Notable incidents

Unreal & Unreal Tournament

In [insert date], owners of various entries within the Unreal/Unreal Tournament series had their licenses effectively expired and thus unable to launch or install these games. (Editor's note: add a screenshot of UT being grayed out in the launcher!)

A few years later, some entries in the series would make it's way to the Internet Archive for users to freely install, however not all delisted games have been re-published onto the platform.
