Bootlicker indeed.

Who are the 99 other companies? Which games have they taken away?

And that’s only PC games.

Looks like some of those are games that were cancelled, some were online multiplayer games that had the servers shutdown, some were simply removed from the Microsoft Store and some were single player games with always online DRM for which they shut the servers down. So it’s not all super scummy nonsense

Taking away a game you bought because the game was intentionally made to rely on a server is always scummy behavior.

With the possible exception of games that were canceled, those are all examples of super scummy nonsense.

Oh no! Not Microsoft Bingo! That’s a list of D list games nobody has ever heard of that all shutdown years ago. I don’t think the world would be a better place if the devs of Radical Heights, a free to play arena shooter that was launched and shutdown a month later in 2018 were forced to give their game out to everyone for free after.
