Counter-Strike: GO and other Steam games have been temporarily retired, and no one knows why

Dozens of games, DLC packs and other items were temporarily removed from the Steam storefront on Tuesday before being restored two hours later. As first spotted by Twitter users like Gabe Follower and then reported by VGC, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was the biggest name hit, prompting speculation on social media.

However, if you scroll down you can see a wave of deleted content on March 9, starting with Paws and Claws: Pet Vet and ending with the movie American Gods. The individual shows how his description, screenshots and trailers were removed from the storefront, only to be restored two hours later.

At this time, it’s unclear why these particular items were affected by this apparent bug. Steam Database founder Pavel Djundik said on Twitter that this could be related to region locks for certain titles, as most items had locks based on geographic region. That said, it’s basically just speculation at this point, and we may never know why it happened. Considering that CS: GO is one of the most popular games on Steam, this is certainly a notable issue. We’ve reached out to Valve for comment, and we’ll update this story if we have a response.
