We live in an age where we buy games with expiration dates that aren't even considered ours anymore. This is great.

No we don't, we buy games and own them. The online is a "service" that for the most part, ends when the developer stops making sales on said product. Online "only" games like The Crew could be considered not ours, but you still own the disc or digital version.

Note: This was originally reported on last year by IGN. I just became aware of this because of a recent Facebook post where another development team was saying farewell to them. My apologies. 

 

Publisher/Developer Mimimi Games GmbH (a.k.a. Mimimi Productions) is shutting down. They made The Last Tinker (Delisted in 2023)Desperados III, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun & Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. The only game out of the four that was self-published was Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice was announced last year for PS4 but who knows if that will still be released. For what it's worth, they stated that there games will remain up for sale.

 

If anyone is worried that they will eventually be delisted, Shadow Tactics is currently heavily discounted on PSN until April 25, 2024. Shadow Gambit is also on sale until April 25, 2024 but is still quite expensive. Desperados III & Shadow Tactics are available to play for PS+ Extra members.

How about a spreadsheet for old times sake:

I mentioned this in the old shutdown thread before on it's closing. But to add besides the old article. They didn't see any forseeable impacts coming in the way of delistings at the time.

 

Shadows Gambit was their last game and they did released a dlc for it posthumously as promised too so I think it's likely they won't go down.

 

Shadow Tactics Aiko's choice by the way was a standalone expansion that was released for the PC version only. The devs were going to try to make it available on console as well, but by that time they got around to making a port of it the console version was made on an older version of Unity and they would've had to rework the entire thing to port over. This information was shared through video dev diaries before so most people missed them.

In probably the biggest move today Embracer has done to try and settle their debts.

 

They have officially spilt into three separate entities. The one entity will be gaming developer, publisher and licensor Asmodee. Asmodee owns Twin Sails Interactive (formerly Asmodee Digital) in a controversial take apparently Asmodee assets were used towards a $900 million euro loan. If anything fails Asmodee will be held liable for any repayments. While Embracer Group will be not liable.

 

Obviously there's not many games on PSN luckily by Asmodee or licensed IPs either. But since the debts have till 2025 to be paid, we could see an entire catalogue of games possibly disappear in the future if they are forced to repay through any means.

2K puts the shutdown date out when they release games. This is about as long as all of their online games last these days. 

Makes sense for annual sports titles and the like which are created with a "best before" in mind.

 

This is what I call "best practice".

Does this mean the servers will be nuked as well?

Does downgrading 7 Days to Die and getting player kills through the trader kill glitch mean the plat can be fully done offline?

Yes, although playing it in co-op for some of the trophies makes it a lot easier since you can duplicate everything
