Worlds.com filed suit against NCSoft for copyright infringement on Christmas Eve. Two patents filed in 2000 by Worlds.com involving scalable chat and enabling users to interact with each other in virtual space are all infringed upon by NCSoft's games(Including City of Heroes, Aion, Tabula Rasa, Guild Wars, etc).
From Xfire: "It's been estimated that roughly half of the video games ever released on the market can no longer be downloaded or purchased. Whether this is exactly correct is not the point. Rather, we think that either way, the video game industry, as a whole, has done a terrible job at preserving video games and making older titles available to play for future generations."
You can play all of these games still lol. The headline is just misleading. Funny is that there is not one game in the list that you really can't play anymore due to it being online only games.
Its not about games you can't play. Its about games you can't officially buy anywhere.
Who needs to buy these games anyway? Most of them are average at best and won't really be missed.
It says buy, not play though. You can't purchase Deadpool or the Simpsons game anymore. Unless you have a 360 for the simpsons or a physical copy of deadpool, or purchased it before it was delisted.
Look at his comment. It's from 9 hours ago. Article goes back 4 hours. Title might have been changed after realising the mistake
One you actually legit cannot play AT ALL is Noby Noby Boy. I miss turning my brain off and messing around in that game, was so psyched to re-download it when i rebought a ps3 slim, but you cant, even if it's in your downl library, along with a few other obscure PS3 games i had.
I would replace Transformers Devastation with War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron tho.
Transformers Devastation was good but not as good as Fall and War of Cybertron they should be on the list. SH 2 I can play any time I want since it came free in a $10 Xbox I bought used. The Simpsons Arcade I have on my PS3 surprised the Xmen Arcade game is not on this list or the Turtles arcade game either.
I had the X-Men arcade game on my 360. I don't know if Xbox Live is still a thing or not, and of it is, I don't know of they still sell X-Men. But it was deinitely on Xbox Live at some point.
If you had X-Men before you can redownload it from your transaction history on the 360 Microsoft did not castrate the 360 from online. That is how I was able to redownload the old TMNT arcade game to my 360 you can't play it on XB1 or Series X but you can still access it for sure on the 360.
HPP: Continuing our rankings of superhero games of the past three decades, here are our rankings for the top superhero video games of the 2000s.
It might be a new decade, but I’m going to make the same old mistakes and try to predict what I think will happen in free-to-play gaming over the next calendar year. Joining me on this descent into madness will be Q and Mike, who’s choices on my predictions will be added after they’re made on the Free-to-Play Podcast...
For untalented and desperate companies!!g'bye worlds.com and i hope you guys have a blast when Blizz tears you to shreds.
patent trolls are the scum of this century
What ever happened to making money by making and then patenting a product? Is the new way to do things to patent something that is already in wide use then sit on it and spring the lawsuit?
That's a rhetorical question.
Ya bull, they really have to reform this sort of policy. They should make it so you actually have to make the product before one can patent the product.
