Alice: Madness Returns keeps disappearing and reappearing on Steam
American McGee’s sequel Alice: Madness Returns has a fickle relationship with Steam as it continues to be uploaded and removed from the digital storefront without much explanation.
Last weekend it was reported that Alice: Madness Returns has been removed from Steam again after only being returned to the Valve PC platform a few months prior. Before this, the sequel was removed from sale back in 2016 - apparently due to a digital rights management (DRM) issue - and stayed off the platform for five years until it returned earlier this year.
This time, it looks like a different issue caused the game to be taken off of Steam as the game’s creator American McGee shared on Twitter. According to McGee, the issue could be somehow connected to the developer’s company Spicy Horse, which officially closed its doors in 2016, and the games associated with the company.
"From what I’ve heard, in trying to remove Akaneiro from Steam (it was broken), all other Spicy Horse games also got removed," McGee said in a tweet (opens in new tab). However, just two days later Alice: Madness Returns was back on Steam without any explanation. According to McGee (opens in new tab), they have received "zero response from Steam support about any of this. Just Alice mysteriously reappears without a word."
