Yesterday I was checking my wishlist, looking for a sale just in case, when I noticed that Ignite (a racing game that I have in my wishlist) didn't have a price tag. If I click in the "Visit Store Page", I'm re-directed to the main Steam page. Also, none of the others links for this game work. If I look for this game in the seach bar, Steam doesn't find it.

As fas as I know, this game was okay during the weekend. The official website for this game was last updated on November 2011...

Was the game removed from Steam? o_O

?? i can see the game in the store page , it costs 9.99$, decent game lack of story or pure racing is what led to it being inactive
wait now it takes me back to the main store page , odd at that it showed the page first

Indeed, seems that it's been pulled from Steam for whatever reason.

I still have it on my Steam account. Online has been dead for some time now.

The Steam Community forums are gone though. Seems you can still buy the game - DRM-free no less, a funny thing given that the multiplayer used Steamworks - from Gamersgate.

Yeah, everything disappeared, even the "Official Ignite Group"... If it is true that the game was removed, I guess the best option to buy it now would be from GamersGate, since the game there is DRM-Free. The Green Man Gaming version uses Capsule :(

EDIT: Wait, the game also disappeared from Green Man Gaming... O_O
It doesn't showed for me in the search bar. I now it was on GMG, because I look for that game there last week, to find out if it was Steam redeemable or not...

I wonder if EA has anything to do with this.

Could they be strong-arming them into a name change?

Forums don't generally get removed when a game is no longer sold on Steam. So that's rather odd.

For example Mafia is no longer sold on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/app/40990/discussions/

Looking for info about this game last night, I found about that, and for a few seconds, that crossed my mind... mmm (:P)

EA would not have a leg to stand on if they tried, so very unlikely.

It's true, they seem to be very active for the new version of the game.
I asked this same question on SteamGifts, and some pointed that it could be the lack of CD-Keys on Steam. It could be true, but I'm not sure:

By this time, a game going down in Steam whenever EA announces a sequel is a pattern rather than an anomaly.

People should just stop doing business with this company. They have feces all over their hands.
