Hasbro's reason for not re-releasing the War for Cybertron games

Here's the article:

Pretty weird situation if you ask me. I really hope Activision can find those Hard Drives.

There's a follow-up article that states it's not lost. Backed by Hasbro as well, but at this point, who knows who's telling the truth.

Damn, that's quite the situation. I really hope they've found them. I really want to replay both games...

Activision isn't going to release anything unless they can sell 100 million copies or micro transaction the shit out of it. Microsoft might push a release to put it on Gamepass. Emulation is still going to be the easiest way to play these (plus Bobby Kotick doesn't get any money so that's a bonus.)

Why emulate when you can just play the PC ports? I know that you'd have to use some, err, unconventional means to get the PC ports, but they'd probably work better than PS3 or Xbox360 emulation.

Not sure how well the PC version runs on modern operating systems (and if there are patches for it.)

Yeah, I have my og PS3 copies as well. I just want to play them with a higher frame rate. Both the PS3 and 360 versions have lag.

Hasbro will probably pay them to do it. Plus it helps them to advertise their upcoming WFC figures.
