I'm actually curious about said streaming service, know your enemy and all that, but the article you linked doens't mention anything about it. Did you link the wrong article?

To buy or not to buy. That is the question...
Some say: "There’s no date on when this game will return or if Activision will attempt to renegotiate with Disney to sell Deadpool‘s game once more, but if you haven’t seen the 007 games back on digital distributors then don’t expect to see Deadpool’s title back anytime soon. Activision likely only brought it back before to capitalize on Ryan Reynolds’ movie."

And they also say: "Honestly just watch cutscenes of it on youtube. Then you get the humor but don't have to play through hours of repetitive and monotonous gameplay"

Not interested, but thanks for the heads up.

In cases like this, I'm glad Valve stopped the "buy for later use" thing. I just know some people would have stocked up on the game, waited it's removal and then started to re-sell copies with a profit.

Why is this important news? What makes this game so particularly important?

Nowadays I rarely buy DRM games into backlog (waiting to be played many many years later), so I will probably just skip this "offer".

Now, the GOG version of Call of Cluthtltlu, that's a game I wish I would have gotten when it was on the store, but then I consider it probable it will come back.

Same reason all the lame games are important when they leave GOG?

But at least on GOG you don't have to care about the existence of the store and the service, when you finally get around to play it.

I am currently playing Dungeon Siege: Legends of Aranna (retail version), which I think I bought like 13 years ago or so. This is how I like it, my games being detached from DRM-shackles which could potentially prevent me from playing it years from now. (Sure there may be other problems preventing it as well like technical problems on future PCs, but that is beside the point; DRM is yet another additional and unneeded impediment on top of all the other impediments).

EDIT: And anyway, it is a Steam game, not a GOG game, and I don't think it is usually mentioned here if some game is going to disappear from some other service (like Steam, Origin or UPlay). So what makes this particular game so exceptional that everyone, also on other services other than Steam, need to be aware of it? Honest question, I have no idea what kind of game that is and whether it is good or bad.

Some folks thought very highly of Chris Taylor when that game came out.

Since then, well.....

TinyE and I were discussing the game a week or so ago in another thread. He had always wanted to try it. I had found a very large stack of the game in a dollar store.

This has been on my wishlist for quite a lot of time. But, honestly, I think I lost interest somewhere around the time it came back to steam the first time.

Given my eternal plight of lacking a job, I don't think I'll be spending the few bucks I have on my steam wallet on it. But it's sad to see it go.

That was the steam version (aka, a disk with nothing more then a steam installer with a steam key) for 1$ each?
For 1$ a piece that's quite cheap, you should have bought a couple.

No it was the retail version. The tremour is a little bad tonight so don't expect perfection on these.

Oh and its the first one, not the follow up. Sorry about that.
