[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61993, member: 1"] Spec Ops: The Line is one of the most important games of the seventh console generation, but playing it on PC just got a little harder. The acclaimed military shooter was delisted from Steam without warning today, though it is still available on [URL='https://www.gog.com/en/game/spec_ops_the_line']other PC storefronts[/URL] and [URL='https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/spec-ops-the-line/c160k9cdddcw']Xbox[/URL], where it is backwards compatible. The removal was first spotted by Wario64, who drew attention to the delisting on [URL='https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1752100767589347450?t=gkM3M3lA3Wj_khczUXoj8w']X/Twitter[/URL]. If you navigate to The Line's [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/app/50300/']Steam page[/URL], you'll be unable to purchase the game and see a notice saying, "Spec Ops: The Line is no longer available on the Steam store." It's not unsual for games to delisted from Steam, but it does stand out given Spec Ops: The Line's critical acclaim and historical significance. The Line's infamous white phosphorus scene still frequently comes in conversations surrounding memorable (if horrific) moments in games and player choice, and [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2014/11/20/the-changing-face-of-war-games']The Line helped to usher in a new, more critical era of video games based on modern conflict.[/URL] In [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/2012/06/26/spec-ops-the-line-review']our review[/URL], we wrote that "Spec Ops is a daring experiment worth celebrating.

It's a shame that, at least for now, players can't purchase it on one of the biggest storefronts in the world, though thankfully it can still be experienced on other platforms.
