This includes Spacer's Choice btw.

Ancestors is on an %80 discount rn if anyone wants to pick it up.

We've secured a discount for Ancestors, but couldn't do so for The Outer Worlds.

God forbid someone would have bought it, played and became interested in a sequel that just came out.

At least a warning a few days in advance. But this is sad to see. Wonder who and why that decision was made.

Thankfully, Microsoft still has not forced Bethesda to stop releasing in GOG (probably they are mostly unaware of it). The Outer Worlds was originally published by Take Two, so it released in GOG.

The games were published by a then Take-Two subsidiary called Private Division. The deal they had offered to the devs behind these games mentioned that the studios would retain the IPs but publishing rights would remain at Private Division, which was shutdown last year.

So who the fuck owns what at this point? That might be a possible reason for these delistings.

Probably due to some sort of commitment they made during their negotiations with regulators. I give it a couple more years before they pull out entirely.

Thanks for the heads up, to bad The Outer Worlds is not on sale just as Ancestors.

Thats Bethesda. Thats what I am saying, only Bethesda games release on GOG. As Astray said it was probably part of the agreement when they bought Bethesda.

Yeah Microsoft seems to hate GOG. Over the last 3 decades Microsoft has made so many games that could be on GOG.
