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.

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
Minecraft: Story Mode delisted on Steam, leaving GOG.com on May 3rd
Another Telltale Games title joins the site this week in the aftermath of the company’s 2018 closure. Minecraft: Story Mode was delisted from Steam on April 29th and according to a GOG.com forum post, it’ll be removed from the good ol’ service on May 3rd at 10am UTC. The post cites expired licensing from Minecraft
DSiWare on 3DS primed for 450+ Delistings?
Something wicked this way comes. Or so it seems as Nintendo has been removing hundreds of store pages from nintendo.com for DSiWare games, including their older news posts about them. Based on my own research and a submission from site reader Alex, the pages started disappearing in late March. It’s a real shame as these
Original Burnout Paradise multiplayer ends on August 1st
Criterion Games took to Twitter on April 17th to announce that multiplayer servers for the original 2008 versions of Burnout Paradise would be shut down on August 1st, 2019. The tweet pretty much says it all: Burnout Paradise fans, after over 11.5 years of service, the servers for the original 2008 game will be closing
Breach shutting down only three months after release
The 4-vs-1 multiplayer action/RPG, Breach, initially seemed like an up-and-coming contender when it debuted on Steam Early Access back in January. But just over two months later, QC Games has announced plans to shut down the servers at the end of April. Popularity and profits are to blame according to QC Games CEO, Dallas Dickinson,
