The current group requirement is 200 Removed (Delisted) + Purchase Disabled games. You're currently sitting at 66, which isn't quite enough to join yet, sorry.

For anyone asking for an invite, please include your discord name in your post and I'll send the request there. You can remove the name from your post once you get the invite if it bothers you having it posted here.

Also, if there's anyone who asked for an invite and hasn't yet received one (who already posted their discord name), please let me know.

I should also mention that, while it's not required to be a member of the group to request a discord invite, at least try to show some interest in removed game collecting, I don't really know how much sense it makes to send an invite to someone who owns little to no removed games in the first place.

Please request to join the group on the group page and I'll accept the request. Welcome to the group :)

Crimzon Clover WORLD IGNITION

Getting removed in either 1 minute or tomorrow at 2PM PST, the day and date in the announcement don't match.

Due to the release of the new version of "Crimzon Clover," we have decided to delist "Crimzon Clover WORLD IGNITION" from purchasable on Steam on Wednesday, December 21, 2021 at 14:00 PST.

EDIT: Dev confirmed it's today, should be gone any minute. The current cheapest source is Fanatical.

The group description was changed to specify removed and purchase disabled games a long time ago, removed being synonymous with delisted as far as terminology goes. I tried to be clear about the requirement a long time ago, but I guess that wasn't clear enough. I tried to add more detail yesterday but I also updated it again today to hopefully make it as specific as possible.

I've all but forgotten about this group because the level of entry started looking sillier the more I had to dig for information. Now I'm only here because of this post notification. I don't know if I meet the requirements by now or not - but I frankly do not care anymore either. Explaining the expectations upfront would definitely encourage people to care more before attempting to join instead of being refused and no longer being able to join even if they eventually did become acceptable.

Just for reference, you do meet the group requirements as they stand, and in terms of explaining the expectations up front, the group profile had said 200 Removed + Purchase Disabled scannable games for quite a while now, but that doesn't seem to stop people who own less than 5 games total from every category combined from making requests to join. Also, if a request is rejected, anyone can post an application thread and will be invited directly by a moderator.

As for the requirement looking silly, not sure what you mean by that. I could've had the requirement set to something lower but that would've made the bar to entry so low that everyone could've joined by spending a few dollars (I increased the requirement over the years because it sometimes got to the point where someone could spend a few dollars and directly buy their way into the group because of cheap games on third party sites that counted). I have to have the number somewhat competitive so there's something to work for beyond just buying available games to get in, I wanted to encourage planning ahead with purchases, trading, and optimizing money spent if possible. Even so, I haven't increased the requirement in quite a while, the last change was an increase paired with including purchase disabled games, which actually made it much more manageable than it was when it was 130 delisted games only.

You're currently at 31 games that count towards the group requirement. F2P (Unavailable) games are not considered towards the 200 needed.

(That's a price raise, not a removal.)

It's hard to say if it's a removal and new app id, or just a complete update of the game (the dev makes it seem like an update by using the word deleted and telling people to back up the game if they want to play the current version), but I figured for $1 it was worth mentioning just in case.

I requested to join the group a couple of months ago and still waiting for approval. I got 210 games, no VAC ban and public profile.

Thanks in advance.
