mentioning.

On the other, preservation is a thing and I'm wondering if this game could somehow still be played if it's taken off the store. Granted I'm not familiar with this game so I don't know if physical copies work, or if they're just codes with a plastic shell. Or even if this game would be playable once the servers go down. I know it's not the best game to keep around, but history deserves preservation, etc

preservation is a thing

so is piracy

also, not everything is worth preserving

I disagree. I think games are definitely worth preserving, even if they aren't that fun. Regardless, this game has historical significance and should at the very least be playable after it's delisted.
