    It's unlikely Valve forced the game off the page. Even so, the supposed issue has always been if Steam were to pull games from you that are already in your library (which AFAIK they haven't) or a future hypothetical where Steam closes down and if people would be able to offline save their libraries.

    The original version of Crysis is available right now on GOG and the EA store. PC isn't a single vendor ecosystem where the only store also owns the hardware to play it.

    We also don't know who decided to pull it. I'd still wager it is unlikely Valve made a unilateral choice or pressured the game off the platform. Look at EA for answers.

    How is this gabes fault? Should gabe ban people from removing their own games from the store?
