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!
This page is dedicated towards providing a communal list for users to submit potential articles to feature on the wiki, and to give editors inspiration on what pages they might want to add to the wiki. If you create an article based on an entry from this list, or see that someone else has done so, please make sure to delete the row from this page in order to prevent confusion.
 
Sources should be inserted within the 'refs' section of the table. If using the visual editor, take advantage of '<nowiki/>'''insert reference'''<nowiki/>' via ''''ctrl + shift + k'''<nowiki/>' so that the sources are quick to add to future articles. If using the source editor, feel free to cpy and paste the formatting from other correctly formatted references on the page. The more sources you include with an article idea, the more likely it is that others will pick the article idea up and run with it, soplease attempt to include a good variety of sources!

This section covers events that can lead to an anti-consumer incident. This primarily will be from a company buyout or IPO occurring, but this is a good way to be prepared. This will follow the same intended format as was defined above.

|[[Nexus Mods]], [[Chosen]]
|[[itch.io]], [[Night School Studios]], [[Netflix]]<!-- I was unsure if I should include this incident in the existing row for Netflix; there's multiple companies involved, and some ambiguity over who is responsible for this incident. -V -->
|In June 2025, the relatively new company Chosen purchased Nexus Mods. Despite claims from Chosen to not pull anti-consumer moves, users are worried.
|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."
