Video games can sometimes become unavailable to play. This usually happens with online games when the servers are shut down, but even single-player games aren’t immune. Often, players are given advance notice, and sometimes access remains even after a game is officially discontinued. However, games can also be removed from digital stores entirely, making it impossible for new players to buy them. Once this happens, existing owners may eventually find they have no way to play the game anymore.
KARM is a first-person shooter designed to feel like the classic games of the 1990s. Fans of DOOM will likely enjoy it, though instead of fighting demons, you’ll battle creatures inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Unfortunately, the game is no longer available for purchase on Steam, and has been permanently removed from the store. If you already bought KARM, you can still play it, but new players won’t be able to buy it. The game’s creator, Matthieu Gouby, explained why the game was removed.
I’m writing to let you know that the game will soon be unavailable for purchase on Steam. I’m closing my business, and unfortunately, that means I can no longer provide updates or support for the game.
Gouby shared their thanks to everyone who supported the game. While many fans understood the decision to remove it, some were upset by the lack of notice and wished it had been made free, similar to Gouby’s earlier game, KarmX. It’s unclear if Gouby will return to game development and revive this title, but for now, KARM has been delisted like so many other games.
KARM was a quick and exciting first-person shooter with a classic, old-school look. It launched on May 19, 2024, but was unfortunately taken offline just over a year later. Players generally enjoyed the game, as it received a ‘Mostly Positive’ rating on Steam.
Over time, many video games have been removed from digital stores. Even less well-known games can generate excitement and demonstrate creative possibilities. Beyond small independent titles, even large companies like Ubisoft have been known to close down games and their servers. This highlights the fact that when you buy a digital game, you’re really purchasing a license to play it, not actually owning the game itself.
