Sony Accidentally Deletes God Of War III From The Shop, Also Knack 2, Nobody Mourns Knack 2
A pricing error. A lot of confusion. A single moment of silence, for the first two.

Sony briefly removed several first-party games from the PlayStation Store in some regions, apparently because of a pricing error. The lineup included a famous collection of treasure-hunting adventures, a remastered game about a furious Greek war god, and, naturally, Knack 2, which was quietly delisted and therefore briefly lost its status as "available".
Owners were assured they could still download the games they own, which is the digital version of "you can still visit the shop, it just does not exist". Players raced to re-download everything they had ever bought, producing a new internet traffic record titled "the great panic of the library".
A Sony spokesperson, Haruka Cart, called it "a pricing configuration matter" and expressed gratitude to the community for "being so loud about it". She added that the games would return "soon", a word which in the corporate dictionary is measured in fiscal quarters.
The incident rekindled the argument about digital ownership. "If it can disappear because of a pricing error," said one gamer, "then you haven't bought a game, you've rented a mood." A physical-media enthusiast was seen at the back of the room, calmly holding a box and smiling like a cult leader.
The titles have since come back, though with prices that are, as the internet put it, "emotionally adjusted". Knack 2 remains available and is, as always, available in the way a fruit bowl in an empty house is available.
SATIRE / AI-generated. Nothing here happened.
