Age of Empires: Castle Siege shutting down May 2019
Sadly, it’s time to bid farewell to another online-only iteration of the Age of Empires franchise. After retiring the multiplayer RTS, Age of Empires Online, Microsoft announced on November 13th that Age of Empires: Castle Siege would be the next title to be shut down. The game’s homepage now displays only the following announcement: “We
PlayStation MOBA, Invokers Tournament, shutting down May 2019
Invokers Tournament was another attempt to capitalize on the MOBA craze when DOTA 2 was blowing up the scene in 2013. Unfortunately, like many other MOBA-likes, Invokers wasn’t able to catch a large enough audience and on November 15th the team at StormBASIC announced it would finally be drawing the game (and their studio) to
Beginning of the End: More Telltale Games titles delisted
Word broke on the afternoon of November 14th that Telltale Games had entered an Assignment of Contract with the business consulting firm Sherwood Partners. GameDaily has an extensive recount of the publicly available details, including their conversation with Sherwood’s co-founder Martin Pitchinson, but for our purposes I think this snippet sums it up: “Telltale Games
Email from Sony America confirms January 31st server shutdowns
In an uncharacteristically outgoing move, Sony America has begun sending out emails regarding the end of online services for Warhawk, Twisted Metal, PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale, and Sound Shapes.

There’s been a short reprieve on the deadline dates for some older PlayStation titles although it’s hard to pin down in exactly which regions. Right now we know for sure that online features for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale and Twisted Metal (2012) have been extended to January 31st, 2019 across Europe. In North America, the
DMCA revisions open up DRM cracking on defunct games
Polygon has a new post up covering revisions that have recently been made to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by the Library of Congress and the U.S. Copyright Office that might help us get some of our delisted games back. It’s a dense 85-page read so I’m going to paraphrase a bit from Polygon.
Alan Wake returns to Steam & GOG, back on Xbox “very soon”
Previously, on Alan Wake… In May of 2017 Remedy’s community staff gave a brief heads-up that the game was going to be delisted from all digital platforms due to expired music licensing, plunging Alan into the suffocating darkness of digital unavailability. Suddenly, on October 25th Remedy announced via Twitter that the game had returned to
