Nothing lasts forever, even games. Especially in their digital form. Small indie titles don’t tend to have physical copies so the only way to get them is to purchase them in a digital store. With that even if a game is removed from the shop at some point, you will still have it in your library indefinitely. Or, at least until servers are alive and stable.
Games with online elements, and especially the ones with online trophies, have a special place in trophy hunters’ mind. Those who aim for 100% completion should be twice as vigilante with titles like these, as you can never know how long a game will last and when servers will get hammered. Even a fresh release doesn’t guarantee a game a long life.
Because of this it’s vital to keep an eye on the news of future server shutdowns and delistings. If a developer is understanding and attentive to their gamer base, they can send a warning before their game becomes unavailable. But this is not always the case.
Below is a list of upcoming server shutdowns and delistings. Information is taken from open sources.
