What if the publisher decides they no longer want it to be available? Is that a "good reason"? It's outside the responsibility and control of Steam.
Steam removes it from the store. It's still in my library and I can still download it anytime.
That's been my experience.
That's good to know.
Thank you confirming what I was hoping for.
In my book it is.
It's still bad and a reason to strive for the ability to fully own games.
But Steam's fault? Nah.
