Grid, Dirt 3 and F1 2013 removed from Steam

  • 225

Days after GOG publicly said cheerio to Codemasters' Grid, F1 2013, Dirt 3, and oh yes Grid have also disappeared from the Steam Store. If you already own them on there, there's no need to panic, as you'll still be able to download and play them, but if you were waiting to pick them up, then I'm afraid it's too late.

There's no reason given for the games' removal, and indeed no official recognition that they've gone at all, but if you try to search for all three games you'll find that they've been taken out to Steam's backyard and sho—er, sent to go live on a farm and no you can't go and visit them sorry kiddo.

GOG told us in an email that Grid's removal was due to expiring licenses, so it seems likely that the same explanation applies here. (Dirt 3 and F1 2013 weren't on GOG, so obviously they didn't need to be removed there.)

There is though. Expired licenses (cars, brands, whatever).

EDIT: Oh you mentioned it further down the line! :D

this licence thing is kinda stupid. most games have no physical versions now so they'll be lost forever?

This. It definitely seems to be an issue with this "all digital" approach that seems to be the trend.

They could at least say something to the people. Hey people we are going to remove this 3 games from steam in one week, get them while you still can. I guess it was too hard :P

I hate when they remove something without telling us. I once played a game i really liked, it had some DLCs available to buy. They were on steam store but you couldn't buy them. Later i read somewhere that the deveopers had some arguments with steam (i can't remember the exact details). After some time i guess they sorted it out because it was again avalible to buy. No information provided from steam about anything
