Community ManagerHey @xzerokps from time to time older games may be removed from sale.
I am happy to pass your feedback on to the team in relation to Syndicate.

I am disappointed in the removal of Syndicate 2012 for PC. It was on my list of games to buy, after I saw videos of it on YouTube.
One of the many great things about PC gaming is the ability to buy and play old games that go back many years, even decades ago. This is why it is sad to see a PC game removed and no longer available.
Wow - I just came on to buy 3 more copies as gifts - as it has great coop online. I cant believe its delisted?!
@Giganticube the game was indeed removed from sale. It used SecuROM online as a copy protection and the authentication servers (which weren't administered by EA) are starting to close. To be honest, i am amazed that it didn't happen sooner. I hope that EA will remove the copy protection and bring it back for sale, but it will prolly take some time.
@feline789 well, on the other hand PC has no secondary market. On PC is it very easy to eliminate a game just like that - remove it from digital stores and when there are no retail copies left anywhere in the world - a game is dead. The end. And after 9 years there surely aren't any.
You can still get physical copies of the game for xbox 360 on ebay or whatever.
I'll never forgive Valve for what they have done to PC game market but this is a topic for another discussion...
But guys, what if this https://twitter.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1457853679340503045
isn't just a fake rumour and the game series is Syndicate?
If it can be considered "series". And if "fans loved back in the day". Did they?
Who knows 🤷♂️
edit: I found out the tweet was about Fight Night

- @EA_Darko Sure, but the 1993 game (That I loved) you can still buy and I might again ,:D
but if my Math is right it's the 19 years newer version you delisted... Was it the wrong one XD- EA_Darko
Hey @PercentAphid042 it was 2012's Syndicate that was removed from the store.

Hey I paid full price for this game and just came to replay it and - it's gone. Can I have my purchased game please, or my money back?

Hey @manc4 if you own the game it should still be there in your My Game Library, I checked mine just now and can see the game is there.
DarkoHi Darko,
Thanks for the reply. I wonder, do you have the game installed?
It was in my library but not installed but it's now nowhere to be found, as though it never existed.
I was meaning to replay this after so long. Is there any way to get it back?
Thanks,
M4
