I vote sticky. I will know if anything is being delisted, it will be located in the top tier of forum discussions. Anything else will just get lost if it's not popular.

Sticky (with some way to make it stand out, color or emoji)


But please continue making a new post for each game (un-sticky after a game is gone). A single mega-thread would only work if only GOG staff could comment. Letting anyone comment in such a mega-thread would continually update the modified date forcing visitors to open the topic every time they visit the forum and add extra effort of scrolling past user comments.

I would prefer a single sticky topic with all the delisting announcements, maybe also locked to only GOG staff, so we'll just have list of all the delisted/delisting games

this

Sticky.

Or ideally create 2 threads (one comment-locked sticky with a link to the other non-sticky comment-enabled thread which could get bumped over the flotsam of forum games), as posted by tremere110 here.

Oh right, maybe it's too much to ask but have a staff member actively scan for games being removed, so the information gets posted asap. In the years past, it wasn't uncommon to have notices just with mere 2-3 hours left to purchase, if any at all. Probably someone just said "screw it, it's 3pm friday, i'm going home, not gonna post anything anymore today. who cares if the game won't come for a decade or ever again on the pc, it will have to wait till after monday lunch-break". I mean, the community is pulling the weight already, but maybe using some super-secret publisher channels, or pneumatic-tube mail of sorts? Pretty please?

Sticky, as a separate thread for each. Unsticked when actually removed. I also follow the "removed" and "chance of removal" threads, but seeing the GOG posts sticked is the real key.

Sticky !

Sticky please!

I'm quite sure that announcements come as soon as the removal is certain and making it public is permitted. They obviously won't announce a removal while there's even a tiny chance that it won't happen, and even after that moment there may be NDAs involved.

Sticky for me as well. I also wouldn't mind a general de-listing thread that we could add to favs but as said it would have to be locked to staff only posts.

I'm quite sure it is not the case on gog, although in all fairness, they did improve the communication in more recent times (as said in my previous post, it used to be a lot worse). In the last ~3 delistings the gog staff was a good couple of days late, users have beaten them just by scouring social media and/or steam of all places. Actually somewhat amusing side-effect of that is when some publisher forgets about gog altogether and the game gets delisted considerably later.

sticky: Yes please
I missed too many already

Considering I only found this thread due to a misclick. BOTH!

Dont go being a numpty now folks!

Sticky!

It would also be nice if we got an email notification should the soon-to-be-delisted game happens to be in our wishlist.
