Popular action-adventure series delisted days after Spec Ops: The Line is permanently pulled

Two stellar Devil May Cry games have been delisted on Steam, days after Spec Ops: The Line suffered the same fate.

Two stellar Devil May Cry games have been delisted on Steam, days after Spec Ops: The Line suffered the same fate.

You might want to start hanging on to physical copies of your games, as Steam is delisting titles left, right, and centre. This comes weeks after Ubisoft made the bold claim that gamers need to “get comfortable” with not actually owning their digital games, causing a huge wave of backlash against the company.

Take a look at the new trailer for Death Stranding 2 below.

A few days ago, Spec Ops: The Line seemingly vanished from Steam without a trace. There was no explanation why, or any indication that it was coming back, it just straight-up disappeared. It later was removed from all other digital stores with 2K announcing that it was no longer available due to expired licenses.

In a similarly weird move, two Devil May Cry games have also now been delisted from the Steam store. These are Devil May Cry 4 and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition.

Luckily, you can still buy Devil May Cry 4: Special Edition, but there’s no other way to play Devil May Cry 3 if you don’t own the HD trilogy collection.

Again, there’s been no mention of the disappearance from Capcom and no indication that the games will be relisted at a later date.

Fans were understandably disappointed and worried about the future of digital games, especially seeing how easily they can be ripped from storefronts in order to sell them in more expensive forms or bundles.

“This is what people wanted, an all digital future. Here’s what you get, Spec Ops and now Devil May Cry. Hope y’all happy,” one disgruntled gamer wrote. “What is wrong with Capcom and massive Ls this year,” another added, while someone commented, “I kept passing up on DMC3. Damn.”

Digital games are indeed the future, but from the look of things, it’s not going to be a very good one. Hold onto those physical games as long as you can.
