PlayStation Home added to the site
Thanks to Jonathan for reminding me I didn’t even have a placeholder on the site for PlayStation Home! I always loved the idea of Home but I never managed to keep up with it as it evolved. As such, it took some time to dig up the details around its long and meandering lifespan but
Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 available again, not Relisted
Don’t call it a relisting. Even though Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is once again on sale it hasn’t returned to PlayStation 3, Vita or Xbox 360 where it was delisted in December 2014.

Disney Infinity Removed from Steam, coming back later in 2016
Doubtful as I was, Disney has stuck to their promise to keep the community updated as Disney Infinity nears its inevitable online shutdown in March of 2017.
