Hi-Fi Rush Physical Edition still happening, Final Patch Out Now "Thanks for all your support!"

I definitely feel a little weird about getting this now but I want to have a nice reminder of the good times.
It's still getting branch updates on Steam so you never know. If Sarah Bond wants to prove that she's all about preservation than these two games would be a great start.

Fingers crossed. It could also just be them updating the game to remove references to the cancelled DLC (if there were any-- not sure if there was an in-game DLC menu / DLC advertisement or something). But I hope you're right.I definitely feel a little weird about getting this now but I want to have a nice reminder of the good times.

I mean, Microsoft sucks in their part for managing Tango and dissolving such a talented bunch. But - Tango made a work of art here, that I want to play and own. If you all want to take Microsoft to task on this, there are other ways to hurt them worse: sell your Xbox, cancel your Live/GamePass sub, and don't buy anything from them in the future š¤·āāļø
They wouldn't have to patch out any music. There already exists a streamer mode without licensed music. All that would be required would be to make that the default and only mode. I can't imagine that would take much manpower or money to do
Although a lot of the original songs are designed to resemble the licensed music, generally speaking I find the majority of the streamer mode songs much more fitting for their placement and relevance to the game (the original song in Chapter 9 is a particular standout in how much more fitting it is than the licensed song).
There are a few exceptions to this, where the licensed songs significantly improve the moments where they're featured (Chapter 10, Chapter 11) but generally speaking, I find the Streamer Mode music better for the game.
That still requires a patch to disable that option which requires money and people available to do it. Again, you're right that it's a simple thing that wouldn't take much time but that's still a patch which presumably has to go through cert of some kind. Like you said, it's not much but it's still more than flip a switch and you're golden. For a game like Hi-Fi Rush, that could be enough of a roadblock for MS to not view as being worth it.
Keep in mind, I'm not saying the scenario I'm spelling out will 100% happen. I'm saying there's no reason to believe that it COULDN'T happen and you're better off assuming the worst here.
I always wanted it physical first and foremost because the game left a great impression on me. It's a shame it won't also have the added benefit of supporting the devs that created this wonderful game, but that just makes the game even more important to me. Now I'll just cherish it even more than I would've otherwise.
That said, I do vastly prefer physical over digital, but if that doesn't matter to you, then yea, certainly feel free to buy it at its cheapest

This will literally be a triple-dip for me. Doing my best to single-handedly support the team that made this!
Yes, it sucks to give MS more money after what they did, but it's a small price to pay to have long term access to this game. MS probably made more money in the time it took me to write this post than what this physical release will generate anyway.
I have digital on Series X so this'll be a good way to get it on PS5 as well.

It isn't unplayable but the Invaders Must Die part was so hype that I feel sorry for streamers though
Why? Their preorders are usually open for a certain period of time.
A bit too costly to import for my country and in the past I've had the sell out rather quickly, this could be different but I'm not holding my breath
This won't sell out. They take preorders and then make however many preorders they get. As long as you preoder before the deadline, you're fine.
I hope someone asks John Johanas about music licensing in an interview at some point. Curious if he'd be able to elaborate on whether it would be a major concern.
