News on upcoming delistings, server shutdowns, and studio closures. Anything that might signify an upcoming delisting will be posted here and may serve as a tentative page for a game until it is officially taken offline. Also accounts for any site news or happenings within the Delisted community.
Our Hosting is Doing some Upgrades
Our web hosting provider is bringing the server that Delisted and GameLuv live on up to modern standards on the 28th. In anticipation I may not be posting a whole lot in case they have to fall back on a slightly older backup of the site. After that I’m planning on finally launching this thing
DIY Title Project Spark Shutting Down August 12, 2016
Confirming my suspicions after months of near total silence, Team Dakota confirmed on Friday, May 13th that the DIY game, Project Spark, would no longer be available to download on Windows or Xbox One platforms.

I’m still feeling my way through the crazy world of copyright law and Intellectual Property rights that are a major cause of delistings.

I don’t think I’m going to relay every single
