Spec Ops: The Line earned a reputation as one of the best first-person shooters of its time. Unfortunately, any newcomers may miss out on the game moving forward, as it has mysteriously been delisted from Steam. 

As spotted by Eurogamer, the Steam Store listing for Spec Ops: The Line has now been updated with a notice to say that the game is no longer available for purchase. The game, which was developed by Yager and published by 2K Games, had previously been available without issue and the delisting has come without warning, so we're unsure exactly what occurred behind the scenes here.

Spec Ops: The Line does have a particularly brutal story and is one of the more intense war-set games to be released. Still, the game received plenty of praise for its release back in 2012.

While the game may no longer be available through an official store like Steam, PC keys can still be found for sale on various sites, so the game is still technically available without resorting to piracy.

KitGuru Says: Older games are often delisted due to expiring music licenses, so that could play a role here. Hopefully 2K Games or Yager Studios can provide an update later this week.
