PayPalDramatic Labs / Bruner House have abruptly announced that Star Trek: Resurgence from 2024 is already being delisted.
What is Star Trek: Resurgence? From the Steam page: "a narrative-driven adventure game created by former members of Telltale Games that delivers all the excitement and wonder of the Star Trek universe. As first officer Jara Rydek and enlisted engineer Carter Diaz, you will join the crew of the U.S.S. Resolute, a science vessel on the edge of Federation space. Its mission: to prevent an ancient and powerful force from engulfing everything in its wake"
So why is it going to vanish so soon? Licensing. The announcement posted April 14th simply said:
Our license to distribute Star Trek: Resurgence has come to an end, so the game will no longer be offered for sale. Existing customers can continue to access the game via their Steam library.
Thanks to everyone who was able to enjoy the game! LLAP!
It has an overall Very Positive user score on Steam, so to see it just vanish is pretty rubbish. It often feels like some rights holders just don't want to see their own stuff succeed. Another hit for game preservation to see yet another game that will just be gone.

But having the licensing expire after a mere 2 years is ridiculous. Its continued sale will result in continued royalties, I really don't get why :-(
Edit: I read that apparently Paramount/Skydance decided to up Star Trek licensing costs by 2000%
Feels like the "new owners" want to price out the small guy :-(

Quoting: Purple Library GuySo if they're not selling the game at all, is it still piracy or should it properly be called "game preservation" instead?Nobody will judge you for preserving a game ;-)

Is it a complete game or kind of broken development title?
Neither the developer or publisher have anything else listed on Steam, so with this game being removed, they surely won't survive (if they haven't already folded).

Quoting: Linux_RocksParamount's new owners are even worse than the old ones too. So I'm not expecting anything to get any better either.Once the merger between Paramount and Warner Brothers Discovery is complete, the new owner is going to be David Ellison, son of Larry Ellison. His dad put money into Trump's campaign and is friends with him, which should make it easy to approve once it goes through the usual merger routine.
After the merger, it's going to get worse with the amount of debt they'll be carrying to the tune of about $80 billion. Before you know it, a lot of heads are going to roll just like any other merger because they'll need to find ways to pay that back.
