Certain games being delisted for the sake of next-gen nonsense am I losing my mind is it true?

[Shadowfox394]

Idk if the rumors is true but I noticed some games being delisted mainly retro gaming on Steam and wonder if anyone knows if it's about this next-gen garbage? Who ever owns Valve needs to know this is not okay. If you guys think you have the power that we don't own you technically we do own you because we give you our paychecks. Why are we still buying Steam games with all this delisting going on right now all because they want this next-gen garbage?

Why do we continue to buy things from Valve if they CLAIM we don't own it shouldn't we take our paychecks else where? I've been a big Steam fanatic since Windows 7 was a thing and I do NOT approve delisting retro gaming all for the sake this modern garbage is what one rumor points out to online. Please tell me this isn't true retro games are disappearing because of this whole next-gen nonsense come on guys if this is true then shame on you and we should be filing a complaint against you to the FTC and Better Business Bureau this is ridiculous if this rumor is real I know you guys have a POLICY that you clicked I AGREE that you think you own all of us but if that's the case idk if I should even trust Steam at this point please tell me these are all just rumors idk why I still buy games from you guys claiming the all digital age is the superior age not when they control you and claim they own you. I want you to know it's the opposite we own you we give you the MONEY understand this and we can easily go somewhere else for our games if you continue to act like this now the delisting has GOTTA stop and I know there are people who will agree and some who will not agree but that's okay now if this rumor isn't true kudos I am here to stay but if I find out the Valve owner is delisting retro gaming for the sake of the "next-gen" I will continue to keep what games I got but I will no longer SUPPORT your company Mr Valve CEO and you can just have a nice day if you don't value the customer please tell me this is all just rumors thanks guys.

UPDATE

Found the video of the guy talking about all of this idk if what he says is true but apparently he believes retro games are disappearing from Steam I could of mis understood him as well I know Sega is replacing older games for newer games and other companies are following them. Long story short something about games being replaced by remasters or something like that with like realistic graphics or something does it sound familiar to anyone? If I need to add more information I will update as I go sorry for confusing people.

You do realize the BBB is just a business that takes bribes to rate companies and has literally no power. They literally rated terrorist organizations A++

We still gotta do something about this some games like Half Life have disappeared and all the Sonic games are vanishing and I was gonna purchase some idk what else was targeted for this but if I find more information I will tell you guys I don't mean to be nasty I just hope this is all rumors I keep hearing them all over YouTube.

Couple of Sonic games are gone and Half Life has disappeared and I think Unreal Tournament is removed from the list I still got the Populous the Beginning Games I only heard rumors retro games are disappearing because they're rendered obsolete even though that's completely not true I know YouTubers are going nuts over it though.

That's kind of weird is the whole search indexing messed up or something or completely disappearing? All I heard was rumors that retro games are being delisted mainly Sega is targeting classic and retro games as well I will be keeping an eye on this. I know for a fact I love Steam but mannnnn I really hope this is rumors I know something is going on about Triple A gaming and it has something to do with that idk what's going on I am just hearing a lot of latest internet drama about delisting so I thought I'd seek help from you guys.

Ah, I see. This is all driven by Youtube outrage videos. "Youtubers going nuts over it" is a good reason to ignore things.


I'm guessing that you're actually referring to when games get a new page for their remastered version - like the old Dead Island games got replaced with the Definitive Editions, or the Bioshock games getting newer versions (I'd had the original Bioshock 2 in my wishlist and eventually the wishlist entry stopped showing details, because the new version had replaced the old one). Also has happened a few times for old games being bundled together.

You snooze, you lose. The idea that devs should be obligated to keep selling something because you spent years not buying it is ridiculous on its face.

Yeah that's sooo weird on my end it's not showing a buy option or in the search indexes at all is this what's going on or something like that? I know there's still Sonic games I wanna buy it looks like I am looking at the Half Price games and they got massively sliced in half to 0.99 but it's not popping up in Search results is it possible this is why people are freaking out? I'm trying to remain calm about this because I just wanna know if I can still buy retro games hell I don't know why half the retro games I am looking up are gone I hope that's not the reason though are they putting these games in bundles or something?

Manufacturers have every right to stop making/selling any of their products irrespective of your purchasing desires. Any game that you have already purchased that gets delisted still remains accessible in your library.

If you didn't purchase a game before it was delisted, I believe the old expression of "dems da breaks" is appropriate.

And that is where you seriously and totally went wrong.

[AustrAlien2010]

Yeah, we're trying to get these old games on Steam so you can purchase them.

For example, we still want to have Warhammer Dark Omen and Clive Barker's Undying on Steam. But it's up to the publishers to do that, and keep them on Steam forever.

To be fair, Valve already has an F on BBB and has had that F for many years now. I don't think they care about the BBB at all.

Also the FTC isn't going to do anything against dev/pubs deciding to no longer sell their games on a store, so you really don't have a valid complaint there when it comes to the FTC.

I'm gonna add all the classic Sonic games to my list then I own Sonic Adventure 2 in my Library and I got Sonic Generations which people recently saved from an attempted delist for the new Sonic X Shadow game I am still getting that game too which looks promising and it looks like I meet the requirements. If anything else pops into mind I will check it out and see what's going on but that's just strange how some of the games aren't popping up in my Search Indexes I think Alan Wake disappeared as well in the search index but it exists in my Library but that was because I actually snagged a disc when Windows 7 was still actually a thing RIP Windows 7 you will be missed I'm glad I got Alan Wake while I did now when I type in Google Search it doesn't even appear like they replaced it with the Alan Wake 2 game like it doesn't exist weird.
