If you want to pick it up, cheapest way is via the humblebundle sale.
Is it worth picking up before it’s removed?
John Wick Hex will be removed from sale on all platforms beginning July 17th, 2025

But remember, don’t pirate guys

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
slimerancher@lemmy.world 8 months ago
It’s on my wishlist, but don’t want to buy on full price, but also don’t want to buy for PC…
naticus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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.

Yeah I tried to redeem within 2 min of buying. They are selling this without any keys in their system.
mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
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.

Aren’t they a charity?
naticus@lemmy.world 8 months ago
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?
nogooduser@lemmy.world 8 months ago
I “own” this on PlayStation. Will I still be able to download it after 17th?

Friendly reminder to sign the StopKillingGames petition to avoid bullshit like this in the future.
czl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
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 8 months 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 8 months ago
Delisting a game goes against the point of game preservation. The trick of “buy it now to keep it” sounds like FOMO.
MrNesser@lemmy.world 8 months ago
How come it’s getting removed?
duchess@feddit.org 8 months ago
Expired movie license probably.
Psythik@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Too much work to simply swap out the assets and change the character’s name with a patch?

It’s a mystery

Likely Cause: Licensing Expiration
Prox@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Is this any good?
JackDark@lemmy.world 8 months 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.
