PayPalSlitherine / 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.

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

Sudden axe, in my opinion. For me, the original series was great right until the last episode. The follow-up series, Galactica 1980, in the other hand, was horrible. A lot of people look on that series as the final season of the original. I prefer to ignore it.
As to the reimagined series, it was not made for my generation. I just couldn't get into it. I wanted the shiny cylons that looked like knights wearing armor, not this The Thing borrowed cylon that looked just like any other human being. I never made it past the initial miniseries. But the series was huge with the twenty-somethings that worked for me -- as big as Babylon 5 was for my cohort when I was in my twenties.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I'll probably grab some of the "season 1" DLCs from GOG before Nov. 15th.
Ahhh, hardly anyone remembers the original TV showYou are absolutely correct! While i LOVED the Film (i tried to build those ships from cardboard and stuff), the series was awful. But i really jumped when i heard that Ron Moores version had an Adama played by the former boss of Tubbs and Crocket (my favourite Miami Vice character). And hell did he deliver. All of them, which must have been fantastic for Richard Hatch, who fought a long time to give this universe a proper end.
