Maybe Steam ran out of copies, it's a retailer, like if gamestop ran out of physical copies of a game

They only have so many keys the developer gives them at a time. Think of it as a physical thing, even though it's not.

Except when you are buying from the Steam store you aren't buying a key, so this does not apply.

I believe you do still receive keys when buying from steam., not that you ever see it. but you still have one.

I believe this too; basically any game needs to bind your copy to some key or code to verify you. Even if that's not the case, as the below commentor said, it's a GFWL game, so it does have a key.

This; just because we don't see it doesn't mean a key isn't changing hands behind the scenes. There are multiple examples of Steam over selling and users having to wait a bit to get a key. And I'm pretty sure Steam uses the actual word 'key'.

That's no reason to delete the store page though

The store page isn't deleted, you just can't buy it anymore.

lol, that can not be true, because there are many games on steam that need Games for Windows live, eg. Batman AC and others.

Bioshock and Dead Space too. I am confused about it though. Maybe they are changing it from one format to another? Like with GTA?

Probably some licensing issue, like when GTA Vice City was removed.

Read somewhere that Steam prereserves/buys a limited contingency for gamekeys.
And as the game needs GFW, I think they're simply out of it at the moment to sell any surplus at the store.
