Namco is the worst offender when it comes to game preservation. They did this with Digimon Cyber Sleuth (PS4+Vita) as well and have already done it to the Hackers Memory Vita sku. I imagine the PS4 version of Hackers Memory is next after they pull Jump Force. That's why I purchase physical when it comes to Bandai Namco.
Never heard anything good about this game. Not a big loss.
