Third-person shooterSpec Ops: The Linehas been removed from sale from Steam due to expiring “partnership licenses”, according to a representative for 2K Games.
“Makes no sense - especially because the themes portrayed in @SpecOpsTheLine are more relevant now than ever. Why has this happened @2k @Steam?” tweeted game director Cory Davisearlier this morning.
Originally released in 2012, Spec Ops: The Line is fondly remembered for being a military shooter with something to say about war beyond “fuck yeah, humvees!”. Much like a pleasant stroll on a warm spring day, it left Alec feeling"abjectly awful", as he expressed in his review- although in Spec Op’s case, it was intentional.
It is not uncommon for games to disappear from sale, particularly for licensing issues. If I was to grieve the loss of a sun-and-sand odyssey into the heart of of man, I’d shed tears for Outrun 2006: Coast 2 Coast before Spec Ops: The Line, but your heart may be full of different stuff than mine.
