Fare Thee Well, GameTap

It's official: GameTap will remove Wing Commander I, II and IV from their service at some point today. The CIC staff would like to formally apologize to anyone who paid for the service beyond today believing they would be able to play Wing Commander. We genuinely believed that GameTap would offer an exciting new way for both old fans and new players to experience Wing Commander. This is a sad cap for what has otherwise been a universally excellent year for Wing Commander fans. You can remember the good times with our memorial retrospective archive, available here. Here's to hoping that another service licenses Electronic Arts' game catalog in the near future - they'll have my dollars.
