I own it on DVD so I can still play it, but it'd be convenient to have it on a digital store, and for friends or others to be able to buy it for multi-player.Lead your favorite LEGO® Star Wars™ characters into real-time, multiplayer PvP battles in arenas inspired by iconic locations from throughout the galaxy! One of the biggest disappointments to me personally is the fact that Lord of the Rings Battle For Middle Earth 2 is not available on any digital distributors due to such licensing issues and probably wont ever come back either, and it is IMHO one of the best RTS games ever made. Then when you have multiple things licensed such as LEGO + Star Wars or LOTR etc., it just gets more thick and complex of a legal mess.
So after a few years they lose the licensing of one or more things and can't sell it anymore nor bring it back without re-licensing everything again, and the chances are that the licensing costs the same or more even than it did the first time per se, but the game will likely not make anywhere near as much money as it originally did so there's greater risk and less financial incentive to bring such games back from the dead. of big properties, is that such licensing agreements almost always are not in perpetuity but with a range of 5-10 years or so because it is just too expensive to license things in perpetuity like that. Yeah, that's one of the big problems with games that license various media/trademarks etc. Seems strange given Warner Bros' have already paid for Tolkien licensing with the Shadow of Mordor/War games and others but I guess the LEGO versions weren't guaranteed moneymakers, especially considering the alleged Five Armies DLC for The Hobbit that never materialized and left that game "unfinished" in terms of story mirroring film treatments. It's likely the licensing that isn't being renewed. It happened previously for a time with LEGO The Hobbit but then it was returned but wide speculation has been that it's just living on borrowed time. TheMonkofDestiny: People are assuming that they're going to be de-listed from official sale.
