Have you ever booted up your PC or checked your phone, only to find out a massive corporation literally wiped your favorite game from existence? Today, we're looking at the absolute most mind-numbingly stupid reasons publishers have permanently deleted video games.
From Blizzard forcing a mandatory 30GB downgrade to overwrite an 18-year-old classic, to a literal judge ordering the physical execution and burial of a multimillion-dollar Xbox 360 game, we explore the unhinged corporate greed that killed some truly great titles. Throw in Disney nuking studios right before Thanksgiving, and you've got a recipe for absolute disaster. Dealing with the Empire is never a good idea!
