The iconic spy thriller Alpha Protocol has been removed from Steam and other digital stores, making it unavailable for purchase.
A SEGA representative explained this by saying that the company's publishing rights to Alpha Protocol had expired: "After the expiration of SEGA's publishing rights to Alpha Protocol, the game was removed from Steam and is no longer sold." Game owners can still download their own copies.
Alpha Protocol is a tactical espionage RPG from Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II β The Sith Lords and Fallout: New Vegas. It is very likely that since SEGA lost the rights to the project, they could have been acquired by Microsoft, . Fans are waiting for a remake, remaster or sequel, and their desire was fueled last year by the studio's Twitter, which hinted at a re-release of Alpha Protocol for modern consoles.
You can still purchase Alpha Protocol activation codes for Steam and other platforms from third-party stores. The game went on sale on May 27, 2010 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
