Steam users only have a limited time to pick up a sci-fi strategy game with 'Very Positive' reviews before its imminent delisting.
Black Lab Games has confirmed that Battlestar Galactica Deadlock and all of its DLC will be delisted on November 15. This gives players a very limited time to buy Battlestar Galactica Deadlock before it's gone for good, with the developer claiming it wants to "give everyone a proper heads-up to grab the game while it’s still available."
Upon its 2017 release, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock was met with decent reviews, with a solid Top Critic Average of 78 on review aggregator site OpenCritic. Critics were keen to praise its attention to detail, epic battles, and commitment to fans of the Battlestar Galactica franchise, making this a sci-fi strategy game worth playing. On Steam, the community sentiment was similar. The game enjoyed "Very Positive" reviews from players, with 88% being positive.
As revealed in an announcement on Steam, Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is set to be delisted from all platforms on November 15, alongside all of its DLC. The reasons for the delisting are now clarified by developer Black Lab Games, although it did clarify that those who buy and own the game past November 15 will still be able to play "without any restrictions," which is good news for fans of its multiplayer strategy components.
As of right now, there is no additional discount on Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, and it's unclear whether one will be granted ahead of its delisting. It currently costs $39.99 to buy on Steam, which is not exactly cheap, but for the Battlestar Galactica fans who don't want to miss out on the title, this is the last chance to grab it. It's worth noting that Battlestar Galactica Deadlock was actually given away for free a few months ago, but that deal is long passed.
Steam delistings are always frustrating, especially when it comes to long-running franchises like Battlestar Galactica, which may get even more fans in the future who want to try out its previous offerings. Just recently, a classic horror game was delisted from Steam without warning, highlighting the issues with the fact that this is possible, that games can disappear without fans getting a chance to add them to their library. Games are delisted for various reasons, the most common of which is expired licensing. Why Battlestar Galactica Deadlock is being delisted remains unknown.
