since we are here, does any1 know why does this happen and to Mafia 1 too, at first i tought it was because of the licensed music, but then GTAs should get the same treatment, one would guess that the prelude time to a new installment would be the best time to sell the "old" games.

Some time ago GTA:VC was temporary taken off store. After that R* released new version with cutted some songs. Old players have all songs as they buy but newly players has cutted version.
For GTA:SA Rockstar wasn't good like that, they just released patch which cut songs for all players.

i got that from the game too, much like LA Noire wondered why was an open world game, for collectables i guess.

Played a bit of it but soon dropped it. I'll probably go back to it before Mafia 3 comes out.
No idea why it would be purchased disabled though. If it was a licensing thing, it would have been just removed. Purchase disable is usually done when the future of the game is not 100% certain such as legal limbo or a remastering is coming.

I just traded my HB copy of Mafia II just weeks ago.
Too bad it was cheap. Knowing this I'll probably ask for more.
-sigh-

Be prepared to pay a couple hundred dollars for it though

I remember playing it when I was a little kid. But I tried playing it after Mafia 2... The controls... Games with overwhelmingly negative reviews caused by controls still have better controls than that game... I couldn't get past the intro, I guess I got spoiled by games with controllable mouse movements and modern stuff like controller support.

Are you mainly talking about the driving controls (it's due to them that you have the two difficulty spikes, one being right at the very start of the game) or the controls in general? I played Mafia 1 at around the time Mafia 2 was released, and I don't remember having any issues with the controls, apart from when it came to driving (and sadly, the game starts with a driving sequence, which is unreasonably hard compared to where in the game it is set).

Well, when driving the camera had a REALLY awkward field of view and the mouse was way to sensitive. The mouse could be fixed, but that horrible FoV was breaking the game for me. I might give it a chance if it gets some kind of remake or a patch with controller support like GTA: SA got.
Anyway, the games are way too good looking for their times, the atmosphere in Mafia 2 is 11/10, it's by far the most immersive game I've ever played. Too bad I can't get into the first one.

I'm not going to say anything about it being unlikely/nigh impossible (even though it looks like that right now), because I've been proven wrong so many times in this regard. System Shock 2? Released. The Goldbox series? Release. Eye of the Beholder? Released. Shadow of the Horned rat? Released.

Its not bad at all, it's the opposite, Mafia 1 is the most expensive removed game and is very unusual to see someone with it.

And to think it used to be only $2.5 during sales...

It's high prices really does not make much sense though. Sure, it's a great game, and it has not been on steam for quite some time, but it's a rather common game outside of steam. Currently people are paying more for steam versions of Mafia than they are for many actually rare (and great) games

Dang, I wanted to get the DLC. Missed the last sale they had.

Meh, whatever. I have the Director's Cut (base game + all DLC) on 360 and found the game very boring. Only played it for a couple of hours, but the city is just completely lifeless. It seems like a sandbox game, but its really just a linear game about despicable people being cruel and selfish. I'd rather have a game where you get to take down the mafia.

Does not always pay to hold out and wait for sales you may miss the game or dlc as it could be removed at anytime.Though i do not know that the one dlc could be purchased from Russia not that it matters i played it before on console so not missing much but would got it anyhow just for the sake of having it all well.
Though the game could be back as i am sure it more less a music license issue then actually having the rights to the game and so forth.They may be removing them instead of doing what they did with GTA SA and just patched them out for everyone.
Though some are going to think now it going to be worth a lot even it does not come back,but the truth of it is unless you actually have a steam gift usually just plain keys are not worth much,as gifts are worth more.Key are worth less well it should be obvious why.
Either way so far by the looks of 3 this series is done for imo

And history repeats
Edit: It could be removed because licensing expiring of the collectible playboy magazines in game and the licensed music, but when Mafia 2 was in pre-order it have Mafia 1 has a pre order bonus, maybe they will do the same with Mafia 3.
Thanks to The End and Boltok for the info.
