[ManNR]

Wonder what this means. I literally just finished the story for RDR2 this weekend.

 

[Shinobido Heart]

Oh what?! But why?

 

[KillstealWolf]

Considering how much GTA V still sells even to this day, this seems like a pretty big deal.

 

[Sekiro]

Hopefully not another online store.

 

[Deleted member 12129]

Damnit I knew I should have pulled the trigger on Red Dead 2

 

[Akai]

???

 

[cvbas]

Crazy that they just had a publisher sale there.

 

[eonden]

Seems like someone clicked the wrong button and are now going back?
I know RDR Online app is back up.

 

[Mattmo831]

Uh oh.... hopefully this was a mistake

 

[Rover_]

their own store to come, for sure.

 

[Yerffej]

How could it be anything but? Steam probably generates an insane amount of money for them.

 

[RPGamer92]

Sure that won't effect people who own the games right?

[Lashley]

Likely a bug

It won't.

 

[eonden]

Also Red Dead Onlien is also up (third from the top on the OP):



Edit:
GTAs starting to come back:

 

[Guaraná]

at least GTAV is still available in Brazil.
Just checked Steam on my Android

 

[ciddative]

Still up on UK

EDIT 5 minutes and people jumping to some WILD conclusions.

Never change

 

[Border]

Epic Games Store exclusivity incoming?

 

[Mass Effect]

someone goofed

 

[Lulu]

def seems like a mistake lol

 

[SeanShards]

Likely a bug

"Retired at publisher request" does not sound like a bug, unless that's a common thing with Steam?

 

[Bill Gaitas]

They already have their own launcher/store.

Its a default text when a publisher requests it. Probably someone pushed a wrong button. It was removed already lol

 

[ZKenir]

some are coming back





just look at their publisher page, they're slowly getting price again

Steam Developer: Rockstar Games

store.steampowered.com

 

[Lant_War]

You've gone too far this time, Tim Sweeney!

I mean the games are literally being put back up right now. Maybe not a bug but certainly someone fucked up.

 

[Lobster Roll]

You just know that Tim Sweeney is lurking in the shadows pulling plugs.

 

[Madjoki]

Rockstar tried to add Rockstar Launcher to all games, but accidentally removed games instead. Understandable mistake.

 

[Berna]

at least GTAV is still available in Brazil.

The message was appearing for me in Brazil when the thread went up, now GTA V is in limbo (no warning, but no purchase options were restored yet other than Shark Cards)

Fair enough folks, wasn't sure if it was a common thing. Apparently it is!

 

[SunshinePuppies]

Where were you during the great rockstar exodus and subsequent triumphant return

 

[secretanchitman]

Really wish they'd put the original GTA and Midnight Club 2 back up!

Looks like they're starting to come back so maybe a goof up!

 

[Rosenkrantz]

I guess someone's getting retired from their work.

Went to the fridge to get a beer, came back and they were back.

At least my Erdinger stayed cool.
