10 Video Games That Were Pulled From Digital Store Shelves (And Why)

10. DuckTales Remastered

Gorgeous little platformer DuckTales Remastered was released on a variety of systems towards the end of 2013, receiving favourable reviews across the board, and - due to the popularity of the brand - presumably selling quite well.

But then, a whopping six years later, something strange happened.

In August 2019, publisher Capcom randomly informed players that the game was going to be removed from digital storefronts within a matter of days, meaning that Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Steam users would be forced to hunt down a physical copy if they wanted to play the game in the future.

In its blog post, Capcom didn't provide an exact reason why DuckTales was about to fly away, but many people assumed that licensing issues were to blame.

In a final twist in the tail, Capcom later announced that the game was coming quack - sorry, back - to digital storefronts in March 2020, and once again, they failed to provide even a brief explanation as to why this whole debacle happened in the first place.
