So this isn't that relevant to games released recently because they're somewhat actively maintained. The older the game gets, the more dire the situation is. For example, it is nigh impossible to find Soul Reaver for PC. It's unlisted on Steam and GOG have it as "Coming Soon" with a message about Squenix fixing something. EA is the biggest culprit for straight up abandoning games and leaving no option to get them. The Sims 2 for one.

It's easier to see the issue when you go looking for it

I want to shout out OldGamesDownload for maintaining a repository of abandoned games.
