DabAByteWide: I just noticed that Way o the Samurai 4 was removed from the store, I was about to place in a review on the game about how much I enjoyed my time on that one.
Got delisted back in 2021, unfortunately both WotS 3 and 4 are gone now.
Way of the Samurai 3 at least is not so much of a loss (in my mind the weakest title of the series) but Way of the Samurai 4 is indeed a huge loss. I am happy i still got it installed, although i wonder how it comes it got removed... This is a fine game and running good too.... i see no issue.

idbeholdME: Amazon has bought the Tomb Raider franchise. Not sure if it means anything for the games, but stuff like this can shake up things a bit.

Just google it and read in your preferred source.
I think, to GoG the "threat" is currently rather low because GoG is not truly competing with Amazon. Amazon is kinda in the same "boots" comparable to Epic Games... and their strategy is almost she same: Giving away lot of free games and thus luring new customers into their platform.

While, the GoG customer-base is somewhat different, as they have another focus which is not so much about "getting free stuff" or having "a awesome community", it is focused more on the game itself.

Steam on the other hand is a big threat to Amazon, as they will grab almost any customers away from them. However, as long as the cashflow is not going any different direction, they are doomed to "accept" Steam.

I am not to afraid, i just worry Amazon "may not care" at all... so we may not see new releases here anymore.

_Auster_: I wouldn't be surprised if NIS America's entire catalogue would be at risk, since they could think "GOG doesn't sell". And it doesn't sell because they threw away the regional pricing for most of their titles on GOG, and ignore anyone that asks them about it.
They are using regional pricing but not the "cheap ones", for example Brazil and their "needs". They could worry less regarding cheap regional pricing, because the biggest customers base on GoG is from the US and Europe, it seems.

Brazil, China and whatelse... those with very "cheap regional pricing", they are already "stuck on Steam" it seems and it seems very difficult moving those customers away from Steam. Although the Chinese do not enjoy DRM a lot, they simply use a Steam-emulator... or even a crack at some point (they are used to cracking, this is totally normal for them), issues solved. Brazil is almost same mentality such as Chinese i assume, so same matters apply there.

So, yeah... GoG is currently mainly serving US and Europe-customers who might not be that critical regarding regional pricing, yet they enjoy a "clean game" (cracked stuff is not their thing). However, US offers are usually priced exactly the same (compared to other platforms)... while other nations from Europe are rather with worse price (my country for example).

I do not worry regarding delisting from NIS because their western-customer base is sufficiently strong; yet.. the conditions in general are not that great, with unknown future. It can only become better at least!

Indeed, i would enjoy to see Disgaea on GoG with good pricing too, this would put NIS into a better light and they may regain some of the currently damaged rep.

WARSAW will be delisted from GOG catalog on Sunday, September 20th, 9 PM UTC.
Polish Site says, that the Space Wolf will be removed from Steam on 12-Oct-2023.
No information about GOG, but to prevent unexpected ricochets, I'm posting it here as a warning.

Fortunately for us, the game is pretty cheap on GOG currently (-90%), so feel free to make winter supplies :)

Seems no big loss. Read the reviews before you buy it just because it's cheap.

Depending on what happens with Unity's new pricing model, it's possible all games made with Unity could be at risk of being removed.

(I really hope this doesn't happen.)

Now, it seems to be a kind of joke: "Hi all! Not to worry, we were joking/making a satirical tweet about the deletion re: Unity, and are still hard at work working on the next update". Source: Steam forums
Ticket to Ride will be delisted on all stores on Oct 3, per their announcement on another storefront. It has already been rebranded as Ticket to Ride Classic Edition
