I sometimes see in my timeline a spike of people buying a certain game, to find they are getting removed, and i am a collector too in that aspect, so i thought why not create a special thread for it, so other people can know too?
This thread is only going to be about agames facing direct pending deletion on concrete information, not speculations on possible licensing stuff, there are other places for that. By all means if you find something with concrete info about a pending deletion, let me know so i can add it.

When i started this, for months 1-2 weeks could go by without even 1 removal, now it's daily. :p

I mean usually there have been many announcements of game removals from devs, almost to a point of every day.
And before the 4 days since your last post the post before that from you has been a while, so i was questioning perhaps if less devs were announcing they are removing their games. just out of curiosity.

for me, i didnt find any other game in between that getting a removal announcement, beside some F2P games. (and crazy collectors added every free package/game anyways, so i normal not posting these)

-or they got already removed before i had time to post here ( example: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2201590/Hot_Coffe_Shop/ )

Bewitching Sinners and Shadow Of The Devil are gone.

According to this post, Supermoves: World of Parkour will get a 80% discount next week for three days. At the moment, it's on sale at GreenManGaming, but only 60% off.

"The Texas Chain Saw Massacre will still be playable and is NOT being delisted from store fronts. Our community team will continue to interact with our players as we continue to celebrate The Texas Chain Saw Massacre with all of you who love this game just as much as we do." ?

just wait a little bit. its the same like i said with friday 13th and evil dead.
they had the same, and both got removed from steam around 1 year after such message

problem here the licenses are too expensive and they do not make the contract longer. so in the end, money.

€: with and Announcement that no more updates coming, on a game that live on updates (dead by daylight for example) no more people will buy it, and player will leave...

Supermoves: World of Parkour is on a (maybe) final sale now.

Is this a confirmed delisting or not? There is no official announcement on steam as far as I can see, other than "Situation is incredibly fluid - I still have no confirmation. All I can say is I'm negotiating and it's a process - there may be a chance we don't have to delist, but it's a slim one. I did put a -80% discount for next week for Nordic Game Conference (3 days). I'll put a steam post about that once it happens.", on may 13 and "We'll look into a final discount if we find that the game is leaving sale on Steam for any reason, as well as if we're looking at a removal of online features. Stay tuned." on apr 14.

The official announcement for winning the #2 spot of Finnish GOTY of 2024 says "Supermoves is unfortunately still at risk for being delisted from Steam. We're negotiating the best we can to make sure this wouldn't happen, but we're still in talks and as the situation is very fluid, we can't give any dates or guarantees at this time. I am, of course, interested in keeping Supermoves online and available for all players."

studio closing down.
so i would say it will be removed ?

developer posted:


As I'm still negotiating any potential deal for the IP to acquire from the company, this may take some time. Finnish bankruptcy proceedings, should they occur, would mean the Supermoves game IP would be in an auction or similar.

I'll try to acquire the rights, but if that's not possible, the game may be stuck in a legal IP limbo, which will make this process very difficult. In any case, I have the Steamworks access, so I can make sure there's a sizable discount, should the game be going offline or out of sale.

and

1) if we need to take the game's store page down on Steam (ie. make the game not available for purchase for new players), this will be combined with a heavy discount, but the game will still be available for current players, albeit probably only offline

and

I will make sure to have a final sale or discount if the game has to go under for any reason, I promise.


now there is this Sale.

If 2 parties end in good harmony one can try to get the rights back, is the chance high? Probably not.

We as customers shouldn't just let our decisions be based off on that too much anyway, if you want to have removed games, or just like the game you should get it anyway if you can afford it.

You're right. I've edited my post accordingly. But the risk is high and I think, it should be treated like a final sale, even if it isn't the case.

It's a bit strange that they've announced 80% off, and it's "only" 75% off.
