Ouch! Hope Gog brings us one last chance to grab them on sale.

Makes 2 of us here.

I already have Ties from GOG. Wouldn't mind adding OG The Suffering too.

I do have both from retail on disc though.

Mars Horizon (https://www.gog.com/game/mars_horizon) will be removed from the store today, August 27th, at 1 PM UTC. The source i s here

Now, they are both discounted :-)

Hey, thanks for the reminder! Regards!

Oxenfree is leaving Itch by October 1, and is even bring removed from people's Itch libraries even if purchased. I don't know if they will remove it from GOG and GOG owned libraries in the same manner, but you may want to download it while you can.

Is it possible that Itch has a policy that enables devs/publishers to remove a game not only from sale but also from people's library? If that's the case, that's pretty scummy.

On GOG and Steam, whenever a game's delisted, it stays on your library if you have purchased it previously. I don't know of a case where it was also removed from the library if not by mistake.

Yeah it's happened before. There are even instances where it stays on your Itch library, but there are no files for download anymore.

Itch doesn't really have policies because it's not a regular store. It's a marketplace for devs, and they're allowed to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't break the law.

Considering GOG's track record, removing stuff from people's libraries isn't too far fetched.

Thanks for letting us know! ;)

But yet, both GOG and Steam have no problem with removing and/or altering content from games that are already in the customers' libraries on their platforms (as they are about to do with Alan Wake, and as they have also done with many other games before that), and no longer providing any access to the unbutchered/unaltered version.

One could reasonably argue that by removing and/or altering a game's content, those stores are actually removing the game, and then replacing it with a different game.

Removing the game itself isn't much of a further leap from that; it's very close to what they have already done and continue to do on a regular basis.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Steam and/or GOG start removing games themselves from customers' libraries.

The only thing I can think of that might possibly stop them from doing that would be worries over lawsuits. But they had no reason to worry about lawsuits regarding butchering and/or altering content, so probably IMO they might feel that they have no reason to worry about removing games themselves either.

I guess in that case you're absolutely for games not getting any patches and updates? Because every patch and update removes the game you originally bought and replaces it with a different game.

"No Patrick. Updating a game is not the same as removing it."
