Reasons for the game’s imminent removal remain unclear, but may have something do with its Games For Windows Live requirement. We’ve checked in with SEGA to try and find out.

Nevertheless, if you’ve yet to pick it up ,you can grab it for 80 per cent off on Steam until it gets pulled, with the game reduced to just £2.99 for the next week.
