DuckTales: Remastered to be delisted August 8th
Thanks to everyone on Twitter and Reset Era that pointed this one out earlier today, this was super short notice! Capcom Unity’s Kellen has the full details below on this unfortunate delisting that was just announced today: Heads up, everyone; DuckTales: Remastered is leaving digital storefronts in a duck-blur, and will no longer be available
Driveclub franchise on sale ahead of Delisting deadlines
Just a quick FYI that Sony has put much of the Driveclub franchise on sale ahead of its removal from the PlayStation Store on August 31st. All three main entries in the series — Driveclub, Driveclub VR, and Driveclub Bikes — are on sale at up to 50% off in North America and there’s a
Windows XP, ME, and Win7 lose online-enabled games starting July 31st
We’ve got sad news for office workers as well as gamers holding out with older Windows machines today. Microsoft announced on July 2nd that several internet-enabled games for Windows XP, Millennium, and even Windows 7 will be switched off and (apparently) rendered unplayable starting at the end of July. The news broke on the Microsoft
Star Control rights amicably settled; Original Trilogy returns to sale
Last week was pretty hectic around the site and I missed being a little more timely on this news. It was January when we last heard about the legal feud between Stardock and the Star Control creators, Fred Ford and Paul Reiche. At the time, Star Control: Origins had just returned from extinction after Ford
Neverwinter and Operation7 shutting down in Asian regions
Thanks again to friend of the site, FallenRyan, for the tip on a pair of Asia-specific server closures happening soon! Most immediate is Neverwinter, the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC MMO whose Hong Kong servers will be shutting down in 10 days on June 27th. The game’s PlayStation Store page offers only the simplest
Minecraft: Story Mode reappears on Xbox 360 at $100 per episode
The Telltale Games saga just continues to get stranger. As of May 31st all digital versions of the Minecraft: Story Mode series were confirmed delisted worldwide with the ability to re-download previous purchases being removed on June 25th. That’s a respectable window to allow owners a chance to download all their purchased content but an
Ninja Turtle arcade titles return from Arcade1Up
I sure wasn’t expecting any delisted news to come out of E3, especially not the return of one of our most often-lamented losses: the 1989 arcade brawler Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Of course, it isn’t coming back in the most affordable package ever but later this year you will technically and legally be able to
Naughty Dog’s PlayStation 3 Multiplayer modes ending September 3rd
Online multiplayer in Uncharted 2 has been such a long-supported feature that I — even being the one running this very site — honestly forgot that it would ever have to end! But as with all things digital, time won’t last forever and the day has come for Naughty Dog to announce the end of
Japanese Indie title Croixleur Sigma leaves Steam on June 1st
Nyu Media, purveyors of Japanese indie PC titles, announced a sad but fond farewell to one of their releases today. The “high speed hack-and-slash action game” Croixleur Sigma will be removed from Steam (as well as sites like Humble Bundle, Gamersgate, and Rice Digital) on June 1st. Why? Nyu’s license to the game has ended
All Telltale Games titles leaving GOG.com on May 27th
UPDATE [05/23/19]: Telltale’s Bone titles and Tales from the Borderlands have already been removed from Steam today. GOG.com Team member Chandra broke the bad news in a forum post this morning that all remaining Telltale Games titles will be removed from the DRM-free service next Monday, May 27th. The below titles will be joining other
Razer shuting down Ouya, Forge TV, MOJO services on June 25th
In a rather unceremonious fashion Razer, who acquired Ouya’s staff and library of titles in 2015, has confirmed that online services and storefronts for the Ouya, as well as the Android-based Forge TV and the MadCatz MOJO will be shut down on June 25th, 2019. The Razer support page is appreciably flush with answers but
