    It's a shame to see Gigantic and Evolve go, I genuinely enjoyed Gigantic, but couldn't access the servers at the end to grind anything out.
    While I know we can still play Evolve, I missed it at launch and didn't play it much until they announced the dedicated server shut down, but actually got into it while going for achievements.

    For anybody unaware, Evolve's servers are shutting down on the 3rd of September.

    Evolve Dedicated Servers Will Close

    It's not known which achievement(s) may be affected, so don't hold off to the last minute.

    Dedicated servers are PC only, console and legacy versions can still do peer to peer. Only the emblem maker achievement will be unobtainable probably. Everything else can be done while offline.

    No mention of Adventure Pop being at risk?
    It's a free to play that got delisted.

    As I noted in the sale article, the delisting of the 'Add-Ons Collection' doesn't mean anything. If you check the dates on Storeparser's graphs, you can see it always gets listed and then delisted for every sale it's been a part of.

    I personally still believe the game and the individual DLC will be delisted, just that this particular delising doesn't have any bearing on it.

    Edit:

    Shank is an awesome game. Shank 2 is even better. If you have not picked up the sequel, do it before that becomes a delist victim too.

    It's possible, though I wouldn't bet on it. The Porsche Pack and the Storm Island DLC rarely went on sale at the same time, though the Porsche Pack went on sale way less in general.

    All of the leaderboards and rankings are stored server side so it could end up being a few achievements that become unavailable. Truth is nobody really knows for sure.

    Such a shame no-one knows what will and won't be possible on Evolve, I really want to play it, but can't finish it all in the time remaining. It will be very disappointing if it turns out that only one pointless badge achievement is unobtainable after the closure.

    Other than servers shutting down for multiplayer only games like Evolve and Gigantic, what is the purpose of delisting a game?
  • Posted on 09 August 18 at 14:11
    Not sure if it was on July but also all Angry Birds games on WP got delisted.

    Licenses could have expired among other things. Couldn't tell you the exact details. Ask the publisher!

    I have Shank 2 for some reason and always wanted to play Shank first. Oh, well. I'll just watch a walkthrough online or skip it entirely.

    For Evolve achievements, you may want to look at the Walkthrough page where achievements that will/might become unobtainable are indicated:

    Evolve Walkthrough

    I personally decided not to start the game because I don't want to grind it like crazy in August just to get everything done and be sure I'll complete it.

    Shank was 10 $/€. Not sure if I would have bought it at that price if they had announced the delisting.

    Some of the XBLA price are out of touch with the times.
