Well, I mean sure. But if you don't have it, and you want to play it, and you know they're getting rid of it, the alternative is piracy. That's always an option, though.
There's also purchasing the console versions second-hand, but you actually (probably?) need the console for that and it's not really worth it for one game.
Buying the old version on steam is still 110% better than buying the remaster, and might even send a message. I just hate the idea that this shit practice of removing games will reward them with FOMO money, and want to remind people that other avenues exist.
You could also try yard sales, swap meets, and pawn shops if you want it on the cheap.
It was mostly a 360 game (might have been exclusive at the time) so it plays on basically any Xbox console. The backwards compatibility feature makes it worth it to own something like an Xbone for a lot of these situations.
Interesting. I know Sony has been very inconsistent on backwards compatibility and I assumed the same to be true of Xbox.
Literally the only thing that has kept Xbox in the market and selling consoles is their insane commitment to backwards compatibility. Starting during the Xbone's lifetime they were releasing regular updates to the console to get old games working on it. I think by this point the vast majority if not all Xbox games from original to current work on the latest console, and an Xbone before it ended its life was already at most of them.
Its probably one of the only "pro-consumer" moves any of the Big 3 makes, because they aren't really re-producing the games to monetize it and its mostly a purely pro-physical ownership move.
