So how long until this gets pulled from the store?

Predictions guys.

[Paradox1126]

lets go with 2 more yrs

[Ochso]

Removal from steam or all purchase outlets ?.
A fair few factors.
a) Vehicle Licensing - game release Feb 2019 ( licence already in place but may co incide with game launch date) take away 30 day notice period for withdrawal for purchase so announcements would be at latest Jan of the year they decide.
b) Steam contract- ie when does need for renewal of full service contract expire.
c) Game sales reach a point when revenue out exceeds revenue in.

Pure 100% guesswork - Based on the WRC title updating every year notification late 2024 for early 2025 removal.

Delisting seems to be a Codemasters thing annoyingly, look at KT Racing and Milestone still have all their WRC titles listed on Steam dating back to 2013.

Going by delistedgames.com it looks like Codemasters typically pulls the plug after 5 years with Dirt titles, the exception being Dirt Rally which managed to get 7 years.

So going on those metrics it looks like 2024-2026 and probably strongly depends on how well the soon to be released WRC2023 is received, if its too much like Dirt and not Dirt Rally a lot of players wont switch, along with PC specs that can't run UE4 as good as the Ego Engine (lots of vocal VR users).

Player transition may also take a while too, getting WRC2023 running consistently without issues as Dirt Rally 2 had loads of issues for about a year and lots of DR1 players stuck with DR1 during that period (which could explain the 2 extra years).

A real shame as no doubt everyone has their favourites (along with music scores & artwork that will never see the light of day again). All of those delisted titled would run fantastically on the Steamdeck too!
