Games are usually removed due to licenses expiring.

How can that happen? How can you not be able to generate new keys?

They lost the software. There was some turbulence with the company, important things were lost, and Prey was taken down. Without an ability to generate new keys (they need to make sure that each new key is unique and has not already been used), the game can't be sold anymore.

But there is no other way? Can't they write the software again?
I have a hard time accepting when a situation has no solution. I'm a problem solver. :/

May be an over-simplification and likely speed limited but, accounts with the game that test the generated keys prior to shipping to weed out duplicated (i.e. already sold way back when).

If you try to activate enough keys that are already taken in a short period of time Steam will flag your account, and you won't be able to activate any keys for a while (don't know exactly how long, but it's more than an hour).
Also, if you already have the game on your account it won't tell you if the key has been used or not. Steam will already tell you that the product exists in your account, and ask you if you want to install it.
Also, even if you find a way to tell which keys are activated on steam, it won't tell you if they are sold keys that have not been used yet.

ah true, well....I would think there is some solution, but guess not enough profit to be made that someone will put manpower towards it.

Too many to list. :(
Some of the ones I really wish I could get:
Well looks like I'm starting to list them so I need to cut myself off. :)

The sad thing is I was trying to buy them during the last sale a few weeks back. $5.14 for all the dlc. My PayPal kept getting declined. It was the first time that had ever happened and I couldn't figure it out. After contacting both the site's and PayPal's support I was informed it was because I hadn't updated my card's expiration date in my PayPal account (I had just received my new card). So, it makes sense and I'm happy my account was secured, but we got it all sorted out 2 days after the game and dlc had been pulled. :(
I don't really know anything about the black/grey markets.
