12 great delisted games you may never get to play

For some games, getting delisted – the fancy term for being removed from online marketplaces like Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Steam – may as well be a death sentence. If a beloved game exists in physical form, getting delisted isn't the end of the world, as you can still seek out a disc copy of titles. But if the game only ever existed as a download, and the means to buy or reacquire it have been cut off, that game effectively goes away, save for the precious few who kept them on their hard drives and have resolved never to delete them.
