Purveyor of all issues outdated and delightful, GOG dot com, has introduced that 29 video games will depart its retailer over the course of September (by way of GamingOnLinux). 4 video games from Grownup Swim will go away on September 30, and 25 from writer Meridian4 will wink out of existence on the storefront in two days: On September 20 at 6 am PDT / 9 am EDT / 1 pm UTC / 2 pm BST.
The excellent news is—no intentional disrespect to the devs right here—you most likely aren’t too fazed concerning the Meridian4 video games. The 25 titles from the writer which are leaving GOG are all unknown to me. Many do not have sufficient evaluations to earn rankings in GOG’s user-review system, and those that do have sufficient are usually not well-regarded. You will discover a full checklist of delistees beneath, however we’re speaking video games like Creepy Story 3 and Viruz. I am unhappy to see them go, however extra out of preservationist precept than the rest.
The Grownup Swim video games are extra recognizable. Westerado: Double Barrelled, Kingsway, Headlander, and Fist Puncher are all bidding farewell to GOG—at the least for now—in 12 days. We quite like at the least a few of these, and it is each unhappy and mystifying to see them vanish from a well-liked storefront.
I’ve contacted GOG to ask for extra details about why the video games are being delisted (it is possible one thing to do with the current tumult around Adult Swim for these video games) and the probability of them coming again, and I am going to replace this piece if I hear extra.
For its half, GOG’s personal announcement of the delistings sounds fairly bummed out about the entire thing. “Sorry to be the bearer of dangerous information,” says a GOG spokesperson concerning the Grownup Swim delistings. “We’ll do our greatest to attempt to convey them again.”
The Meridian4 delistings aren’t even that hopeful. “As a lot because it pains me to say it, I’ve some saddening information to share,” says the identical GOG spokesperson earlier than itemizing each sport saying goodbye. “I do know you hate to listen to that. The identical goes for us.”
So when you’ve been hankering to seize any of these video games on GOG or—like me—you simply have a compulsion about gathering this stuff, you’ve got acquired two days to seize something on the Meridian4 checklist and about 12 to seize the Grownup Swim stuff. Here is a full checklist of the whole lot being delisted:
