Just to let you know, I do keep an eye on this thread, along with the main one. I honestly feel like some of you care way too much about individual posts, more than the purpose of the original thread itself. Almost every post is reported at this point, generally by the same two people (you know who you are), and half of them have no reason to be reported. I keep thinking I've made it clear what does and doesn't belong in the thread, but it seems like if it's not relevant to you in particular, or it doesn't provide the exact information you need, it doesn't belong there. This is what does belong in the thread:

• Games/DLC/Software at an immediate risk of removal (if it hasn't already been mentioned in a reasonably recent amount of time)
  
• Games/DLC/Software that have an announced time limit (reminders allowed if it hasn't already been mentioned in a reasonably recent amount of time)
  
• Games/DLC/Software that have a reasonable expectation of immediate removal (DMCA, dev behavior, etc.)
  
• Games/DLC/Software that has been recently removed without warning (sources or no sources, the information is still valid), assuming it hasn't already been mentioned.
  
• Useful relevant information regarding at risk or removed content (it was always meant to be a discussion thread, not an announcement thread)
  
• Relevant questions regarding an at risk or removed game, or follow up information regarding a previous post that contributes to the discussion

To be honest, the only posts that really don't belong in the thread are those comments that are absolutely off topic, thank you and complaint posts.

Regarding bans, the last time I threatened to ban people, the number of posts in the thread dropped significantly for a short while, which is something I wanted to avoid (because some relevant information was also not posted, most likely due to fear of posting something that would be considered as off topic). I don't really want to use bans as a punishment unless absolutely necessary because I do believe that people, even those occasionally posting off topic, can have something useful to say (and most who would be getting bans based on my latest post are those who have posted something relevant and important in the past).

I'd also like to note that a few of you who've posted recently would be banned right now as a result of what I've said earlier if I kept strictly to what I said a couple of weeks ago, even though you're here complaining (including the three above me, WYDRA, sandy, and GraVe), so before you start talking about the way I handle things, consider how I have to take the bigger picture into account before taking action.

In the end, this is a resource post for people who want information about removals on Steam, I do what I can to keep it organized but every person I stop from posting is less information provided. Don't blame the thread and don't blame the moderation, and don't criticize if some of your posts are deleted, there's always a valid reason for it, and if you have a question, you can always ask.

It seems like some people are still confused about a few things. There are dedicated threads for specific content to avoid unnecessary spam in this thread (mainly from people complaining).

Games Transitioning from Paid -> F2P or F2P -> Paid: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/RemGC/discussions/9/600779821140810451/

Prominent Sales of High Risk Games: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/RemGC/discussions/1/558753804091726293/

I've added both of these to the original post in this thread for easy availability. If a game that fits into either of these categories are at some immediate risk of removal for a legitimate reason, if you do post here, please provide the reason as well. The posts directly above, for example, which were all clowned and reported, should be posted here as the reason the game went f2p was because the game is no longer supported, which provides a direct risk of removal down the line.

If you're not sure whether a game was mentioned recently enough to be worth repeating, please use the search function to see when the last mention was, and use your best judgement.

I hate that it had to come to this, because I like to encourage discussion and sharing information between as many people as possible (that was the entire purpose for creating this group), but you guys leave me no choice. I'll make it simple, people who make off topic posts from now on will be banned from posting in the group (and don't think that deleting your post after the fact will help, I can see them all).

Note: To clear it up, posting about a removal that happens significantly later than expected is fine to note, there's no need to bring up a game that gets removed when it's expected to (or near the announced date), but months later is fine. Mentioning a game that wasn't brought up before but has already been removed is also fine, even if some of you don't want to see games that are too late to obtained mentioned, it's still relevant.

Out of all the useless comments that have been posted in the last day or so (and frequently in recent months), this is really the only thing that matters.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/groups/RemGC/discussions/1/154644349169335258/?ctp=22

Personally, the notifications of limited free games weren't a bother to me, and while the primary focus of this thread is removal announcements, I didn't think it hurt to have a little extra information thrown in from time to time (extra notifications really aren't the end of the world, regardless of how you may feel about them). It's not incredibly frequent, maybe a game or two per week, if that, which wouldn't really amount to much of a problem.

The main issue is the people who find it necessary to comment in the thread about it being a problem, which causes not one, not two, but generally ten or more people to come out and complain about the extra notifications, half the time people who haven't even properly contributed to the thread itself. If you don't see how expanding on a problematic situation (which is already minor at worst) with something significantly worse is really the problem, I'm not sure how I could explain it to you properly.

From now on, please make posts about limited free games in the thread Peace linked above, it should solve at least some of the headaches. Do not reply to this post, we don't need to have any more discussions about it.

This group is already over a decade old, providing information to people who want it, supplied by members of the community. Nobody is being forced to make a post, nobody is being paid, this is all done by people who are taking the time to let other people know about something they may find useful. I already get complaints from people waiting for invites to get accepted (I still get plenty of requests, nearly all of which don't qualify, which just makes things take significantly longer), I get messages about off topic remarks in threads, and I have to see situations like this (threads devolving into chaos, this one nearing 10k comments alone of nearly all useful information), without anyone taking into account what people may be dealing with outside of this small point of the internet (I don't really collect games myself anymore, but I still want to see the group thrive). Please don't argue, please stay calm, and please don't make situations worse.

So we don't have hundreds of posts repeating information that has been available for a long time already, I'll leave the steamgifts thread that is trying to track the information. Dark Souls, Deadpool, and Ultimate Alliance 1/2 are the only games that were newly available, everything else in this SG post as well as mentioned so far in this thread has been available on Amazon for years. Amazon has a long history of not taking games down once they're removed on other platforms and selling the games until they actually run out of stock.

https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/za987/delisted-game-deals-amazon-2025-several-activision-games-are-back-in-stock-in-works

A lot of games still have sources, and quite a few people have pending gifts for removals so there may be some delayed activations. There are also newly added users, private profiles going public, and a couple of mislabeled games mixed in here and there. As far as I'm aware, the glitch is currently over, and that means there's no longer a need for further discussion at this time. I'll be locking the thread because it seems to have just led to a discussion with no evidence backing it up, which just creates conflict and serves no purpose.

Just for reference, I did edit the post, I'm not sure if you took it that way or not from what you wrote but it wasn't someone else claiming to be me, I wanted to leave the actual relevant part of the conversation without leaving the nonsense behind for people to comment on unnecessarily (which had already started to happen inbetween deleting the other posts and making that edit).

I try to save bans for a last resort, but just know that if people do start to get banned for this behavior, primarily complaining about what other people post or getting completely off topic, which seems to happen every couple of weeks (if not more frequently), everyone involved will take the same hit, the initial person posting the off topic message along with everyone who replies to it. I always felt that having more people available to post relevant information was beneficial for the community, which is why the major threads are in the public forum and the group itself is visible to everyone rather than hidden behind membership requirements, and it's one of the primary reasons the group was created in the first place. I've always felt that starting to ban people for spam here and there would end up discouraging people from posting, which I would like to avoid, but if people feel that forum bans to discourage spam is the better choice, I can start doing that going forward.

Dear Friends,

After December 31, 2023, Angel Flare will no longer be available for new purchases on Steam.

If you already own Angel Flare, it will remain accessible in your Steam library, allowing you to continue enjoying the game.
Also, if you have a Steam Key, remember to redeem it, as it won't work after the game is no longer available

Thank you to everyone who supported our game.

Warm wishes,

The Angel Flare Team

Now even cheaper, 51% off of the price cut, which should put it at the minimum.

Acts 1 - 3 are being removed from the Steam store
The Scout Anthology will combine all three Acts into one game
Hello, Redwallers!

In case you have been living under a rock, or been cooped up in Salamandastron without contact to the outside world for the past few months, The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout is getting an upgrade that combines all of the original Acts into one game on Steam, Xbox, and Playstation in The Lost Legends of Redwall: The Scout Anthology!

Our team is thrilled to release this updated version of the game that will include lots of features that we believe you woodlanders will be quite excited for.😉 In preparation for the release of this game, the original three Acts of The Scout are being removed from the Steam store. As a thank-you gift to all of the owners of the original games, we have pushed one final, massive bugfix to the three original games that went live last Friday!

Don't miss out on this fantastic next version of The Scout, and thank you to all our players who were willing to take a chance on this team and buy the original version of the game! We are forever in your debt!

The ones without the image don't have the app included anymore, you need to find one with the image still available.

This is most likely what you have: https://steamdb.info/sub/45183/
