    I feel like asking for people understanding should be accompanied with an explanation because I have no Idea reading this of the why they would discontinue it.

      My best guess is that the music sold in the game is licensed, and that agreement is ending. Some license holders just aren’t very agreeable to extended sale.

        That would make sense and if it was part of the communication I would understand. Sadly it’s really up to our guess

        My guess is that they are held hostage by a group of evil badgers who want to turn a profit by reselling the base game

          When a license agreement like this ends, I think there’s a lot of issues with putting out a statement that throws anyone in particular under the bus. Could negate the chance of a future renegotiation.

        As I have played the base version on multiple platforms, I can definitely confirm that there is licenced music in the game. Or at least music that I strongly believe is licensed.

      Funny thing is they aren’t stopping the sale of DLC, so not sure what the base game has that DLC doesn’t, which is making them stop selling it.

      Could it be some kind of licensing issue?
