Great resource. I have a fair number of them purchased. -- Back to the Future: The Game -- Blur -- Crysis -- Dark Souls -- Dirt 2 -- Dirt 3 -- Dirt Showdown -- F1 2010 - 2015 -- F1 Race Stars -- Grand Theft Auto 1, 2, 3, San Andreas, Vice City -- Grid (2019) -- Metro 2033 -- Prey (2006) -- Project CARS -- ToCA Race Driver 3 -- Transformers: War for Cybertron -- Transformers: Fall of Cybertron In most cases the games…

Same reason why Ace combat will never get a remake. If you use real brands in your videogame you as a developer need to know that it's on a death clock.

Or just sign a licensing deal that doesn’t expire?

It's funny that 3 different Space Hulk games are here. I actually thought Space Hulk (2013) was amazing but it's hard for a developer to keep up the yearly license payments on any Warhammer franchise. So it's not available for purchase anymore. It got ~75% on reviews on release but i like the board game and it was true to the board game so i personally loved it. Link on the steam store (the site should have these) ht…

I've had negative opinion on company behind Warhammer ever since Emperor TTS debacle everything I've heard since only confirms that that universe would be better dead and never be talked about

Henry Cavill would have words with you. There are some extremely die-hard fans in the U.K. just like there are die hard fans of Star Wars here in the US.

About one of my favorite racing games of all time: "The game could have been removed for a number of reasons, including the closure of developer Bizarre Creations in early 2011, but the most likely cause was expired licensing of the real-world cars featured in the game."[1] To me this is one of the most egregious examples of how licensing massively hurts consumers.

oh yeah, I'm a fan of this game too. To my surprise, even though it's delisted I can still install it. That's certainly better than the alternative.

I think you can install games that you bought (when they were available), even if they're delisted.

+1 for Blur, great game, it's like Super Mario Kart for grown-ups.

Too bad the only way to get it is by pirating it. But in these situations, doesn't piracy become morally acceptable?

At least the GTA games and metro 2033 are still available for purchase on steam, just the remastered versions. When they released those, the older versions were delisted

Prey (2006) https://delistedgames.com/prey/ Great game, with some innovative level design involving portals and gravity manipulation. Delisted back in 2009 and impossible to acquire legally to this day on PC.

I've got this game in my steam library, and I wondered why no one ever talks about it. I never realized it was delisted and made impossible to buy so long ago.

The original story was definitely unique and a fun play on 360.

Lots of people love the Warhammer universe. Far fewer people love Games Workshop as a company.

What was the debacle?

I doubt the 40K universe will die any time soon, it has many fans and they are hardcore about it. And it's becoming more and more mainstream (relatively).
