Recently I’ve seen news about adult swim games going delisted probably off steam, one of my fav games is published by adult swim games and I want to know what will happen to it, will steam strike it off my list even if I have it installed? Will I still be able to back it up and restore its backups? Will I still be able to matchmake through steam?

    I don’t know about this case specifically, but I own Alan Wake on steam which has since been delisted because of music licenses running out. At least for that one, I still own the game on steam and can download, install and play it normally whenever I want, it’s just that people cannot buy it anymore through steam. If you’re lucky, it’s gonna be the same with the adult swim games.

    Nothing changes for you, if you already own them. They’ll still be in your library like before. Visually, the only difference will be that those specific games will have no store page

    I have plenty of since delisted games. Nothing changes, unless they require some sort of always-online component that has also since gone offline.

    Pretty sure nothing changes for you.

    Obviously in this case, no more updates. If there’s a server, it’s getting shut down. And no new players will buy it. So player count will decrease until it’s a dead game, even if multiplayer is peer to peer. But I doubt that’s the case.
