It\u2019s no loss to gaming but it\u2019s not right for any game to just disappear (Assemble Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Almost all of the Leisure Suit Larry games are about to be removed from Steam and strangely it may have something to do with Codemasters\u2019 troubles.<\/p>\n

The point \u2018n\u2019 click graphic adventure genre has long since ceased to be a mainstream concern for major publishers. There\u2019s still the occasional example from indie developers but the golden age of LucasArts titles like The Secret Of Monkey Island and Day Of The Tentacle is well in the past.<\/p>\n

2022\u2019s Return To Monkey Island<\/a> is the only recent example of one of the classic franchises continuing into the modern day but surprisingly the only other one still going is Leisure Suit Larry<\/a>, which had a new entry as recently as 2020.<\/p>\n

For those that don\u2019t know the series, they\u2019re \u2018sex comedies\u2019 where you control a middle age pickup artist called Larry Laffer, as he lusts after various younger women. They\u2019re not very sexually explicit but they are inherently sexist and painfully unfunny, although it\u2019s not clear if that\u2019s why they\u2019ve been delisted.<\/p>\n

A post on Steam<\/a> entitled \u2018Time for Larry to Retire (Just a Little Bit)\u2019 states that \u2018After decades of questionable pickup lines and unforgettable adventures, it\u2019s finally time for Larry to hang up his leisure suit \u2013 at least the retro version of it!\u2019<\/p>\n

That means that Leisure Suit Larry 1 through 7 (as a running joke there was no 4) and Leisure Suit Larry Magna Cum Laude Uncut and Uncensored will \u2018soon\u2019 be leaving Steam, although if you\u2019ve already bought them, you will be able to still play and redownload them.<\/p>\n

The newer games Leisure Suit Larry: Wet Dreams Don\u2019t Dry and Wet Dreams Dry Twice, by German studio CrazyBunch, are unaffected though, even though most people probably haven\u2019t heard of those.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very hard to say what\u2019s going on here as the original games, or at least compilations of them, are still available at GOG and Fanatical, unless they\u2019re going to suddenly disappear as well.<\/p>\n
