I just realized that Spec Ops: The Line - one of the most thought-provoking shooters ever made - has been completely delisted from all digital storefronts.

@killyourfm Hm. I don't know how or why but I have it on Steam.

@tamitha If you owned it on Steam already, you'd retain it in your library.

@killyourfm Not to mention that any attempt to preserve these games is met with cease-and-desist letters, DMCA uses, or litigation. A project worked on for years by hundreds of people, and enjoyed by millions, completely legally inaccessible by anyone who didn't already "own" it.
Because the publisher didn't want to renew the license to the music in the main menu, and couldn't be bothered to change it.
It's infuriating.

@engravecavedave Grrrrrr. And on that note, an update to Alan Wake will be removing Bowie's "Space Oddity..."

@serebit You know, I used to be staunchly anti-piracy. That stance is changing pretty fast...

@killyourfm this one has made me so mad! π€¬
Stupid music licensing. Whenever I think about it, I feel like it should be handled differently. It's okay to pay a certain licensing fee ONCE, but it should be clear that the media is rolled into something else. It's transformed and becomes part of this new property.
I want to shout "do it like the movies!!!", but then I remember that they removed the iconic Frank Sinatra intro on the DVD releases of "Married with children"...due to licensing costs. -
@mforester They did? That's unforgiveable! Speaking of ridiculous music licensing news, an update to Alan Wake will remove Bowie's "Space Oddity..."
This is getting out of hand.

@[email protected] @[email protected] LOL. I just found it in my Steam library. I've never played it. Is it any good?
