According to the Steam pages, Capcom will be discontinuing digital sales of Dark Void, Dark Void Zero, and Flock! on Steam Store on May 8th 5:30PM PDT.

Wut? Why?

It's not like they're losing money printing physical discs.

Edit: great timing Capcom, while #StopKillingGames is getting more and more traction.

Dark Void is 2.91€ on GamePlanet for the next 3 hours if anybody wants to grab a copy.

Also got myself a PS3 physical copy for 3.99€ on a local second hand website in case they remove it on other storefront as well. These physical copies tend to quickly shoot up in price when their digital version disappear.

Probably because these games use some licensed stuff and these licenses are about to run out.

Weird. Flock and Dark Void Zero would be quite nice on Deck. It's super frustrating when these things happen.

That is a good idea. Don’t think I have this one, will see if I can find a copy.

...Flock!

I remember playing dark void in 3d using 3d vision on my 120inch projector

Was actually amazing with the lasers the 3d was great. Good times

That's also the least expensive place to get Flock!. Steam for DVZ.

Fucking loved the "gimmick" of 3D gaming. Not a necessity for anybody who likes playing games, but it's a bummer to me that the options have pretty much dried up.

(Never tried Dark Void in 3D, I only ever played the demo of the main game and don't remember 3D options in that, but it seems like the kind of game which would have fun stereoscopic effects and would catch my attention longer with the added novelty of 3D.)

Already own Dark Void on Xbox via one of the GwG drops years ago but still, shitty to see games being delisted.

 

[poodaddy]

It's a bummer to see this type of thing. Not exactly great games, but still, nothing should be delisted. Are these on GoG? Apparently they have intrusive DRM on Steam, so I don't think I'd care to buy them there, but if they're on GoG I might grab em up before they're gone. If not, eh, not too worried about it.

 

[Guilty_AI]

These games have broken and outdated DRM that can completely mess up your ability to play it. Don't bother buying them

Yep and it has been like that for years!

 

[crackajack]

I guess I fully understand such actions for MP games where buying them now would be stupid with already happened or imminent server closures, but these are all offline, as offline a steam product can be? And we are not right now in a new OS migration phase to some Windows that might kill their functionality.

Also funny that Flock seems to be releasing this year, ie not Flock!. How lazy can a dev be to name a game practically identical to another game? Stellar Blade is already a bit dumb when Blade is a taken name already, but adding an exclamation mark is just stupid.
