How hard could it be to maintain a steam store page on your own? Seems like a weird reason to just completely stop taking in revenue for something you created.

Just a guess but I imagine the economic feasibility of purchasing those publishing rights is the main hang up.
Publisher could be cool or they could squat on an IP for decades doing nothing. Who knows.
What does this mean to the game on steam? Only delisting from the shop but still downloadable? Or will it be taken from my Library? I haven't bought it yet, because I never heard of it. But it looks fun... So maybe while the sale goes on?
It'll be delisted but should still be downloadable to anyone who owns it IIRC
If there was ever a suitable time to release a game to the public domain...
If I already own the came can I download it to a new PC after the change?
