I've heard that you can buy delisted Steam games, by using https://steamdb.info/ to enter the Steam SUB page (Of removed game).

Can someone give me a list of games you can buy using this method? Thanks.

  • EDIT: Just bought this removed game "F-1 drive"

http://store.steampowered.com/sub/67328

  • EDIT2: Here is how I did it

We will be looking for a removed game named "F-1 Drive"

Step 1: Go to https://steamdb.info/

    (this website is called "Steam Database")

Step 2: In the search bar, type "F-1 Drive"

Step 3: In the results bar, click on the "APPID" (in this case, the
number is 369620)

Step 4: In the left-hand side of the page, click on "Packages"

Step 5: Click on the "SUBID" of the package. (in this case, the number is 67328)

Step 6: Click on "View Package on Steam"

Step 7: You will end up on store page -->

You can sometimes buy delisted games from other sites if they obtained keys before the game was delisted. Including some banned ones such as Motor Rock.

Some examples:
Motor Rock : http://yardteam.org/mr/eng/download.php
Batman Arkham Knight: https://www.g2a.com/batman-arkham-knight-steam-cd-key-global.html
Rekoil: https://www.g2a.com/rekoil-steam-cd-key-global.html
Actua Soccer 3: https://www.g2a.com/actua-soccer-3-steam-cd-key-global.html
Cliver Barkers Jericho: http://www.amazon.com/Clive-Barkers-Jericho-Online-Game/dp/B00CIBAZOU/
Under the Garden : http://www.underthegarden.com/

You can also in many cases still redeem a retail cd key by buying a boxed copy of the game. As far as I am aware the following can still be redeemed in this way even though they are not available on steam.

007 Legends
Blood Bowl: Dark Elves Edition
Breach
Crasher*
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Football Manager 2009
Football Manager 2010
Football Manager 2011
Football Manager 2012
Football Manager 2013
Football Manager 2014
Legends of Pegasus (Standard and Special Edition)
London 2012: The Official Video Game of the Olympic Games
Mensa Academy
Metro: Last Light
MLB Front Office Manager**
Nascar '14
Order of War: Challenge
Prey
Rugby Challenge
Shattered Horizon
Speedball 2: Tournament
Star Trek D-A-C
Worldwide Soccer Manager 2009

Only a few removed games which have their subscription pages left open can be accessed this way. Most removed games are completely removed as can be seen in their SteamDB entry's status attribute:.

https://steamdb.info/sub/67328/info/
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/67328 is available

https://steamdb.info/sub/1567/info/
http://store.steampowered.com/sub/1567 is unavailable

For more information on removed games, I suggest reading material collected by Steam Community Groups who specialize in collecting them such as Removed Games Collectors - most of their forums are available to read publicly.

I've never seen Steam kick games except for cheating people but almost all the removed titles are because music or other rights (sports) have expired.

Music publishers are really shooting themselves in the foot as usual because when I enjoy a song in game, I'm more likely to want to hear it outside of the game.

The lawyers get 33% of 100% of nothing.

Enjoy.

Valve forgot to close this sub when the game was removed two years ago. It's published by Ubisoft and currently there's the publisher weekend. When setting up the discounts for all Ubisoft another employee didn't notice that the sub shouldn't be open anymore and put a discount on it, too.

Heya! Appreciate your reply. Judging from the price you paid, you must be in Australia, right? Looking at SteamDB I can see the only two places that still list a price for the game are New Zealand and Australia. Can you see if the game is geo-locked? Perhaps we could work something out if it isn't i.e. I could PayPal you $60 dollarydoos if you can gift it to me.

It's been a while but I wanted to add some closure to this whole ordeal. I had an Australian account attempt to gift me the game but unfortunately Steam throws out an error while doing this. I had the same Australian account gift me a different game and it worked fine. It looks like The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is region locked, so for anyone that might've wanted to try this, it's a no-go unless you're living in AU/NZ.

EDIT: This is going to be great news! Turns out the Australian account had a gifting flag. Steam support was contacted and the flag was lifted. I now own The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and paid a fair price for it.

Comment has been collapsed.

These are called 'Open Subs'. You can see a list of current open subs on Madjoki's site here: https://steam.madjoki.com/packages/opensubs

Sleeping Dogs, the original, doesn't have an open sub, but you can get it on trading sites like Dispenser for 8 TF2 keys (roughly 13.5-14.80 USD real money)

Tbh it's a steal compared to what people on Steamtrades are asking for it. If you think $30 for a rare removed game is too much you should just get cheap retail copies of these games or skip them altogether. In which case I don't quite get why you are on this thread then though xD

I mean that's fair enough, if you don't want it then don't buy it.
I just don't get responses like this in threads like this one. You don't want it? Then don't buy it. There's no point in telling others that it's too expensive for you or that you do not want it unless you found a better offer somewhere else and want to tell others about it lol.
