Stalcraft: X suddenly removed from Steam
The management of the most popular digital game store is currently removing quite a few items from its shelves, but the purge mainly concerns entertainment of obscene content. Why the project by independent Russian developers Stalcraft: X got caught in the crossfire remains a mystery. The EXBO team announced the removal on their official website. The Steam version of the multiplayer role-playing shooter is still available to its owners, but if you go from the library to the store page, a message appears stating that the product is no longer available for installation.
More details about the removal of Stalcraft: X
It is still unknown how and why the game was removed from the product list. According to official information, this happened at the request of the publisher, i.e., the EXBO studio itself. However, the developers do not confirm this data—according to them, they are negotiating with the Steam Team to relaunch the page and resume sales. The only advice they can give today is to visit the website of the fantastic MMO action game and download the client directly from there, without a Valve platform account. Meanwhile, gamers are putting forward several theories about what happened.
Some believe this is just a marketing campaign to attract attention. Others think it's a requirement from payment services. And some claim that the cause is a couple of magazines with explicit pictures that can be found in the virtual world. What really happened will most likely become clear later. For now, it's safe to say that serious problems have been avoided—«Stalcraft» can still be easily installed via the official launcher. The game was recently updated, adding «Perimeter Attack», a shelf for purchasing items from cases, as well as weapons, modules, and various decorations.
