''Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Phantoms'' was a multiplayer third-person tactical shooter video game, released in 2014 as a free-to-play game for Microsoft Windows. The game is part of ''Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon'' series. On August 25, 2016, Ubisoft announced that it would shut down ''Phantoms servers on December 1, 2016, due to "a slow but steady decline in users".

Free-to-play Video Games
"Free-to-play" ("F2P" or "FtP") video games are games that give players access to a significant portion of their content for free. The term "free-to-play business model" or simply, "free-to-play model", refers collectively to business model, business models that ultimately result in the creation of free-to-play games. Games that adhere to free-to-play business models are distinct from traditional premium games, which Buy-to-play, require payment before use. Free-to-play games are not to be confused with freeware games, which are entirely costless. Accordingly, free-to-play games are sometimes called "free-to-start" due to not being entirely free. Certain free-to-play games have also been labeled as "pay-to-win"—that is, that players can pay to obtain competitive advantages over other players. There are several kinds of ways that free-to-play games generate money, despite being mostly free. A common method is based on the freemium software model, in which users are incentivise ...

Cancelled Wii U Games
This is a list of cancelled Wii U video games. The Wii U was a video game console launched by Nintendo in 2012. While Nintendo found success in its predecessor, the Wii, in the 2000s, the Wii U was a commercial failure. Its concept and usage of the Wii U GamePad confused consumers, and its hardware, while comparable to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, was significantly weaker than the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One launched a year later. As a result, sales stalled, leading to a small userbase, and third party developers struggled with getting multiplatform games running on it. This, combined with the system's short lifespan, lead to several game cancellations, with some instead releasing versions of these cancelled games on the Wii U's successor, the Nintendo Switch. This list documents all known games that were announced for the Wii U at some point, but did not end up being released for it in any capacity. Games There are currently games on this list.
