      It was okay. Nothing exciting, but one aspect of it that I did like is that you can choose to watch your choices happen in real time after you finish a level, which - although not the smoothest - does actually make it feel like John Wick just rolled through.

    Makes me wonder if he could just rip the branding from it, alter the character a bit and stick it out again.

      While I agree with the sentiment: It won’t be killed, “just” de-listed from sale. If you buy it now, you can still p/ay it.

      Although an end-of-life plan would probably make it easier for the publishers to still sell the game after licences expire.

        Delisting a game goes against the point of game preservation. The trick of “buy it now to keep it” sounds like FOMO.

      While everyone should sign it, the campaign is about publishers that kill games that could conceivably remain working.

      De-listing is likely a result of expired licensing or similar, and I don’t think it’s feasible (or realistic) to require companies to renew licenses in perpetuity just to keep selling games.

    I “own” this on PlayStation. Will I still be able to download it after 17th?

    Edit: I just read the article and it says that we will.

    Just a heads up that if you try buying from Humble, they have no keys right now for this game. It’s very possible we’ll never get them with the impending delist.

        Yeah I tried to redeem within 2 min of buying. They are selling this without any keys in their system.

      Yeah, Humble has been spiraling, and this is one of the largest symptoms. If they’re out of stock, they shouldn’t be allowed to list the game for sale. It’s particularly bad on their Humble Choice offers, where trying to claim after Day 1 often ends up with half of the keys listed as out of stock.

        Interesting, I haven’t had that experience with Humble Choice. Sometimes I don’t redeem for a week or more and I still manage to get keys. Was there any particular game that you had this issue with?

        • I have the issue from time to time if I go and bulk redeem like 6 months of keys cause I forgot Humble existed, but I usually get an email telling me the key is ready within a day or so.

          Not sure they’ll end up getting keys for John Wick Hex sadly. We’ll see though.

            Yeah I’m considering buying it on Steam directly with the plan of refunding if I get a code from Humble.
