A multiplayer-only game has been permanently removed from Steam following the developers shutting down the multiplayer servers. As in, if you had it in your steam library yesterday, you don't have it today. Apparently this is a "first" on Steam. Although people have had their games removed before (scammers, invalid keys and so on) this would be the first time a game is removed for every owner.
I wonder if this is a sign of things to come. Perhaps we've been living in some golden age of digital delivery and only now are we starting to "pay the bill".
Was this a free to play game or did it require payment?
You could purchase the title as stand-alone, or I think you could get it when you bought Order of War as some package.
It's a multi-player only game, if valve will no loner host servers for the game on steam then there really is no point in them keeping the game on peoples libraries because you wouldn't be able to play it anyway. I never heard of the game til now. I'm sure if there was a single player option then valve would have kept the game in the library.
Square Enix ran the servers, Valve just removed it from people's libraries since it was unusable.
Looking at some of the game stuff, there apparently were 2 single player campaigns. But I couldn't determine, if the choice to remove the game from everyone's account was the choice of valve (steam) or the company who created the game (Square Enix CO.).
Apparently, it is not a mulitplayer only game- http://support.eu.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?kid=45834&ret=main&id=592&la=2&pv=20&SQEXSC=5v0mdgp52i5oh21g6fre0fv6g1
That is for the base game, Order of War.
Order of War: Challenge with a quick search is confirmed to be multi-player only
Ahhh...didn't know there were two tiers.
