So many... I like the details, too. I remember when some of these happened, like when Telltale went out of business (and then upon coming back haven't relisted).

Quite a few just have remastered versions, which I have mixed feelings about. I feel like they should allow both from a preservation perspective, but I also wouldn't want someone downloading the older version out of confusion.

Yeah wow, these explanations are so detailed. Most of them were delisted for server reasons as expected, but there's a surprising amount of variety. My favorite reason was failing to pay the license fees for the engine they used. Not sure what I expected the consequences to be for that, but I didn't realize you could get delisted from Steam.

All that would require is a DMCA takedown request by the license-holder. Don't pay the license fee, you're effectively pirating the engine.

Just include the original with the remaster and make the naming clear. No accidental purchases.

The Long Dark has a version manager where you can choose which version you want to play from the archives. It's pretty great.
