Warner Bros. has issued a statement regarding the removal of both LEGO The Hobbit and LEGO The Lord of the Rings from digital storefronts.
As reported a couple of days ago, the two LEGO video-games based on the works of J.R.R Tolkien were found to be unpurchasable from Steam. Though the pages regarding each games were still present within the digital store, the option to download them had been removed. And it seems the option will not be returning to anytime soon - despite no prior warning of their removal from Warner Bros..
The new statement from Warner Bros. confirms their removal from digital stores, though doesn't mention their reasoning for it. The statement mentions that if the game is in your library, you'll still have it - so that's at least something to be thankful for.
Here's what a WB representative told PC Gamer on the matter: “Lego: The Lord of the Rings and Lego: The Hobbit will no longer be available for sale in digital stores. The games will remain in players’ libraries if they already own them.”
What do you think of their statement? Are you for or against the evergrowing digitalisation of video-games?
