Delisting
The Godfather and The Godfather II were both delisted on Steam on November 26th, 2014. The cause for the delisting appears to be related to licensing of the Godfather property from Paramount Pictures. While Electronic Arts did remove most of its titles from Steam in favor of their own Origin platform, these delistings largely happened in 2012, years prior to the Godfather delistings. Furthermore, neither of the Godfather titles were released for sale on Origin. However, as recently as March of 2021 CD keys included in retail copies of The Godfather II could be redeemed through the Origin platform to download a digital copy of the game. It does not appear that the same method works for CD keys included with The Godfather.
About the Game
The Godfather II takes all of the drama, action and family values from the classic Godfather films and brings them into an interactive experience. This means that players have to build and invest in their family, manage their rackets, takeover crime rings and even reach out to corrupt officials – all through the revolutionary Don’s View. The Don’s View is a 3D display of the player’s criminal empire and family tree, offering a birds-eye view of all three cities to better coordinate their take-down strategies, plan hits on rival made men, attack enemy compounds, and much more. As a Don in the Corleone family, The Godfather II puts the control in the players’ hands and allows them to live in the Godfather universe while creating their own story of deception, betrayal, and conquest in a 1960’s organized crime world.
