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

It's not really being deleted tho, they're just moving it into a new bundle.

Yup. They just double nested the game inside bundles to make sure that it doesn't cannibalize sales of the new remaster, but it's still purchaseable, at least for now. I wish they had done the same for Sonic 1, 2, 3, & CD back when Origins released instead of delisting them, although I wouldn't be surprised if all the complaints from that dick-move were what motivated Sega to not do the same this time.

WTF was this meant to save people in relationships? It says something about getting the new version for free if you had the de-listed (soon) which looks like about 4 people

Only 2 days, most probably no final sale. Currently still 50+% off at GamersGate and Fanatical and around 75% off at keysellers.

Thanks, but on Gamersgate, it is the Mac version of the DLC - at least in germany.

Comment has been collapsed.

That doesn't actually mean anything. It's just because the Mac version is officially developed and published by Aspyr and the Windows version by Frontier themselves. Resellers sometimes treat them as different entities, because the two publishers might decide to have sales at different times and with different discounts. The keys are the same though, you always get the full game or DLC on Steam.

There is no package on Steam that only has Mac files. In fact in this case there is only one sub you can and will get with a key bought from Germany, and that is the store sub.

Same goes for example for Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Civilization V & VI, Mafia 3, Borderlands 2 and others, where development and publishing is split between Aspyr and 2k, or Aspyr and Gearbox for Homeworld Remastered Collection, or Aspyr and EA for SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition:

and for some Linux versions as well:

Thank you. But that doesn't make sense - from their point of view, because they decrease the potential customer base because of that.

But it's good to know, also for the future.

And I don't want to buy from a keyseller.

I know, but it's what they do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I had actually asked GamersGate support a couple of years ago about a similar case. I think it was in relation to a Civilization game or DLC.

Seems like buying a subscription pass for £3.99/$4.99/€4.99 before September 6 also gets you this DLC.

"For those that have the Planet Coaster Subscription, many of you would have used this content to create some truly incredible parks, so we will be unlocking the Planet Coaster: Ghostbusters pack on your accounts for free, so you will be able to continue to use this content in your parks. If you cancel your subscription after September the 6th, your entitlement to the Planet Coaster: Ghostbusters pack will remain!

Subscriptions to Planet Coaster after the 6th of September will NOT include the Planet Coaster: Ghostbusters pack"

EDIT: Please also see below comments before you consider buying the subscription pass.

I find the term "entitlement" ambiguous. Let's say you own the base game and now buy the subscription for one month and then cancel it again. Does it mean you can play the DLC with your own base game forever or only whenever you subscribe again, so only during the subscription?

I wouldn't try it. It says, you keep the entitlement to play the DLC, but not that you still can play it without thesubscription.
And, you have to subscribe to play the other DLC as well, so why should this DLC be excluded?

Yeah, that's how I interpret it as well. I thought about mentioning the subscription as an option in my initial post but decided against it because of that ambiguity.

Suspend Sales for the Upcoming Remake

Crimson Souls
https://store.steampowered.com/app/930470/Crimson_Souls/

Customers who have already purchased the game will be provided with the remake for free.
https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/930470/view/7147864422074855034

Honestly, I find it terrible that a game in early access (without an update for 32 months) releases this announcement, especially since I have bought several games like this and I don't remember the new version coming out.

It's not worth it because it's not on sale.

Unfortunately this is becoming very common, I'm sure I've bought several games with the same news that ends in nothing.

Right now I remember Grey Skies: A War of the Worlds Story, the game was on sale because it was going to be no longer available (July 2023) and as of today there is no news of the remaster and the game is still available.

Honestly, even with the final offer, it seems very expensive to me. That 30% seems more like an intention to scratch the pockets of collectors.

Especially considering that they will withdraw the game because the 2024 edition is already available (free2play)

True, and they withdrew their prevous versions of the game, too, when a new version was released.

Yes, more for collectors to have the one that gets removed.

You can get the new one for free if you get an achievement on the old one, contact the dev, but that achievement currently isn't working for people.
