The version on steam is Sons of Liberty, not Substance. Also the game has not been put back up on GOG. This game should be put back up here.

It is official. This game will be back on Steam in October. Get it now while you still can!

I heard this game might be relisted soon on GOG because some of the licensing issues have been resolved. So get this game while you still can!

How do I download the game? The setup file keeps crashing, I closed everything, I emptied my temp folder, and my internet's fine. Someone help me, I don't want to emulate this game since the performance is gonna get worse and I don't have a good pc.

We have some Konami intruders folks. They don't want you to play MGS2. They don't want you to know that Hideo already denounced Konami gulags in that game. They are also blocking the upload of the PC version of MGS3 because there are proof of their malpractices in the code of that game.
You don't belive me? Look at the comment below me. We have already 2 infiltrators. Download the game and play it. QUICK! You must witness the beauty of PS2 graphics Quinton Flynn naked ninja kicking Genoma Soldiers! Is the only way to understand the T R U T H.
And no. I am neither SOME MANDALORE GAMING SIMP nor OK MILLENIAL.
I AM BOTH
I AM A GAMER
I HAVE BEEN ALBERICH, LOGE, SIEGMUND, BRÜNHILDE, SIEGFRIED... and ISH, I guess. Don't know. Ring is confusing.

Can you make the game available here please? I would kindly buy it on GOG, but the game was took down by Konami.

So this game was removed by konami from GOG and all digital stores "temporarily" due to Licensing issue. This was in November. Its now June, its been like 7 months now. I think this game should be reuploaded onto myabandonware. Jesus thanks Konami it got uploaded to GOG for like 1 year before being taken down again. Nice work Konami realll nice.

Hey, since this game isn't listed on GoG anymore, can it be put back on here?

GOG pulled this one. Should be reuploaded here, as it has been some years now.

As of today, every version of Metal Gear Solid 2 (and 3) got pulled from all digital stores due to copyright issues. I don't know if it counts as abandonware now.

Bro what kind of logic is this? why are you telling me that i should buy the game on Ps3 (a console released 14 years ago) that i don't have when i'm looking for the PC version that's an actual abandonware???

It is available on the PS Store, but it's for the PSVita and PS3, both of which sony, from what I understand, no longer officially supports. But this is abandonware on PC, as you cannot buy this on PC. -- you also cannot buy this on PS4/Xbox etc etc.

This is abandonware again.

What kind of an idea was to remove the file from a PC game so people buy the PS3 version?!

The game is not available on GoG.com. Not sure where you got that information from. In the US here and I cannot find it on GoG. Search produces no results.
