Friendly reminder to sign the StopKillingGames petition to avoid bullshit like this in the future.

- While everyone should sign it, the campaign is about publishers that kill games that could conceivably remain working.
  De-listing is likely a result of expired licensing or similar, and I don’t think it’s feasible (or realistic) to require companies to renew licenses in perpetuity just to keep selling games.
  
  People should learn to read more than the name of the petition.
- While I agree with the sentiment: It won't be killed, "just" de-listed from sale. If you buy it now, you can still p/ay it.
  Although an end-of-life plan would probably make it easier for the publishers to still sell the game after licences expire.
  
  Why did you write „play“ like this?
  
  Delisting a game goes against the point of game preservation. The trick of "buy it now to keep it" sounds like FOMO.
Just a heads up that if you try buying from Humble, they have no keys right now for this game. It's very possible we'll never get them with the impending delist.
- Yeah, Humble has been spiraling, and this is one of the largest symptoms. If they’re out of stock, they shouldn’t be allowed to list the game for sale. It’s particularly bad on their Humble Choice offers, where trying to claim after Day 1 often ends up with half of the keys listed as out of stock.
  
  Interesting, I haven't had that experience with Humble Choice. Sometimes I don't redeem for a week or more and I still manage to get keys. Was there any particular game that you had this issue with?
  
  Aren't they a charity?
- Always redeem (or sell) your Humble keys ASAP people
  
  Yeah I tried to redeem within 2 min of buying. They are selling this without any keys in their system.
But remember, don't pirate guys
How come it's getting removed?
- Expired movie license probably.
  
  Too much work to simply swap out the assets and change the character's name with a patch?
Is this any good?
- It was okay. Nothing exciting, but one aspect of it that I did like is that you can choose to watch your choices happen in real time after you finish a level, which - although not the smoothest - does actually make it feel like John Wick just rolled through.
can always sail the high seas. if they don't want your money don't give it to them.
I “own” this on PlayStation. Will I still be able to download it after 17th?
Edit: I just read the article and it says that we will.
Is it worth picking up before it's removed?
Makes me wonder if he could just rip the branding from it, alter the character a bit and stick it out again.
- I'd definitely consider John Dick's Hex
It's on my wishlist, but don't want to buy on full price, but also don't want to buy for PC...
what the hex

It's a mystery
- Likely Cause: Licensing Expiration
