A thread about delisted games and games at risk of getting delisted

[Mist Ephemeral]

Creating this topic because of how little people talk about it, despite happening so often, and people could miss warnings in other sites, forums and groups because of that.

Hope it can be of any help!

To start off, all games on Jast USA's site released until the decade of the 2000's are at risk of getting delisted. Or rather, from what a staff member commented in the store's official group, the delisting of each of those titles is already programmed, and the delisting for each game should happen once they get remastered versions.

The latest game to suffer from that is Heart de Roommate, whose remaster released on September 30, a few days ago.

===================================================

Also, the free "SKALD: Against the Black Priory - The Prologue" will be delisted from Steam next week since a more up to date demo will be released, and GOG probably will be affected too, since the soon-to-be-rendered-outdated prologue is there as well.

I get the info from multiple sources, actually.

For Jast, it was through their official Discord group. For Zoom Platform, they usually warn about any delistings in their official Discord group. For GOG, delistings are usually warned in their official forum, and there's a thread there for games at risk too (link). There are also two threads on Steam I follow for that (#1 and #2), as well as a Steam curator (link). There's also a site that tracks delisted games too, called "Delisted Games" (link). Some times things can pop up in r/delistedgames and r/GameDealsMeta over on Reddit too, but the former is still pretty small and the latter only sporadically has info on game removals. Mainly, those are the ones I get the info from.

SakuraGame seems to make only temporary publishing contracts, and they announce delistings only a few hours before the delistings. Thus the risk.
