Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is getting delisted starting November 15

Slitherine / Black Lab Games have announced that the excellent strategy game Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is going to be removed from all stores.

They said "starting" on November 15th, that the game and all of its DLC "will no longer be available for purchase on any platform" and they wanted to "give everyone a proper heads-up to grab the game while it’s still available". If you already own it on platforms like Steam and GOG, you will still be able to play it, but no one else will be able to buy it once it's gone.

Another terrible hit for game preservation. It's such a huge shame when games are just removed like this. There's probably some sort of rights expiration behind the scenes for the removal, but we can only guess as they didn't give an actual reason.

We do also have Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes upcoming but it's a very different game. Still, at least there will be something expanding the Battlestar universe that I love so much.

If you want to grab Battlestar Galactica Deadlock before it's gone possibly forever, the GOG store has it on a 70% discount until the 17th.

Battlestar Galactica Deadlock | Release Date: 31st August 2017

You know it's some ultra shitty lawyer reason / publisher reason for this. When this kind of thing happens, I really wish one of the old devs would anon drop a torrent with all of it and share it on bluesky or whatever, just to keep it alive.

That's good of course, but usually you can still download the game after is has been "delisted".

Of course the DLC isn't on sale on Steam where I already have a copy of the game.

I loved most of the show, but the ending still infuriates me. They went through all that hell just to decide to live like cavemen (and why did Apollo get to make that decision for everyone, and why did nobody dispute his decision?), and the whole God thing was ridiculous. It just annoys me so much. I get that it's just a show, but the ending was just so illogical. Also, making Starbuck an angel was stupid. I can never watch that show again because of all that nonsense.

^ I had the good fortune of watching the show after a good friend of mine went through the entire thing. He told me exactly specifically where to stop watching and just consider that the end, and not watch the actual end. I was so glad for that!

Ahhh, hardly anyone remembers the original TV show . . . and deservedly so! After the original movie, which at the time seemed almost as big as the original Star Wars, they did a TV show, which was actually not bad for a while, but sank deeper and deeper in cheese as it went along until I gave up. I don't know how it ended, or if it really ended at all as opposed to getting a sudden axe.

I saw the original 70s one when I was a kid, but only as re-runs.
