flashpool23 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) I was looking through the Games Under $15 sale currently going on and only noticed 3 of the 4 games from this series appearing with a discount. I clicked on the series' game pages thinking it would appear in related results and tried searching it but it doesn't appear. The webpage shows no price either anymore. Was this game removed recently? I find it odd that the rest of the games still appear and are even on sale at the moment but this one's missing.

HuntingFever Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 This was delisted about a year ago if I remember right so has been gone for a long time . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it? I remember it being on sale about a month ago but I may be misremembering. Edit: Looks like it was on a sale earlier this month actually. https://en.psprices.com/region-us/game/2720488/goodbye-deponia Guess it's on me for not getting it sooner but it's not like I'd predict it :/ Edited September 30, 2020 by flashpool23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydoki Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Oh wow, I wonder why would they delist it? :0 That's kinda disappointing to see, hope it's one of those things that will be resolved in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floorkiller74 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I was also looking at the sales and noticed one was missing. Just checked, it's still available on Xbox so maybe it's a mistake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elzueco Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 At this moment you can still get it at the HK psn store. I wouldn't wait too long to get it just in case as it is delisted in both US and EU stores.... https://store.playstation.com/en-hk/product/UP1440-CUSA13841_00-ASIA000000000000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usapro2017 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Why the heck would this Deponia game (the 3rd of the 4 games in the series) be delisted when the other three are still available?? All the games are from the same publisher so it makes absolutely no sense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizimmer Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) Its a long shot but maybe they are fearing some backlash from the BLM movement for how they treated black people in the game.,Here is a review of the game from when it was released back in the day that sums up the whole mess: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/11/11/wot-i-think-goodbye-deponia/ But who knows...

RNumbers Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 You can buy it on disc. Looks like an EU region disc, but there's only the one trophy list so it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerber108 Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Damn, I wanted to buy all 4, but without conclusion of the trilogy I'm not going to but the other 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cravinovv Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 I just played through this series because I bought a collection back in March of all 4 in 1 for 15$ and I can tell you there is a rather shocking moment of mistreatment of a black woman in the game that is absolutely the reason why it was delisted. It's a shame because it was the conclusion of the actual Deponia story (Doomsday is an alt-universe take and the worst game of the four for trophies by a hundred million miles) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In AS Store, you can still get all 4 deponia games because it's handle by a different publisher. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know for a fact, but I played all four games recently back to back and I can tell you Goodbye Deponia had a moment in it that made practically jump because it was shockingly racist. The kind of thing I expected to see in early 90's as a bit more 'harmless risque humor' but not a 2013 game. It is reasonable to believe with Sony's stance on BLM that they removed the game from the store prematurely so that it wouldn't come up to haunt them later. That is just speculation on my part. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your point makes the most sense, although not confirmed. The games are on sale again for even lower now too at about $1.29 so it could be that they all might leave soon as well. Either way, I appreciate your input since I had no knowledge about it and just thought of it as random (which could still be the case) but there doesn't seem to be a point in playing the other games if one is missing. I know they're sold in other regions but the price compared to what it's on sale for doesn't seem worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The controversy aside, the third game was a lot of fun. You can be thankful you don't have to tackle platinuming the fourth though as it has the worst trophy I ever encountered in a game and the worst trophy I ever achieved on my list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodygrotesque Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Yea they confirmed on Twitter that Sony didn't appreciate the humor, for the record its was very poor humor. Like orchestrating and selling a black woman to be the monkey for a monkey grinder just to take a finders fee for selling her is horribly not funny. Also there is the pedophile joke where the kids get approached by a creppy man in a van that tells them he has a petting zoo inside and when the kids tell Rufus "The rules say you shouldn't go into a strangers van" he replies that rules are meant to be broken and hops into the van. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMichigan Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 I just bought the other 3 on PS4 because of how dirt cheap they are. Never played them. I suppose I could buy this one on Steam. I think it's only available now on PS4 via a European physical release. Sounds way too expensive and not worth the hassle. It's also available on Hong Kong PSN.

Any charm the series might have had has worn off pretty fully by the third installment, IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad jokes and tasteless humor is a kinda universal issue, I really doubt it has anything to do with the fact that the studio is German.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
