    “Regrettably, due to an upcoming technical change to Amazon Web Services, affecting our ability to serve necessary game files to new users, these titles are to be withdrawn from the Steam store. Please be assured that existing players can continue to enjoy these games without interruption.”

    lol that’s the lamest excuse for “we don’t give a shit about the game anymore, bye” I have ever read. Blaming an obscure AWS change for them pulling it…

    Stay tuned for Molyneux’ next stinker he will surely now announce in the coming weeks.

      He never recovered from Fable 3. The salt has a hold on him still and it was his own fault for not telling Microsoft to fucken wait for it. I never even heard of Godus, the art looks nice and I like strategy. But now I’ll never try it i guess.

        You really aren’t missing much, but it’s still a shame for any game to be memory-holed like this.

          I mean the game was interesting at release and then totally butchered for the mobile refactor. It was killed basically within a year of release. I had forgotten about that until I went back to the Steam page today and read all the reviews. I had a decent amount of time in the game before the refactor and still tried to play after.
