A few more games are going to be lost to history, as the French indie studio Accidental Queens announced they're closing down.
In a short post on Facebook they mentioned: "Hi everyone, as you may have noticed, we've not been very active online for the past few years. We are officially in the process of closing our studio. We are fine, we just wanted to move on to other things!".
Their titles are all rated Very Positive on Steam:
"A Normal Lost Phone is a game about exploring the intimacy of an unknown person whose phone was found by the player."
" Explore the social life of Laura in this spiritual sequel to A Normal Lost Phone. "
"An audio mystery set in a time loop. Record, rewind time and broadcast snippets of radio shows to expose radio hosts, conspiracy theorists and politicians."
The developer confirmed in Steam announcements for each title that they will be gone on January 29th. Each also has a big discount if you do want to grab them before they're gone forever.

Quoting: Liam DaweThe developer confirmed in Steam announcements for each title that they will be gone on January 29th.What the hell. Instead of doing the Helium Rain thing and making it gratis, or better yet: open sourcing it; they just go 'get it now or get fucked'? Well, it's their games, they can do whatever they want with them.
Quoting: NoahTheDukewhat's the point of delisting the games? stop support issues? do they have to pay steam to keep them up? (this is the reason a lot of games are removed from the ios app store.) or is there a legal reason to remove them?Highly doubt that they have to pay Steam anything. That's what the 30% cut is for - eternal hosting.
But your question is totally valid... why delist the games when you can continue selling them?
