Update: A representative for 2K says neither OlliOlli World nor Rollerdrome were included in Private Division's 2024 sale to an unknown buyer, and that under 2K Games.
Original Story:
Effortless skating games 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:OlliOlli World and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rollerdrome have both been suddenly delisted from Steam and the Xbox Store fꦫollowing publisher Pri💖vate Division's sale to an unidentified buyer in 2024.
OlliOlli World has also been removed from the US Nintendo Switch storefront🔯, though it's apparently ob♑tainable . As of writing, the glossy, 2022 action games are also on PlayStation.
But, since OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome's disappearances have been a gradual, furtive process over the past few days, e🦋ven their availability on PlayStation might chang🎉e soon. Not that anyone knows why.
Former Private Division owner Take-Two has been elusive over the past few months. Later reporting revealed that OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome's developer Roll7 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:wasᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ dissolvedౠ ahead of Private Division's sale, though Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick insisted in that "we haven't shuttered anything." In 2023, Zelnick 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:earned $42 million.
Around that same time, Rollerdrome developer 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Anisa Sanusi told fans to "๊please pirate it because none of us work at the company that owns [Rollerdrome] anymore," clarifying in later that "the studio I loved working at no longer exists, and my friends and former colleagues were laid off."
While Take-Two still has not revealed Private Division's buyer, the publisher's titles will be absorbed by a group of former Annapurna Interactive staff, who 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:resigned in 2024 after feuding with the Stray publisher's owner.
Other Private Division games, including the celestial RPG and breakout title , continue to be available on storefronts, as are Roll7 games released by other publishers. In any case, OlliOlli Wo🐼rld and Rollerdrome now serve as 🦂uncomfortable reminders that even the best digital-only games can easily vanish if a fickle owner wants them to.
