I get that Steam is where everything and everyone is at. And that the user experience and functionality is best there BUT having another player to try an compete with Steam is a good thing, right?
It was a while ago, I don’t remember off the top of my head which specific game I’m remembering. Doing a brief search, it appears that this happened to Unreal Tournament and Rocket League, though it appears that the games still work for the people who bought it before the unlisting. I think the concern was losing functionality, especially for server-based or multiplayer games
For unplayable, Rocket League had very good Linux and macos native builds.
Epic required them to delete support for those operating systems as part of the acquisition of Psyonix

I hadn’t heard about a game being made unplayable after they bought it, that’s seriously shitty. What game was it?

Oh yeah, I didn’t think about that. That’s super gross.
