Update released (The game no longer starts and cannot download)

An update was released for the game, I had the Memoria Engine and Moguri Mod. The game stopped starting, I deleted the game, cleaned the folder, cleaned the registry, cleaned the Steam download cache. The game no longer downloads, only the launcher from the game is downloaded and that’s it.

Interesting, an update that basically removes the game from every customers system. Nice.

I checked the folder and there's nothing but the launcher.

Guys, relax. It's obviously a mistake and they'll revert it in a few minutes. Patience

Steam/ Valve should not enable anyone to do this, remove say a certain percentage of game files that effectively ends up removing the game (after it has been bought), in error or intentionally.

Also with how Steam handles Updates, you can't completly disable updates on a per game basis and as soon as you launch the game said game removing "update" will be upon the user. It can only be delayed via defined update time frames.

The only thing they can do now is issue a new build/ patch. But for users where the game has already been removed, those will have to re-download. So that's great currently when it's best not to unnecessarily waste bandwith.
