A delisting notice in Steam for the original version of System Shock 2. It reads: System Shock 2 (1999) will be delisted from PC platforms on October 10, 2025. Existing owners of System Shock 2 (1999) will still be able to re-download and play it from their library, but new users will no longer be able to purchase System Shock 2 (1999) as a standalone product. At the time of delisting, System Shock 2 (1999) will be made available with the purchase of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster. Both new and existing owners of System Shock 2: 25th Anniversary Remaster will be able to access System Shock 2 (1999) from their library at no additional cost. If you have any questions, please reach out to our support team (support@atari.com).
This is why I'm not generally in favour of remasters as they tend to lead to the erasure of originals, or at best, they are relegated to becoming DLC for newer versions.
This is not preservation, just a cynical cash grab, ironically by a company that is not even the original it claims to be.
