This giveaway: http://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/UQaiL inspired me to start this thread

I posted this in the game hub (and there is a similar post on the steam forums), but it didn't get much attention: http://steamcommunity.com/app/27300/discussions/0/828923952092247893/

I have had my eye on the SAW game in the steam store of awhile, and then all of a sudden it appears to had disappeared from the store.

Where has Saw gone in the store?

I can't find it when I search for it ( http://store.steampowered.com/search/?snr=1_4_4__12&term=saw )

When I search for the game via google it give me the link http://store.steampowered.com/app/27300/ but the link goes no where.

Additionally, all the people who have previously purchased the game seem to have it (such as http://steamcommunity.com/id/MacedonianVEP/games?tab=all and http://steamcommunity.com/id/unusedcustomurl/games?tab=all ). And the game hub of the game is still up and active.

Does anyone have any insight into what happened?

The game probably got removed from the store and it's normal that when a game is removed that people who bought it before can still download and play it.

Does Valve remove games from the store though? I've never seem/noticed this before?

Yes, this happend with a GTA title and with Wolfenstein 2009 (and with others).

This can happen when a license agreement ends or is changed (not necessarily an agreement with Valve, this could also be about agreements of developers with publishers).

The GTA Vice City deletion was because of music Copyright. SAW hasn't got a reason to be removed.
