Online Store That Promised Games Were ‘Yours To Keep Forever’ Is Shutting Down

Legacy Games is a clearinghouse for all sorts of games you probably haven’t heard of. The online storefront and launcher provides deals on bundles of lesser-known indie and casual games that people can download for cheap. “Get up to 15 games in a single pack,” reads the marketing copy on the home page. “Hidden object, match 3, puzzles and more! Starting at $14.99. No subscription needed.” Over 1 million customers have been served. In the biggest, boldest letters of all, the site states, “Amazing games. Incredible value. Yours to keep forever.” There should now be an asterisk next to “forever” that says, “if you download them before February 28, 2027.”

That’s when the Legacy Games online storefront is shutting down for good. As VGC reports, the announcement was made on the site’s FAQ page this week. Game-of-the-month deals will end on December 1. Disc download codes, which the company also sells, will no longer work after December 31. Everything else goes offline on February 28, 2027. That’s the last day for people who have claimed games but potentially uninstalled them to re-download them and keep them forever before they’re gone forever.

“Download and install your purchased games through the Legacy Games Launcher as soon as you can, and no later than February 28, 2027,” the FAQ reads . “Once they’re installed, you can play them through the launcher any time. ” All of users’ existing points, rewards, and membership perks will expire at the end of the year as well.
