Guess I'm never gonna play Samurai Jack now....

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Looks like they're not done yet.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Might be temporary.

 

[Puscifer]

Samurai Jack is actually disappointing but everything I see a about Steven Universe tends to look like the most globalhomo incarnate thing I've ever seen

Why do companies delist games that they own the IP of?

Externally licensed components, maybe.

 

[Soodanim]

Why do companies delist games that they own the IP of?

1. They no longer legally can
2. They want to sell a replacement

 

[Deft Beck]

WB spends more time delisting things and removing things from sale/streaming than they do making anything new.

 

[nial]

1. They no longer legally can

I wonder how that works? Is it that these IPs are owned by say, top WB, and this CN Games publisher could only hold such licenses for a particular amount of time, and they were now told that they couldn't sell these games anymore?
Please tell me if I'm missing anything here.

[Magic Carpet]

None of these are available on Netflix games either.

Our digital distribution new world, ladies and gentleman!

I am good with instant-gaming and eneba.

G2A i avoid as much as possible, kinguin I only buy when the alternative is very expensive. I believe Kinguin and G2A are same company maybe ? because usually they have the same sale.

Kinguin does have multiple store fronts with the same backend. I had to file a Paypal dispute after getting the runaround from their support so they are a no-go for me any longer.

Fuck them for not posting a proper delisting announcement. Bunch of retarded execs with no respect to gamers...

Edit: last time I was this angry when they delisted Powerpuff Girls game without any notice either...

 

[adamsapple]

Fuck them for not posting a proper delsiting announcement. Bunch of retarded execs with no respect to gamers...

Yeah, it always sucks when games are delisted without any prior notice.

This is what irks me. They literally piss on us as consumers. It would've taken nothing for tjem to announce it a month or so ahead of time at least but no...and then they wonder why gamers don't respect publishers or devs. You reap what you sew!

 

[Holammer]

Delisted them without a discount during the winter sale. Total wankage.
Never sold them via third party sites either.

Worst delisting was probably Powerpuff girls, they delisted it a year after launch because they wanted to reboot the show and did not want any brand confusion.

 

[El Muerto]

They may be relisted at some point. Pool Panic and Duck Game were delisted but came back later under a different publisher. Ownership was given back to the devs. But some devs reached out and never got word back from Adult Swim games so who knows.
