If you want to pick it up, cheapest way is via the humblebundle sale.
Just a heads up that if you try buying from Humble, they have no keys right now for this game. It’s very possible we’ll never get them with the impending delist.
John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025

Yeah, Humble has been spiraling, and this is one of the largest symptoms. If they’re out of stock, they shouldn’t be allowed to list the game for sale.

Interesting, I haven’t had that experience with Humble Choice. Sometimes I don’t redeem for a week or more and I still manage to get keys. Was there any particular game that you had this issue with?

Aren’t they a charity?

Yeah I tried to redeem within 2 min of buying. They are selling this without any keys in their system.

How come it’s getting removed?

Expired movie license probably.

Too much work to simply swap out the assets and change the character’s name with a patch?

Is this any good?
JackDark@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It was okay. Nothing exciting, but one aspect of it that I did like is that you can choose to watch your choices happen in real time after you finish a level, which - although not the smoothest - does actually make it feel like John Wick just rolled through.

Is it worth picking up before it’s removed?

I “own” this on PlayStation. Will I still be able to download it after 17th?

Makes me wonder if he could just rip the branding from it, alter the character a bit and stick it out again.

I’d definitely consider John Dick’s Hex

Likely Cause: Licensing Expiration
slimerancher@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s on my wishlist, but don’t want to buy on full price, but also don’t want to buy for PC…

Friendly reminder to sign the StopKillingGames petition to avoid bullshit like this in the future.

While everyone should sign it, the campaign is about publishers that kill games that could conceivably remain working.
De-listing is likely a result of expired licensing or similar, and I don’t think it’s feasible (or realistic) to require companies to renew licenses in perpetuity just to keep selling games.

People should learn to read more than the name of the petition.
Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 2 days ago
While I agree with the sentiment: It won’t be killed, “just” de-listed from sale. If you buy it now, you can still p/ay it.
Although an end-of-life plan would probably make it easier for the publishers to still sell the game after licences expire.
RiQuY@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Delisting a game goes against the point of game preservation. The trick of “buy it now to keep it” sounds like FOMO.

Why did you write „play“ like this?
