Alien came bundled with Aliens but it seems AvP was separate, presumably because of the Predator factor.
Ah, thanks!

Why is it that most of the time, these companies never announce ahead of time (maybe a month or at least a few weeks) that their games are getting delisted? You would think they would at least want to get a few extra last minute sales or something.
I should have bought it if I knew it was going to be delisted soon
Confession: I bought AvP2010 before I knew it was getting delisted. I know it's mediocre, but I figure I can get ~$1.30's worth of enjoyment out of it.
It depends on how the licensing deals were structured. May be affected by things like the actors' licenses that are separate from the overall IP.

I guess that would make sense. I can't imagine Sega losing the Predator IP but I wonder if that's the case if it affects the release of Far Blood Dragon where Michael Bein voices a character and his likeness is used for cutscenes.
AvP 2010 is a great game. Play it just for the marines and predator campaigns. No one plays it online anymore.
It's not like they'd still be available in retail stores years after their launch. Also, people who already bought it still have it.

Actors generally aren't contracted on a temporary, licence-based basis.
So, are AvP, Aliens, and Alien all different for licenses? Someone explain it to dumb me.
Yes. Game content is never removed.

There was at least one case of games being removed from your Steam library, but that was an online title that had its servers shut down. Dunno exactly which one it was but its one of the Order of War titles that I believe has a single player campaign.
Hmmm. So, I would guess they lost the Predator license or something involving Fox. Because if they just lost the Predator license why would they take down Colonial Marines?
I think Sega took a leaf out of Acti's book and gave up AvP earlier than intended for a partial refund, and similarly it negotiated a deal to receive a partial refund on the cost of the Alien licence by offering to give up Aliens in particular, with Alien being kept around for the sake of Isolation -- hence both games disappearing at the same time.
The Wii U version of Aliens CM will forever be one of those great what ifs in gaming.
It was always going to be the worst version of a terrible 1/10 game
Unless this is some kind of joke regarding what they said pre-release
Are Alien and Aliens separate ips?
though AVP 2's final boss was more fun than the one in AVP 2010
Hard to keep track of all these games being delisted.
Does anyone have a list of the games that are delisted?
And that's why I support the retail games market whenever I (financially) can. I don't care if they were good enough to stay or not, stuff like this shouldn't happen and I should be able to buy a game 5 or 10 years after its release if I want to.
No game should be pulled from the market. Not even the shittiest one.
