The developer or publisher often decides this the games often return at a later date, once they have ironed the problems out. Technical issues, unfinished games, and poor reviews can be other factors. In some instances, Valve and the game's publisher can resolve these legal issues and the game will return to Steam. This could be music licenses expiring, a successful DMCA notice, or the publisher only listed a game to farm and sell Steam trading cards. It's not common for games to be pulled from Steam entirely, but it happens. However, the question arises: what happens when Valve removes a Steam game from sale? If you've bought the game, do you lose access to it? We're going to answer that and more. It makes sense, since Steam is easy to use, has regular sales, and has great supporting features like guides and achievements. If you want to get a PC game, chances are that you buy it on Steam.
