You will own NOTHINGYou will be HAPPYShit like this is why I buy on GOG
>>737008326Can we blame dukat for this?
>>737008326If you bought the game on Steam, you can still play it.
>>737008326WHATWHY
>Starfleet Academy was such a flop (400k views overall for every episode [10eps]) they have to reevaluate the francise.kek>>737008326This is the only game where I regret not choosing the story only mode. The gamepay was horrible. The story was ok at best. Also you can keep it if yoi bought it but it's a shit game.
>>737008326It's still in your library idiot kiddo, "delisted" means it's not for sale anymore.
>>737008326This is why you should always check the games at risk of removal steam curator regularly to make sure you get stuff before its gone
>>737008613ST license expired
mold man save us...
>>737008653>>737008541Yeah until Steam dies
wtf the game is not even 2 years old
I played this game and I liked it. I was a bit shocked when I saw the post game stats and realized I played it completely differently than everyone else.
>>737008661this seems incredibly shortsighteddidn't this game only come out like 2 years ago?
What are other games that'd be prime delisting bait?
>>737008628Better off dead than letting it stay in the hands of kurtzman.
>>737008779it makes sense when you realize they hate star trek fans and ripping them off is a win
>>737008702>until multibillion dollar platform with a monopolistic chokehold it doesn't even ever need to flex with all of the entertainment habit and household electronics data of every pc gamer worldwide dieskek, you'll go first for sure
why did they kill Star Trek brosautistic nerds would have watched that shit forever if they just didn't fuck with it
>Watching DS9 for the first time>Enjoying almost every episode>Look up some reviews for individual episodes written two decades ago online>Everyone says the episodes suckMaybe this fanbase was always rotten?
>>737008963Like with every media, shareholders and rich stupid people though they need watering down [thing] so more people would be interested. And as always it backfired.
>>737008963Ratings and movie sales were spiraling into the toilet during Enterprise to the point that Activision sued and won on the grounds that the brand had been so mismanaged that they couldn't make a profit on Trek games anymore, then the JJ reboot made megabucks which means every retarded exec thinks they need to copy the JJ model of flashy overdesigned bullshit with no soul.
>>737009081>>737008946>>737008801Why you spamming
>>737008963really weird people were in charge, not just Kurtzmann, eitherthe vibe for like a decade has been that the IP is being held hostage, just go watch the old interviews they did for Picard - it's like a corporate sanitzation but... weird, like some fujoshi is right behind the cast saying if they don't kiss by the end she's gonna kill herself or some shit
>>737008326There are no good reasons why this game is getting delisted. Only legal ones.
>>737009021"First two seasons suck" for DS9 was always in hindsight once the Dominion arc kicked off. At the time they were solid, partly because they tossed in all the good ideas they originally came up with for TNG while letting TNG have the dregs for season 7.
>>737009127captcha broke the site, hopefully 4chan is on its last legs
>... And when the deal runs out in two years, we'll de-list it!
>>737008963>successful thing has niche appeal>we need to make it less niche to capture broader audiencemany such cases
>>737008326>Shit like this is why I buy on GOGThis type of shit happens all the time on both stores.
>>737008702
>>737008326>doing it AFTER the saleSo they're just stupid?
>>737008326>released three years agowhat in the fuck? what sort of licensing is this?
>>737008926>its against steam ToS to give away your account in a will after you die>once everyone who owns it dies the game will be lost forever
>>737008326The game was released in 2024.Why in the fuck would they even make the game if they can only get a license for two years? That's completely retarded.
>>737008926Every company and service that exists will die. Only question is when. Valve will die, Google will die, Apple and Microsoft will die. Only an idiot doesn't make plans for when they go away.
>>737008963Nobody nose
Star trek is dead just accepted and buy the older titles on dvd so that you can watch them whenver you want
>>737009684Why make plans when you will be long dead before any of them?
>>737008963They couldn't make "good" star trek even if they wanted to. TOS and TNG writing teams had a bunch of veteran sci fi writers with decades of experience. Who's gonna do that now? Patrick Tomlinson?The nepobaby scourge in the entertainment industry has created a competency crisis that gets worse every time there's a writers strike and more of the last remaining veterans retire
>>737009021DS9 season 1 and 2 were airing at the same time as TNG Season 6 and 7.DS9 has a ROUGH start compared to that.Every episode in Season 1 or 2 is a coinflip between good and bad. From season 3 on, they dedicate more time to it because TNG is over and the quality goes WAY up.Compare this to Voyager which has a SUPER strong first season and slowly starts to shit the bed over time.
>>737008628>Starfleet Academywho asked for this
>>737009562Limited time makes the license cheaper, so they plan on getting enough sales at launch to make a profit. It was never intended to be good, just a cheap buck.
>>737008326Was it good?
>>737008963For the same reason they killed Star Wars. They don't want the previous fanbase of those universes to exist because they don't want their primary demographic to have any easy ways to unite.
>>737010023wtf is that young bazz??
I havent watched any of the new star trek since the movies. Are they doing alternate timelines shit again? I saw they had Pike, Spock, and Kirk. Why? Also, why is the academy shit set way in the future?
>>737010023I did.
Damn, never bothered to pick it up. Guess I have no choice but to pirate it.
>>737008702I don't really buy that many games nowadays, and I pirate almost everything I want to play, but the day Steam dies is the day I start piratinng 100% of my games.
>>737008326>less than 24 months that's insane
>>737008653>>737008628>>737008541>it's ok when valve does itGoid li'l valvecucks
>>737008963>autistic nerds would have watched that shit forever if they just didn't fuck with itTjis is WHY it was killed fyi.Those in charge now are deeply antiwhite. Hate (you), hate your hobbies.They want to ruin it all.
>>737008326I'm glad I bought it. They could've done without the TRICORDER 6 KLINGON SCROTES minigames but it was a fun enough little adventure
>>737013297Ah yes, like the pro-white and pro-fascist Trek of the old days.
>>737009562It had a 1 year exclusivity deal with Epic. I've been noticing more developers/publishers delisting their games in short time frames to boost their games. The games generally are dogshit and don't sell well so they buy a short license and they'll make more money than the game's lifetime sales on FOMO because of retards that need delisted games. Limited Run Games does this a lot. The developers for this Star Trek game are practically jewish in that they waited until after a 80% sale to announce it was being delisted.
You did get the Kumari in STO, right?
>>737009117>wow these nerds will watch anything we make>lets make something to rope in a larger audienceEvery. Single. Franchise.
>>737013823I haven't played STO since I finished the DS9 expansion.
>>737008451No because that would imply he did something wrong
>>737010023Literally nobody. They hate Startrek fans.
>>737010023Kurtzman. He wanted Prodigy but him cashing the checks instead of the Hagemans.
>>737008326>released with zero graphics options>made my crappy old GPU jump to 100% usage immediately with graphics that just did not deserve that sort of strain>added graphics options instead of properly optimising the thing, so you could use slightly less GPU in exchange for making the game look even worseThe real crime was it being a big wordy dialogue choices matter game with absolutely no way to skip cutscenes OR dialogue. If you wanted to replay any part of it you had to sit through it all to completion all over again.I wanted to like it and give it a fair go but the game did not want me to play it.
>store stops selling gamewhy would I care again
TNG got good when Riker grew a beardDS9 got good when Sisko shaved his headVoyager got good when Harry Kim scores Harry Kim never scored
>>737010023All I know about this is that the captain sits in a very retarded way which pisses me off.
>>737008326>Star Trek: ?
>>737010023I read a comic based on this today. I didn't understand the intro blurb. It was very bad. Do they get to say "shit" in the show like they do in the comic?
>>737008926yeah if steam would actually go kaput and no other company would buy it means there's way bigger things to worry about than videogames
>>737008702Okay so I have 20-30 years.
>>737014950Then why even make it Star Trek? Why can't they just make an original series that no one will watch instead?
Why didnt you buy it last week when it was discounted?
>>737021225Because nobody wants to play this piece of shit. If it was actually a good game they would've renewed the license since it would still be selling.
>>737009562I'm sure some docs spilt about how the terms of Star Trek licences are incredibly limited and granular as to what you can have I'd assume devs paid for bare minimum knowing all the sales would be in the first few years.
>>737008451Dukat did nothing wrong
>>737013823Waiting for a 25% Zen sale and then a 35% bundle sale after that.
>>737013207Valve didn't delist the game, the publisher did.
>>737008326No. Good. Star. Trek. Games.
>>737021225Because I have literally never heard of this game until now
ok
>>737008326>delistedWTF, right after they pulled Bridge Commander off Steam, too! (Again.)I really hope the current rights holders can clear these issues up, and return the games properly on Steam.>>737021225>Why didnt you buy it last week when it was discounted?How was I supposed to know! Although I played the game when it was new, on Epic, I was thinking about getting on Steam, too, if the price was ever right. How much did it go for?
>>737022812Seem like a fair move. Account wide unlock on Preferential Targeting and Beam Overload extender is nice to have. They kind of fuck over the vulcan ship by making a Sci Destroyer, sadly.
>>737019332They say shit and a lot of other modern lingo in it.
>>7370253425 bucks and I dont think Bridge Commander was ever on steam, its on gog. Bridge Crew was on steam
>>737026830>Bridge Crew was on steamAh, you are right, I got the names mixed up.>5 bucksDamn, I would have bought it for that, sure...
I'm guessing it won't be long before the rest of the Star Trek games get pulled too then. Very dead franchise, Paramount and Alex Kurtzman have utterly obliterated it. Worse than what Disney has done to Star Wars at this point.
>>737028309That is a possibility, sadly. But on the other hand, they could also pull a kind of Warhammer Classics stunt, and bring them all back.It really depends on how the rightsholders start shaping up the future of Star Trek. We'll likely get more news about it very soon.
>>737027840Yeah when a licensed game is on a deep sale I would pick it up in the future because more than likely its going to be delisted
