Capcom is preparing to take down three of its games from Steam on the 8th of May. In the era of digital dominance, it's not uncommon for games to vanish from online stores, rendering them unobtainable. Like many others, the renowned Japanese game developer, Capcom, is also parting ways with some of its creations.

Although Capcom's games usually remain available for purchase due to their single-player nature that eliminates server and licensing complications, there are instances where titles are withdrawn. Earlier this year, the Xbox marketplace witnessed the removal of Age of Booty, a game published by Capcom, leaving potential buyers empty-handed.

The same fate awaits Dark Void, Dark Void Zero, and Flock as they face delisting from Steam on May 8th at 5:30pm PT. Gamers interested in these titles have a window of opportunity to acquire them before they disappear. Fortunately, all three games are currently offered at a discounted rate, with Dark Void priced at $4.99, and both Dark Void Zero and Flock at $3.04 each.

List of Capcom Games Being Removed on May 8th

• Dark Void - $4.99
• Dark Void Zero - $3.04
• Flock - $3.04

The reason behind Capcom's decision to delist these games remains undisclosed. The gaming community speculates that the removal could be tied to the DRM mechanisms used in these titles. Interestingly, the Xbox backward compatible version of Dark Void is not facing delisting, possibly due to differences in DRM compared to the Steam version. With time running out, Steam users are advised to secure these Capcom gems before they vanish from the platform.

Unlike some companies like EA, Capcom does not maintain a public record of its delisted games, leaving fans unaware until the last moment. EA, in contrast, provides comprehensive information on upcoming and past delisted titles, allowing gamers ample time for revisits. While adopting a similar transparency would benefit fans, Capcom's infrequent delistings may not prioritize such practices within the company.
