Warning when a game is about to be removed from the system
Added by
Moley936 Sometimes for one reason or another a game has to be removed from purchase (Like XIII at the end of 2012) It would be nice if gog.com forewarned everybody it was going to happen through the news feed.

mukanana My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

Catmancer I'd like to add, post a warning in an email or in the news section. Not hidden away in the forums where no one is likely to see it on time.

Document Alan Wake was another case where we got a warning.
KnightShadePrime Yeah. Your e-mail already sends a lot of other notifications, so how hard would a "Last Chance!" message be?

fry face no space Better yet please don't remove stuff from the system. Please see Planescape: Torment.
actKK Mmmm, this is so simple I suspect there has to be some legal or contractual issues to be implemented. Maybe the deal with the copyright owners is the they can ask the removal with no warning so GOG can't do anything about it...
mr_dito Say bye bye to Human Fall Flat ... and another game dissapeared without any previous warning. Seriously GOG, you post news even about some game patches, what would be the problem to inform your customers by a news before a game becomes removed?
Max_Power84 Quick question: Has any game on GOG ever been removed completely, so that you couldn't download it anymore, even though you paid for it? If that's the case I should probably start making backups (or stop buying games...). I noticed some of the games in my library aren't on the store anymore, but I'm not sure if games disappeared from the library.
Apart from that, I absolutely agree GOG should wanr about games getting removed from the store in advance. The way I see it, it would be profitable for them and good for anyone who still wants to buy the title. Win-win...
blkbrdsr71 I'd say give us an e-mail saying something like "Only one week till game x is gone for good" or "Time is running out, buy game x now at www.gog.com".
Marscaleb For real! I wanted to buy Duke Nukem Megaton Edition, but when I went to do so, it was gone!
As a rule, I try to avoid buying a game unless I'm actually going to play it, even if that means missing a sale. And when I wanted to play it, it was no longer there...
##@@##@@ They did it for 'Schein' and that buggy Steampunk game (Windforge?). Seems they do it now...?
Herrick So much for waiting for a game to go on sale when it can be discontinued without notice. I had so many games on my Wishlist that I can't even tell which ones were discontinued.
I'm going to have to keep another Wishlist on my computer so I can keep track of what's been discontinued.
PrimalCerebrate does anybody know the reasons for this?
Crayons1920 They removed XIII Damn :( www.gogwiki.com/wiki/List_of_games_removed_from_GOG
skeletonbow IMHO, nothing is likely to change about this on GOG.com no matter how many people vote for it. I say this because this feature is one of the highest wished features on the wishlist to date, but unlike most of the other ones that are listed as "in progress", this one is not. I believe the reason for this is two-fold.
1) GOG already does this and has publicly stated that they will always do this whenever it is possible for them to do so, so in that regard nobody has to vote for it because they already agree and already do it.
2) GOG does not always get advance warning from a publisher that they are going to remove a game from the store leaving GOG any time to pass along any advance warnings to customers as being wished for here. If a publisher tells GOG "You must stop selling this game immediately due to legal reasons effective immediately." at 9:00am, then GOG will legally have to stop selling it as soon as their employees can remove it from the store. It is also possible they may be prevented from giving warnings in advance even if they do know about something in advance if there is a legal NDA agreement in place preventing them from doing this.
Since they already do what they are able to do with regards to this wish, and what they are not able to do is not within their control to decide, I posit that this will never be changed to "in progress" nor ever "complete" because they are already doing everything within their power to give warnings in advance about this when they are able to do so.
Vote away though, not that it will make any difference. :)
TotalViking I recently got the shock of not being able to purchase R.U.S.E. for a friend on steam. I haven't noticed it with Good Old Games as of yet, but I'm definitely for it if it happens to a game I love on GOG.
jimmmmmo yeah, it should be announced with a clearance sale! So then everyone can go on instabuy :D
Plok_HR @rexcohen - Yes. The original Fallout games (returned last year) and Duke Nukem titles. Both times because of shifting of IP owners. For Fallout, GOG knew that beforehand and made a free game giveaway until they were no longer allowed to sell it. Curiously, Steam doesn't have trouble with this.
rexcohen Has any game been removed?
yaboyipso This happens alot to mac versions of games, Fallout series was removed for MAC but still up for Windows. A warning would be nice.
Dean_Demon It's not just a case of GOG informing their customers when this is going to happen as in most cases there is no warning that a developer is either no longer going to support a game or they go out of business especially if there is no publisher involved, i'm ok if steam, GOG etc tell me that my game is no longer available etc.
MaximeMartyr Well... I think that GOG remove games from its collection because creators ask GOG to do.
So GOG will not say "Hey! I cannot distribute this game anymore. So get it before I remove it!".
Treehugger This is a good idea for GOG.com to perhaps make a little more money — how many of us would buy something just because it's about to disappear forever? …… (For anyone who doesn't know, purchased games that are taken down from the store will still remain available in your personal library.)
Senestoj On Steam there's regularly many games disappearing, and it's a complicated problem if a dev/publisher stop support a game and this game stops run well with new OS.
I doubt any law will force a dev continue support a game on any shop system.
But those shops shouldn't just hide from a library those game removed as Steam does. It's clearly weird even if the problem isn't simple.
paladin181 There typically is a warning unless the publisher doesn't allow it. And even if GoG loses a game, it stays in your library, so Mat00 you have nothing to fear from that.
gameragodzilla I'd like something like this as well. I only bought the Duke Nukem games on GOG because they were gonna be taken off (well that and the 90% discount). While the announcement was sufficient for me to know that the games were being taken off, I'd like a better, more noticeable alert so everyone interested will know about it.
Mungojerrie86 Would be a good thing,
Mat00 Not only GOG should advise us, but a law should be put in place to protect the consumer about it. It's like buying a Tv and two years laters, because of a change in the corporation who made your Tv, corporation peoples break in your house, take the Tv and go... No refund, no explanation, no laws to protect you and a lot of laws to refrain you to take countermeasure... Just like so many stuff in my steam library who disappeared or loosing right on games i payed for because sony or %$? sold it to another thief publisher like daybreak who told me that my ultimate edition didnt never existed and have no value because its not the new deformed ultimate edition they posted over the old one..... I'm with you and i'm even ready to work on a possible law protection for us ! You made a wish that no victims want to talk because pple who do so get banned and post erased.
A guy asked on ubisoft forum why he doesn't have anymore Shades of Darkness with is deluxe edition of MMH 6, he never got a simgle reply in about 6 months. I answered is question 2 days ago and Ubisoft is already trying to force me to accept a new license agreement who make me aknowledge that i have no rights on what I payed for or otherwise i will loose my account and the rights to use my games lol. And by saying this, even if is a fact and not a discretional complaint and by the laws can do so, im risking my account lol. Push hard peoples, you don't need them, but they need you and they will never tell it and act like it until they have no others choices... Happy New Year !
Wolve-San Did anyone think this idea through?
I mean, did you even start to think about the circumstances? If a publisher or developer of a game says, that you have to delete it immediately, than you have to do it immediately! You can't let the game stay on the page and wait 30 days, because the users have to know, that it will disappear.
brunocar decent, you will be missed
Faulyn email twitter facebook many different ways to get the message if you have provided the proper info to GOG.... after all mass mailing from them would help many and GOG wold be in your safe list.......
hahahehelolz +1 for this feature. Although if you absolutely need this there are ways of doing it yourself. If you redirect your save game folder for individual games to a folder on onedrive/dropbox. I use Junction Link Magic and it works fine. There are plenty other freeware applications that do the same thing.
Mau_Stormbringer very true, we need these kinds of things, first and foremost in a place like Gog.
MisterKIKI Licensing issues has been a real problem with the XBLs and PSNs. Wish I didn't miss out on Outrun 2 for example.
T.U.M. I would really like this. Please have this!!!
Heckler Agree wholeheartedly. Please create and enforce a policy of a required advance notification (30 days seems fair, imo) to potential buyers when a game will be removed from GoG so customers can take opportunity before its too late.
JamesBond007 After recent removal of Mob Rule, I would recommend a new policy - the game already present on GOG cannot be removed without a warning and the developers/publishers/rights owners must agree with that.
akima_v I guess this uncertainty about the future of certain games on GOG highlights how important it is to by your games DRM free. We can all download our games from GOG and no matter what happens legally with the game pubishers and no matter what happens to GOG as a company, we will still have our games!
