This topic is about retail and downloadable games that you wanted to play at some point, but they are no longer available anywhere or even if they are, they are not playable. If you know any retail games (PC or Console) that have gone extinct, you are free to share. If there are some games you did play but they are no longer available/playable, please share!
I wish every game had a physical retail release that isn't having a single use code. This way the game would have life as long as the copy exists. I hate to see games (despite how legendary or awful garbage they may be) vanish into non-existence because of this. Some games have had retail release, but the game has been "multiplayer only" with dedicated servers available by the company. When the company pulls the plug, there goes the game too. Thanks to services such as
GameRanger (PC),
XLink Kai (Consoles) and some others, this could have been avoided if the game had a LAN support. For example, Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) has had it's servers taken down years ago but I was still able to play it in multiplayer with no problems. It also has single-player mode so it would be playable even if there was no multiplayer.
Two games I remember right now, that I would have liked to play were:
BREACH
I'm Not Alone
Both probably either mediocre at best or awful at worst.
