The sudden withdrawal of the action shooter Spec Ops The Line from the Steam platform has scared many players. It came suddenly and without any warning.
- The game was suddenly removed from Steam
- However, it remained for the players in the library
- The director of the game, Cory Davis, is also calling for comment
A few days ago, the Berlin studio Yager celebrated its 25th anniversary. The creators of the 2012 shooter Spec Ops The Line brought a perspective on warfare that made you think about your actions. The game takes place in Dubai after a catastrophic sandstorm, and players must find survivors along with other members of the Delta Exploration Team. Spec Ops The Line has become very iconic over time. And now, 11 years after its release, it was suddenly pulled from Steam.
The removal came without any prior notice. Publishers from 2K and Valve have not yet commented on the situation. But the game is still available in console stores and other retailers like GOG. The director of Spec Ops The Line, Cory Davis, also commented on the situation on X, who tagged both 2K and Steam in the post and wants to respond. He writes that it “makes no sense and the game is more relevant than ever.”
The sudden withdrawal is another argument for gamer groups who say digital licenses have their pitfalls. However, it should be added that players who have purchased the game can still play it. Speculations then started on the internet that it was a problem with the music license.
