The first is the original PlanetSide which will be shutting down on Friday, July 1st at 4:00 PM PST. Daybreak has continued to support the original game for fans who couldn’t

Hey, hopefully you never see this.
A Few Interruptions This Week
Just a quick post to say no, I haven’t abandoned the site already. I’ve put things on hold this week to try and keep up with E3 and because my day job has blossomed into a bountiful bouquet of madness. If you’re interested in what I thought of E3 you can check out my reactions to the major
Four EA Titles Delisted in the wake of Big Fish Deal
Last month’s scare over an expired deal between Electronic Arts and the online games portal Big Fish Games seems to have left little in the way of casualties. While many of the listed games have been removed from Big Fish’s site very few of their PC and console counterparts have been touched one week later.
Welcome to Delisted Games
It’s June 1st, the site has over 100 delisted titles and our hosting migration looks to have been a success. So it’s time to officially launch this thing! You can read more about our history here but for this sticky post I wanted to point out some features of the site to help you get
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. While interested players were caught off guard and can no longer access Project Spark, those who still have it installed
EA’s IP Losses may be the cause of 56 Delistings in June
I’m still feeling my way through the crazy world of copyright law and Intellectual Property rights that are a major cause of delistings. So I’m not entirely sure how to interpret this vague news from EA but seeing a $122 million loss demonstrates how much is at stake when licensing is involved. “During the first
Hot New Placeholder Pages are a Go
Up to now I’ve been fully researching and building out game pages on the site before posting them. Initially this was to make sure there was a bunch of quality content before I launched the site but the process can take quite a bit of time. While I’d like to present fully fleshed out pages it
VVVVVV Delisted on 3DS in Exploit Implication
Terry Cavanagh’s challenging 2D platformer, VVVVVV, just got a lot harder to play on the Nintendo 3DS. Merely one day after a new exploit was released that used the game to run homebrew code Nintendo pulled it from the 3DS eShop. Cavanagh himself was surprised at the news stating on twitter, “that’s unexpected!”. While the
The Beatles: Rock Band loses 32 DLC Songs May 5th
There is nothing more tenuous when it comes to delistings than licensed music. It’s something Harmonix is graciously on top of in their community forum, keeping everyone up to date on the songs that are leaving the Rock Band Music Store accessible across the various titles. I don’t think I’m going to relay every single

Yesterday the Square Enix community manager for Nosgoth announced that the game will be shutting down on May 31st, 2016. Nosgoth has been in Early Access release on Steam since January and is free-to-play for anyone interested in taking a look before it’s gone for good. You can read more about the game and it’s
Guitar Hero Live’s GHTV Mode at Risk
I’ve been playing Guitar Hero Live with a bit of urgency ever since I heard about its poor sales performance in February. One half of the game will always be available to play on the disc. The other half, the portion of the game that I was most drawn to, is Guitar Hero TV. GHTV
