Good examples, but this one didn't make sense to me:
>Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game disappeared from Xbox and PlayStation stores in December 2014 when a license expired. Players campaigned for years before a remastered edition arrived in 2021.
I mean, physical stores can also stop selling a certain game. Existing sold games were unaffected. Why does this matter?
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game was digital-only, so nobody could buy a copy of the game if they wanted to, since the only places which sold the game stopped doing that, and used copies by definition don't exist.
Physical games can still be bought even if stores stop selling them, since the used marked will still be around (the game might be rare and command a high price on the used market, but at least it's possible).
