Since then, . Second-hand physical DVDs still work (if you have a disc drive), but they cost $50–$150 on eBay.

For players with slow internet or limited hard drive space, that sounds like a miracle. But there is a reason this game vanished. In 2016, Ubisoft delisted Driver: San Francisco from Steam, Uplay, and all digital stores. Why? The game featured over 80 licensed cars (Dodge, Ford, Nissan) and a soundtrack full of 70s rock. Those licenses expired.

Driver: San Francisco deserves to be remembered for its brilliant "Shift" mechanic, not for the ransomware hiding in a fake installer. Drive safely out there.
