====Result==== Depending on the title, these games will either have no capability of receiving new installs, specifically only seen with the mobile releases, or merely being incapable of being newly purchased, such as the console and PC ports. Consumers who have previously bought or installed the games are still able to re-download their games. Consumers who have re-downloaded or installed these games before delisting and never uninstalled them should continue to retain access to their games. However, it is plausible and historically has happened for certain delisted titles to become permanently incapable of being run. Releases such as ''Angry Birds GO!'' depend on access to a server just to run matches and access crucial assets to launch the game<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/angrybirds/comments/nk8u3d/angry_birds_go_version_190_through_1139_doesnt/|title=Angry Birds Go version 1.9.0 through 1.13.9 doesn't work, because it has to download game files, but the servers are probably down. Is there a way to download those files manually?|author=u/[deleted]|date=2021-05-24|work=Reddit|access-date=2025-04-07|archive-url=https://archive.ph/mfELZ|archive-date=2025-04-07|url-status=live}}</ref>. Some titles such as ''Angry Birds Epic'' store and access their score assets exclusively in Rovio's servers<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/angrybirds/comments/132umy1/ok_seriously_we_need_someone_to_make_a_private/|title=Ok seriously, we need someone to make a private server for Angry Birds Epic.|date=2023-04-29|author=u/SergejPS|work=Reddit|access-date=2025-04-07|archive-url=https://archive.ph/62Wtz|archive-date=2025-04-07|url-status=live}}</ref>. Rovio keeps Angry Birds Epic's servers alive to this day, even though the game has been delisted for years by now, but in an event of the servers shutting down it would leave Angry Birds Epic in a state incapable of being run ever again. Additionally, older installs may also just stop functioning, since operating system updates can remove programming libraries that games depend on, so for example, a consumer may not be capable of transferring their install of ''Angry Birds Rio'' from their device running Android 3 to one running Android 10 or later. PC ports are also not immune to this problem either since Windows 11's compatibility features are diminishing,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://splicedonline.com/why-old-pc-games-not-working-on-windows-11/|title=Why old PC games not working on Windows 11?|author=SplicedOnline Team|date=2024-10-30|work=Spliced Online|access-date=2025-04-07|archive-url=https://archive.ph/r0S1Y|archive-date=2025-04-07|url-status=live}}</ref> so access may soon only be accessible to tech-savvy consumers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/zneuok/windows_11_update_has_caused_older_games_to_be/|title=Windows 11 update has caused older games to be unplayable.
