Vern3r0z Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Cant find this game anywhere on the EU store, this was not the case when it was released. Did they pull this only from the EU store. Upon cheking wheter or not its in the US store, at least the us website shows that it is in there. Does anyone have any info on the fate of the EU release?

Shadow_Kisuragi Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Looks like it got pulled some time in the last 12 hours or so. Was pulled from UK/IE/AU as well.

As i understood it there were some problems with the trophy list. I wonder if thats why they pulled it, or was the game never supposed to come out in EU.

Shadow_Kisuragi Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 There have been a lot of titles pulled from the EU store in recent days, not just this one. Seems to potentially be due to EU market problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Does anyone know why so many games have mysteriously vanished from the EU store during the last month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Kisuragi Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 No clue. Meow Motors was delisted twice and eventually came back, and they claimed vaguely it was something to do with EU PSN markets. Dark Quest 2 was pulled earlier this month after being in the store for 3 weeks, and the developers didn't even know about it or why when asked. Shikhondo's EU version was pulled earlier this week. I'm sure there's more pulled we're not aware of as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure, but think ratings are more complex just because of all the different countries, while in the US, it's the same across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Kisuragi Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 If the ratings directly were the problem, they wouldn't be in European markets on Xbox One as well. It may be interaction with SIEE and ratings potentially, but it's not directly the ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow_Kisuragi Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Interesting. Would explain why there's no rating for Dark Quest 2 on the PEGI site. It's actually the same for Skelly Selest - no public rating on PEGI site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indie devs can't afford to do this the, so I'm really not surprised. Especially if it's a small team etc. Ao if it is that, does it mean the game gets eventually released on EU again or what?

Milktastrophe Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I still don't buy the "PEGI ratings are too expensive for indie devs" excuse. For small games the PEGI rating will be cheaper than an ESRB rating, and will be around the same price as an ESRB rating for bigger games. If PEGI rating really is a bank killer, then Ratalaika must be richer than everyone thinks, since he gets to pay 2x to PEGI for all those stacks, to rate for both PS4 and Vita. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that PEGI operates similarly to the German rating board (USK). A full title seems to cost a little over 1k Euro to be rated once (additional fees not taken into account). Purchasing an official rating for a version on another system/platform (with identical content to a previously rated title) costs an additional 300 Euro (per system) according to this public chart: http://www.usk.de/en/extramenue/login/publisher/material/cost-overview/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingFever Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Why does it cost so much to get a rating and why the extra fees to re-rate games when porting it elsewhere, when it's the exact same game? I would have thought that would all be covered by the Platform rights holder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Industries Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 (edited) The game has returned to Australia and Europe. https://store.playstation.com/en-au/product/EP8925-CUSA14707_00-SSPS4SIEEDIGI001 https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP8925-CUSA14707_00-SSPS4SIEEDIGI001 Edited July 29, 2019 by FallenRyan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefinalboss_666 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It's such a great game. Just got the plat recently. Sucks for those who didn't get a chance to cop it while it was available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
