Yep I agree. Even though it's apparently shelved you can't be sure they won't pick it back up again even if it's 4y from now as computing power and coding continue in some fashion to improve in lock step w/ Moore's law (as long as you consider both hardware and software we're still on queue IMO). For now, we should be massively grateful these folks have provided this amazing work for literally a few dollars a pop. Hours and hours of entertainment--I really love it!

Interesting - It does appear to have been pulled!

The "buy download" button takes you to an "Unable to find this page" landing spot.

Maybe a server issue too though..


Anyone else get a page to load after clicking on Buy Download here?:

I give, why on earth would anyone pull anything that might still sell?

Nope, I get the same error:

"Unable to Find This Page

I fired up RMPGAT last weekend, what with the Masters going on and all. Made me really wish a new PGA Tour game was coming down the pipeline.

Lots of unrealized potential with RMPGAT...too bad.

Probably just to accelerate the process of getting to the "turn off the servers" stage.

If Divot's on point, which I'm positive he is, they have completely pulled out of anything golf related, present or future and they just want to get to the finish line of turning off any money outlay to support a dead past (the servers).

It looks like you can still buy it for Xbox though..
Maybe just a Sony issue?
Or maybe the change hasn't propagated to MS side yet..

Sounds insane to me, for the bad PR value alone. To have servers running that have already been developed can't cost all that much to this huge of an entity. I could see it if they produced another sequel, but for example if they shut down online H2H in Rory any time in the next several years that will be it for me and EA anything.

I'm honestly not sure the PR out there about the Rory game could get any worse than it already is..
