Race Driver: Grid and Dirt 3 have been removed from Steam

Are licensing troubles to blame?
Petter Hegevall 3 January 2017

Thanks PC Gamer.

In today's industry we all know hot new titles like Forza Horizon or Grid feature tons of logos, sponsors, manufacturers, songs, and trademarks, and sometimes licenses for these things gets canceled and end up rendering a game unsellable after a certain date. We've seen this happen before, and now it seems that it has happened to Codemasters' Race Driver: Grid, which has been completely removed from both Steam and GOG.

F1 2013 and Dirt 3 have also been removed from sale, and while Codemasters and Valve (who runs, operates, and owns Steam) have yet to comment, we suspect that license troubles are to blame for this. Are you a fan of these racers?
