#22Jesus I thought it'd be obscure games but I randomly scrolled down and saw Duke Nukem games, a bunch of the F1 series, Jet Set Radio, Lumines, Mafia III, MultiVersus (don't care about this I just remember _so many_ people being paid to stream this, there was a lot of money behind it) and Wolfenstein (2009). I had no idea this was so prevalent

#23Mostly seems to be games where the licensing deal expired or the company folded. I was expecting to see a few more from the adult category that got delisted because someone noticed TOS violating material and reported it. There was a recent video about Horses, which admittedly was a pre-release, but was technically available for download and is now gone. It is not on this list.
Idk how common it is anymore, but one game (which seems to be missing from this list) I know was removed from Steam after the early access launch from a Kickstarter campaign. The developers essentially quickly ghosted the game after the EA, considering the Kickstarter complete and taking their money. It was seen as a pretty big scandal in the early days when we had some standards.

#24interesting i bought bloodrayne a long time ago if i delete it i lose the game right?
No, the games just disappear from the shop and can no longer be bought via Steam. When you are already own them, you keep them. Third party seller might sometimes also still sell remaining Steam Key inventory and thus offer a way to activate a delisted game on Steam.
One area where content can disappear is music licenses, those often don't result in a complete delisting of the game, but just the music getting patched out of the game. In those cases, the music would be gone for everybody, as Steam game updates are mandatory and you can't downgrade the game to a previous version either. Unofficial mods will sometimes address this issue and add the music back in.

#25death stranding is in there I remember that many games I had in my wishlist became "blank" or removed, and I was unable to know what games were those
It was superseded by the Director’s Cut edition. So you can buy DS but not the original launch edition That’s actually a case with a lot of games on the list that got a remake, director’s cut, upgraded edition etc.

This site has a tag for games that get relisted, but it really needs one for games that got remastered as well. It's a bit misleading to say a game is gone when you can still buy the GOTY version.
Really, it would be nice if every listing had a 1 or 2 word tag that summarized the reason for the de-listing.
Publisher Closed
Servers Shut Down
Remastered
License Expired
TOS Violation
That sort of thing.

#27Transformers: Fall/War of Cybertron went away and never came back. I'm still waiting...

#28Prey (2006) https://delistedgames.com/prey/
Great game, with some innovative level design involving portals and gravity manipulation. Delisted back in 2009 and impossible to acquire legally to this day on PC.

#29Great resource. I have a fair number of them purchased.
-- Back to the Future: The Game
-- Blur
-- Crysis
-- Dark Souls
-- Dirt 2
-- Dirt 3
-- Dirt Showdown
-- F1 2010 - 2015
-- F1 Race Stars
-- Grand Theft Auto 1, 2, 3, San Andreas, Vice City
-- Grid (2019)
-- Metro 2033
-- Prey (2006)
-- Project CARS
-- ToCA Race Driver 3
-- Transformers: War for Cybertron
-- Transformers: Fall of Cybertron
In most cases the games were delisted because of expiring licenses for cars, tracks, music, or studios being purchased by another studio.
It's a bit sad as I consider Crysis and GTA to be an important part of gaming history.

#30It's funny that 3 different Space Hulk games are here. I actually thought Space Hulk (2013) was amazing but it's hard for a developer to keep up the yearly license payments on any Warhammer franchise. So it's not available for purchase anymore. It got ~75% on reviews on release but i like the board game and it was true to the board game so i personally loved it. Link on the steam store (the site should have these) ht…
I've had negative opinion on company behind Warhammer ever since Emperor TTS debacle
everything I've heard since only confirms that that universe would be better dead and never be talked about
