Keep looking for it it's an incredible game, the crown jewel in the series. If you listen to the informal leaders of opinion in this thread you'll be dissuaded from buying the game, but don't be fooled. The game offers ample challenge for anyone who chooses to seek it. The graphic and audio presentations are fabulous. Player ani swings are spot on. H2H play is simple but very effective. The main downfall in the game is that it is missing some bells and whistles that simple diminish what it could have been or could be. While the belief perpetrated here is that EA is [forever] done with it, I don't believe that will remain the case. RM sold more copies than its immediate predecessor, the massive work it took to port it to the incredible Frostbite graphics engine is already done. EA can park it for a year or two, and because the core work is already done and proven it would be a case of adding a few more courses and players, tweak a few minor features, and re-release it in 2019 or 2020, perhaps disconnected from the Rory trademark. If they had to start from scratch this might not happen but as I say the massive port over to the Frostbite engine, and massive amounts of components already built, I think it could still happen and w/ minimal overhead compared to what it took to built Rory.

If it is a digital download from Gamestop, you should have no worries about the game and being able to play it.

Not sure how much you ever played of the Tiger Woods series, but the only thing that Rory has over the Tiger series is that it look better on the Frostbite engine. Everything else about Rory is lacking compared to Tiger, especially Tiger '14 in every respect, especially courses, PGA TOUR Golfers, licensed content, etc.

IMO, gameplay in Rory on the hardest level is nowhere near as challenging as TW14 was in Simulation Mode with the diagonal swing. It is one person's opinion who played more than 1000 rounds in both games.

If you are looking for some inexpensive PGA TOUR Golf fun that looks pretty on the PS4, you can't go wrong. It is a shallow game, but pretty to look at.

When does EA's PGA Tour license expire? Would the game be pulled then?

No idea. They have had an exclusive license with the PGA Tour since the early 1990's.

If EA did not keep the license, it should have no impact on the availability of the game.

Rory leaving the vault. It's over

Just a matter of time for the online play shutdown.
Hard to know when on that though it would seem.

Further evidence EA is not coming back to console PGA TOUR Golf anytime soon.....
