22cans would like to share important news regarding our games, Godus and Godus Wars. Regrettably, due to an upcoming technical change to Amazon Web Services, affecting our ability to serve necessary game files to new users, these titles are to be withdrawn from the Steam store. Please be assured that existing players can continue to enjoy these games without interruption.
They probably have a crappy DRM solution and don’t want to keep maintaining it. They should just remove the DRM entirely in a patch, remove the early access label, and drastically drop the price instead of delisting.

Early access for 10 years, mostly negative reviews, vague blaming of AWS for taking down the game.
They probably just can’t be bothered trying to salvage the game and don’t want to say that.
