Hey guys, a heads up that we just (literally, just) had to remove Achtung Panzer: Kharkov 1943 from our catalog.

It's a pretty simple case of rights expiring and changing hands, and we'll be in touch with the new rights owners to get it back up on GOG.com


As usual in sudden situations like these, sorry that we weren't able to give you more of a warning. Hopefully it'll be back before long.
Let me guess, the Estate of Erwin Rommel complained they weren't getting a fair cut.

THOSE NAZI BASTARDS!
ACHTUNG BABY !!

..i dont even know what kind of game it is
sounds very straterererergy

What the actual duck!!!
That game was released on 29 October 2015 and got removed on March 2016!!!
This must be some kind of record in itself.
I think no game has been removed in only 4 months.
And above all it never had discount or went on Sale other than launch discount.
I really wish I would have grabbed it then. :/

Oops,
It's always sad to see something similar to happen. :(

"Dark Matter" was removed after 5 days, back in October 2013.

biggest flop however
Never heard of it, but like a child whose had a meaningless toy taken away, now that it’s gone I want it. That’s how this works.

Whaaaaa'?
...the game was not well-received critically and sales capped at 27 copies in the US with only 176 copies worldwide.
I've never even heard of it. The fact that a 3rd game in the 7th Guest series ever existed is news to me. Given its predecessors, how could it possibly have sold only 176 copies worldwide?

That's not enough. There must have been only a minuscule amount of stores even stocking the game for the sales figure to be that low. Otherwise, more people than that would have stumbled across it purely by accident and decided to buy it based on the reputation of its predecessors, even if they'd never known of its existence beforehand.
