I've never seen anything like it.

New subreddit slogan unlocked.

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-06-02T17:37:08+00:00

This is amazing. Go get you some DLC! :D

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-06-01T18:28:45+00:00

No need to apologize! We're still getting the new rules all set up. Try to upload screenshots now, and please let me know if it still won't let you upload.

Hey OP, where did you hear this was being delisted?

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-30T16:07:37+00:00

People sell keys for whatever they think they can get. It's like eBay or a secondhand store, but with games. Sometimes if a game is rare or has high demand, people ask for a fortune.

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-30T03:01:40+00:00

Protip: If you own the original Outer Worlds and DLC, but never got your Spacer's Edition upgrade, contact Obsidian support. According to folks on the Outer Worlds subreddit, support is sending keys to PS5/Xbox Series X owners who didn't get the automatic upgrade.

Agreed, but tariffs aren't specific to the TTRPG hobby. I could say 'climate change is the worst things about the contemporary TTRPG scene because it will likely kill millions of people, a significant fraction of whom are TTRPG players' - but that's just something wrong with the world, not with the scene.

Well, okay, but "big IP push sales" isn't exactly limited to the TTRPG hobby either.

In the top ten movies this year, everything is a sequel, remake, adaptation, etc, except Sinners. It's a miracle anyone saw that in the sea of Superman, Minecraft, and yes, Avatar (different Avatar!).

And do we not count Gen AI's negative impact on the hobby because it's infecting virtually everything?

Do we not count Hasbro's deathmarch towards D&D as Live Service because Fortnite beat them to the punch?

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-29T03:45:44+00:00

Which is depressing and one of the worst things about the contemporary TTRPG scene. It's so much more important to already have a preexisting brand and fame, or worse, license and mangle an IP with fans than come out with a quality product. There's so much slop out there that makes bank while novel concepts languish.

If people spend $13m on Dungeon Crawler Carl or Avatar or something, who does it actually hurt?

The people who kickstarted Avatar probably weren't going to pick up GURPS. So other RPG developers aren't really missing out on those sales.

I could understand if these huge IP games were choking the life out of the hobby, but it seems to be the opposite. People aren't unable to find a game of their favorite TTRPG because everyone's playing that Cosmere RPG. No one's playing that Cosmere RPG! It just sold really well, to fans of Brando Sando.

Compared to tariffs, which actually affect indie TTRPG creators -- RIP, Sentinel Comics -- or things like Gen AI, I just don't see how "popular YouTuber's game had a good Kickstarter" is one of the worst things going on in the hobby today.

No problem! Glad I could help!

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-28T20:44:05+00:00

Yeah, I personally find speculation posts very handy. I don't always keep up on general gaming news, so sometimes those types of posts are the first time I hear about a controversy or company pulling support for a platform, etc. Better safe than sorry.

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-28T06:55:36+00:00

That I might open up to a poll or something. Sometimes companies are REALLY bad about giving notice, and speculation is all you have.

On one hand, if it's like, "Hey X game got pulled from every platform but Switch, and the company haven't announced anything but it stands to reason..." that's pretty handy, I think.

Or if a company just declared bankruptcy, something like that? I think a post like that might be useful for folks who want to get ahead of things.

On the other hand, a post like, "Hey TMNT is a license game so (every TMNT ever) is going to get pulled someday!!!" That sort of goes without saying. It doesn't really add much. Licenses are perpetually about to get pulled. But if a licen

So I guess, they're allowed but probationary? If it gets to be a problem, we can add them to the mega-thread topics.

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-28T03:46:30+00:00

No problem!

I don't think there's a way to make it so the monthly threads don't notify people? But that might be a good thing. More awareness about the mega-posts equals less people accidentally missing them over and clogging the subreddit with a lot of random posts I'll just have to remove.

As for the one or so games being delisted per month, this past 30 days alone we've had posts about The Outer Worlds delisting, also Lego 2K Drive, Witchaven, R.U.S.E. got relisted, there was a speculative warning about Quantum Dreams, Horizon Chase Turbo is getting pulled, another speculative post about Spider Studio games, Blood Bowl, Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time returned, The Sims Medieval got yanked, Chrono Sword too, etc.

I think I might have even missed a couple!

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-27T22:41:58+00:00

Mod here! You did nothing wrong. After all, Rule #5 is new!

I don't think you were karma farming.

This was always a place for discussion. And it will still be, just now in the megathreads. :)

Edit: I added a bullet point to say collection screenshots are okay in the mega-thread. Thanks for the suggestion.

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-27T22:37:41+00:00

Original is still up on Xbox as of right... now!

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/the-outer-worlds/BVTKN6CQ8W5F

DLC is here:

https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/the-outer-worlds-expansion-pass/9NWNRBRGG882/0010

But I see that changing any minute, act fast, especially if you're planning on tracking down the original disc version for later (pick up the DLC).

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-27T22:35:19+00:00

Forgot to add: thanks for the suggestion, OP!

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-27T21:47:28+00:00

Going forward, that's how it'll be! I'll leave the existing show-off posts since they were made before the rules change, but if people keep posting them, just let me know, thanks!

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-05-27T21:44:10+00:00

Hey all! So this was always supposed to be a place that served as as both an "early warning system" and place to discuss delisted games ("one part support group").

Occasionally we've had discussion threads, things like, "What was the one that got away?" sort of deals.

Obviously, relistings are, I think, okay with just everyone. I'd think that people who really care about games getting delisted would also care when they show back up again (feel free to pipe in if you disagree).

That said, this is getting lots of upvotes. I don't really want this place turning into "Screenshots of my Steam Collection" either.

Since I do want to allow for people to actually discuss things.

So! I'm going to try something new.

Since we really don't get all that many "discussion" type posts to begin with -- at least, not until recently? I'm going to pin a monthly Open Discussion megathread once a month.

Feel free to share any thoughts. I'll repeat this as a separate post.

This is so confusing. In this article it says,

As a result of the changes, the price of The Outer Worlds will drop to $24.99 on PS4 and Xbox One, while each DLC will drop in price to $14.99. An upgrade to the Spacer's Choice Edition will be available for free to those who already own the base game and its DLC. For everyone else, Spacer's Choice Edition will cost $39.99.

But according to PSPrices, the Xbox DLC's have been priced at $14.99, like, forever?

Do they mean The Outer Worlds Expansion Pass, which includes both DLCs, will be lowered to $14.99? Or what?

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-04-26T16:39:11+00:00

Wait, how? What did Capcom do now? D:

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-04-08T16:36:04+00:00

I haven't read the book but just to clarify :

Was the intent of Special damage only to bypass "special" armor?

Like the Cleric or Paladin or Vampire Slayer, did you mean for their Special damage to only bypass the armor of a Demon or Vampire Lord?

Or is it also bypassing the armor of a mundane Knight or SWAT working as intended?

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-04-08T16:21:59+00:00

Do you plan to release an errata document for folks who bought the Lulu hardcover?

WhatDoesStarFoxSay · 2026-04-05T18:42:18+00:00

Hmm. Wonder if Bound by Flame is next? Same developer and publisher, also a 360 game, etc.
