So I've just come to learn that Unreal has been removed from steam.May I ask... why? Unreal was a stable of PC Gaming and Innovation in 3D Graphics in the Late 90s around the time of Half-Life and literally defined a start to a new era of games Powered by Unreal Engine.It's really quite shitty to see Epic decide you know what, no more to the franchise that named the engine they use to milk pockets now in Fortnite.I don't hate Fortnite, but it does suck to see games like Unreal and Unreal Tournament lost to the time now.Go grab an Abandonware copy, grab the OldUnreal Patch and play it. Oh and get Jazz Jackrabbit 2 aswell XD#retrofps #gaming

@Joy Not just Steam, but GOG, too. There really wasn't any reason beyond Tim Sweeney being a dick about it. He refused to give any reasons for it, but I suspect it had something to do with it being in bestseller lists on both storefronts during every sale. The bundle that had all games also sold very well on third party stores.He said he was updating UT3 and making it F2P, too. I just hope he doesn't add crypto garbage.

@Foxhack @Joy It was due to the master servers being shut down.Why exactly those were being shut down is beyond me, they probably didn't deem the costs worth it anymore. Those master servers also powered various other games too. Doesn't change the fact that they could of kept the games available for sale and just let the consumer swap out the master server... or just play the single player component of Unreal.

@Theuaredead @Joy @Foxhack hell, even 99 and 2k4 are great as just singleplayer games, the bot support is great
