Activision shutting down Guitar Hero Live’s ‘GHTV’ mode December 1st
It was one of the first Watch List posts I ever made on Delisted Games and sadly, it has finally come to pass.

I’ve been expecting this news for years after Activision disbanded the developer, FreeStyle Games,
SITE NEWS: Delisted Games Community forums are live, plus more!
I think I technically missed the window to call it “Spring cleaning” but over the last several week’s I’ve been working on some subtle (and not so subtle) changes to the site. GDPR, Privacy Policy, and SSL Security One that I think every visitor has run into is our new privacy pop-up message; yes, we

Cliff Bleszinski announces Boss Key studio is no more; Lawbreakers & Radical Heights on the Watch List
Both of Boss Key Productions’ beleaguered titles have officially joined the Watch List today after founder Cliff Bleszinski, confirmed that the studio is “effectively no more” on Twitter.

Mafia debuted on GOG.com and returned to Steam in 2017
For such an often lamented delisting you’d think I would’ve caught word that Mafia returned to Steam (and finally debuted on GOG) late in 2017. Making its first appearance in the early 2000’s, it was a miracle that the game ever made it to Steam in the first place. Sadly, it was delisted just two
Deformers removed from sale, online servers shutting down August 9th
Ready At Dawn, probably best known for the PlayStation 4 shooter The Order: 1886, have announced the end of sale and support for another of their original titles, Deformers.

Thanks to an anonymous submission this morning, we have the sad news that FarSight Studios will be removing all Williams and Bally pinball tables from their digital pinball platform, The Pinball Arcade. The full announcement follows but basically: grab these tables before June 30th before they’re pulled out of every version of the game. Our
Wii U downloads of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze put on ice?
Leading up to the May 4th release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on the Switch, one redditor decided to revisit the original title on Wii U this week and found it was missing from the eShop. I did a quick check and, sure enough, the “Buy Digital” link has been removed… but only in
Super Monday Night Combat shutting down in advance of GDPR
As if licensing deals, trademarks, and bankruptcies weren’t enough to threaten a game’s existence, we now have the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR) that could impact any online-enabled game. The first casualty is Uber Entertainment’s Super Monday Night Combat which the studio had managed to keep running since 2012 despite having under

The game returned no later than April 10th and has returned in all territories (AU, EU, JP, US). The
