Game Delistings

From the developer's post:

Happy New Year everyone! Just three hours into 2025, I received an email from Google Play Support with the following subject line:

Action Required: Your app is not compliant with Google Play Policies (Luck be a Landlord)

Nothing has changed with Luck be a Landlord in the past few months, but for whatever reason, my game "contains gambling" now!

I've already gone through this song and dance multiple times with Google Play over the game being banned by them in 13 countries, so while this isn't exactly new, it's a lot scarier!

I genuinely think Luck be a Landlord deserves the equivalent of an E10+ rating across all regions, but at this point I've just given up and will deal with whatever inaccurate rating is slapped on the game.

I've now filled out the Google Play age rating questionnaire to "agree" that my game "contains gambling." I'm doing this in an attempt to stop my game from being banned globally on Google Play since every time I've tried to appeal these decisions I've simply been sent a screenshot of my game and was told "this is gambling."

Whatever happens, I hope you're still able to play my game on your Android device in 2025.

From the announcement post:

Hey guys! So, on November 25th, at 3 PM UTC, Sin Slayers: Reign of The 8th (no GOG page yet) will be released on our platform. Having said that, the publisher decided that with it, the "original" version will be no longer available to buy, which is:

Sin Slayers + all its DLCs + The First Sin (the game's demo).

The removal will happen on the same date as the release of Reign of The 8th. If someone would like to grab this original version (the new version will have some new enemies, but also changes to the game's flow, balance, and optimization) then please do so before the release happens.

From the announcement post:

Hello everyone, unfortunately, we'll be removing SpaceEngine and its DLCs from the store.

The delisting will happen on: November 22th, 2024, at 2 PM UTC.

No chance of a last-minute discount. We'll try to bring it back, maybe when the game receives the full release.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The developer has also delisted games on Itchio and Google Play, so the two games may be at risk there too:

• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rpg.jkgames.knighteternal
• https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.jkgames.findinglight
• https://joshua-keith.itch.io/knight-eternal
• https://joshua-keith.itch.io/finding-light

::: spoiler Titles to be delisted from Nintendo Switch and PlayStation

• SEGA® Genesis Classics™

From the announcement post:

Hey all, unfortunate news:

Decay of Logos will be removed from our store on October 31st, 2 PM UTC.

A last-minute discount won't be possible.

From the message in the linked page:

"We received a complaint about the game in its previous form, but we were able to resolve it amicably by agreeing to make a few changes. The game is now removed from sale from various platforms, but we are hoping to relaunch the game soon with a different name."

Please return November 5th, 2024 for more information. You may be surprised.

From what I could find, the game is/was available on:

• GOG (which also had a delisting announcement)
• Steam
• Humble Bundle (DRM free + Steam key)
• Microsoft Store (Windows, Xbox One & Series X/S)
• Epic Games Store
• Google Play (already delisted - archived page)
• IOS (link doesn't load, so likely already delisted; archived page)
• Nintendo Switch (Nintendo eshop page)
• PlayStation Store (PS4 + PS5; apparently already delisted, so archived page)

From the official announcement post:

Hey everyone! As much as I hate posting such information, we have an upcoming delisting.

Per the publisher's request both The Suffering (https://www.gog.com/game/the_suffering) and The Suffering: Ties That Bind (https://www.gog.com/game/the_suffering_ties_that_bind) will leave our store on September 1st (no exact hour yet).

Grab the game before that if you're interested. And as always, I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
