Peter Molyneux's Godus, a crowdfunded god game that faced significant backlash over broken promises and a lack of updates, has been officially pulled from Steam by its developer 22cans after a 10-year run. Despite never leaving Early Access and drawing criticism from players, existing users will be able to continue playing without interruption. This move comes as a result of upcoming technical changes to Amazon Web Services that affect the game's ability to function properly for new users. In the wake of this game's removal, Molyneux has hinted at working on a new fantasy RPG set in Albion, which shares its name with the setting of the Fable series developed by the now-defunct Lionhead Studios. Godus's departure from Steam marks the end of a notoriously troubled development and serves as a significant moment in crowdfunded gaming history.

Why was Godus removed from Steam nearly ten years after its release?

Godus was removed from Steam because of upcoming technical changes to Amazon Web Services, which would have affected the game's ability to serve necessary files to new users. Although it never graduated from Early Access, current players will still have access to the game without any issues.
