Playdead’s puzzle platformer Limbo<\/a> came out in 2010, and Inside<\/a> followed in 2016, so the odds are pretty good that if you have any particular interest in playing them, you already have. But if you’ve simply been waiting 15 years for the right moment to strike, I’m here to tell you that the clock is ticking\u2014at least if you want to buy them on GOG\u2014because both games will be removed from the storefront<\/a> on July 17.<\/p>\n

A reason for the takedown hasn’t been provided at this point, but there’s speculation in the replies to the announcement that it’s fallout from the legal dispute between Playdead and co-founder Dino Patti<\/a>, who left the studio after the release of Inside in 2016. Earlier this year, Playdead threatened legal action against Patti for his alleged “unauthorized use of Playdead’s trademarks and copyrighted works,” and according to an 80 Level<\/a> report the studio followed through on that threat in June.<\/p>\n
