DC Universe Online coming to Switch, delisting dread averted!
I couldn’t help but wonder how much longer Daybreak Game Company might last after the past few years of delistings and server shutdowns. We lost PlanetSide and Legends of Norrath in 2016, Landmark in 2017, and Just Survive last October. Knowing nothing else about the company’s financials or player base, it looked like things might

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.

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

A good read on mobile games, delistings, and Rolando
Polygon has a great post up about the unstoppable black hole that pulverizes mobile games out of existence (aka iTunes) that’s told from the unexpectedly hopeful perspective of developer HandCircus. Rolando was one of the earliest iPhone games I can remember but with Apple’s mandate to update older titles to 64-bit architecture, the entirety of
Inaugural PSVR shooter, StarBlood Arena, shutting down July 25th
Although it was just officially confirmed by Sony Europe, the writing has been on the wall since the end of January for the PlayStation VR shooter from 2017, StarBlood Arena.
