This site has a tag for games that get relisted, but it really needs one for games that got remastered as well. It's a bit misleading to say a game is gone when you can still buy the GOTY version.

Really, it would be nice if every listing had a 1 or 2 word tag that summarized the reason for the de-listing.

Publisher Closed

Servers Shut Down

Remastered

License Expired

TOS Violation

That sort of thing.



It's only misleading to say so if the edition that replaces it is not strictly worse in at least one axis: Botched remasters, full remakes, unrenewed licenses, ports from a worse version of the game instead of the original...

Now, if there's actually a better release of the same game, then sure it should be at least tagged clearly.
