"Was Netflix's The Witcher trying to give Cavill the boot as early as season 2? Did Borderlands 4 cut one of the previous game's most unpopular characters during development? And why is Atari making it harder to play an all-time classic on PC? It's another edition of Morning Checkpoint, Kotaku's daily roundup of gaming news and culture. Craft breweries are apparently on the decline, the surest sign yet that the millennial zeitgeist is dying. This is not a good thing. I am also part of the problem, having traded my beloved Hazy IPAs at the local bar for cheap pounders from the grocery store."
"As spotted by Rock, Paper, Shotgun, the 1999 sci-fi immersive sim classic will be delisted from PC storefronts on October 10. From that point forward, the only way to access it will be as part of the 25th anniversary remaster. The original game was just $10 to buy individually, but will cost $30 to access as part of the remaster. "Existing owners of System Shock 2 (1999) will still be able to re-download and play it from their library, but new users will no longer be able to purchase System Shock 2 (1999) as a standalone product," reads a notice from publisher Atari."
The original 1999 System Shock 2 will be delisted from PC storefronts on October 10 and will only be purchasable as part of the 25th anniversary remaster. The standalone title previously cost $10, while access through the remaster will cost $30. Existing owners will still be able to re-download and play their copies, but new users cannot purchase the standalone 1999 version. Netflix's profile for Liam Hemsworth claimed Hemsworth was first contacted about replacing Henry Cavill in 2020, creating a puzzling casting timeline. Borderlands 4 reportedly removed a previously unpopular character during development. Battlefield 6 lacks an offline playable mode, and Atari's delisting will make the classic harder and more expensive to access for new players. Craft breweries are reportedly declining while some consumers shift to cheaper mass-market beers.
