Unlike other pages on this wiki, this page is dedicated towards providing a backlog for users to update with potential incidents to cover in the future on the wiki. If you have covered an incident within this backlog, please make sure to delete the row from this page in order to prevent confusion. Additionally, all sources should be inserted within the 'refs' section of the table, and take advantage of '<nowiki/>'''insert reference'''<nowiki/>' via ''''ctrl + shift + k'''<nowiki/>' so that the sources are quick to add to ~~the article~~. Please attempt to include a variety of sources!

|[[itch.io]], [[Night School Studios]], [[Netflix]]

|In September 2024, users who purchased Oxenfree on itch.io were warned that the game was going to be pulled from the platform on October 1st. Consumers would not be able to download the installers after this date, so they would lose access unless they had them backed up. Users speculated that Netflix, the parent company of the development studio, had ordered the move; however, no response from Netflix or the developers was ever published. This is particularly notable because it is against itch.io's terms of service: "Users shall retain a license to this content even after the content is removed from the Service."
