[ƛ . Ŀ . Ƭ . Ø . MK7 v2]

since when was this game removed from the store page ?

''Notice: At the request of the publisher, Darkest of Days is no longer available for sale on Steam.''

[Hensa]

oh that is bit sad to hear :(
They should have fixed it a bit it is a good game.

[Mateus Auri]

according to the SteamDB price history, it seems to have been delisted on Aug 24, 2021
hope it was removed for a fixed rerelease in the near future or something like that
I was waiting for a sale to grab it :(

No chance. This game was never offered at a reduced price in Europe.
No fix, no rerelease, no chance that this game will ever see the light of day on Steam again.

The company that owns it and its rights now only hosts cheesy themed slot machine games now, so there's no chance of a re-release or remaster. Its sad, I loved playing this game when I was younger.

Perhaps this game was removed due to the fact that it gave out a black screen on video cards from AMD
P.S
Also, this game was not available in the territories of the former Soviet Union, perhaps this also played a role in the removal of Darkest of days

I think this was removed because of historical portrayal or something. Something similar happened to MGS 1 and 2 recently I believe.

[Mateus Auri]

MGS 2 and 3 were delisted because of copyrights over some footage used in a few FMV cutscenes.
I don't know if DoD used real footage like that at all.

Its a old game where the dev used this as an engine demonstration.

It wasn't removed cause of historical potrayal. The dev just said to remove it, people always thinking there is some hidden messed up reason yet forget devs can tell steam to simply no longer sell it.

Because they would totally removed out of their own free will without any reasoning and lose money right?

No, they gave up developing games a long time ago. Now they make software tools for 3-D real time rendering. They also re-branded their company name from 8monkeylabs, to Marmoset.
They have a whole twitter page: https://twitter.com/marmosetco

I got to say the game had a good run though. It's too bad it was delisted... I think the game was delisted because they were no longer making sales on it. It's a shame if that's the case... But I can see where they're coming from. Why keep something up that's practically dead?

Oh, that's interesting, and way better than slots games.
Still, I don't see why they would willingly take it out, since it costs nothing to *keep* a game up on Steam. It might not make them any significant money because it's a very niche game, but it certainly didn't harm them either.
My guess is it boils down to some bureaucratic reason that makes their company unable to keep profiting from videogames after the change.

But anyway, now they've taken away the last official mean to access this title, which sucks for archival and accessibility reasons. Hope still lies on some other company acquiring the rights and republishing it.

Rip. By the time I remembered this game I can't buy it lol.
