Bring 'Shoot Many Robots' Back To Steam!

The issue

In-Game Related Information

Shoot Many Robots is an action platformer game. Players start in the character's RV, where they may equip their character with five items: one weapon that has unlimited ammunition in the game, a special weapon with limited ammo, and hats, pants, and backpacks that can boost performance statistics such as damage given/health or impart special abilities such as slide attacks or a jetpack. They then select a stage to complete, generally following stages in a linear order, but players can return to a previously completed stage."-Wikipedia Description

“Shoot Many Robots is a 4-player co-op run-n’-gun action game starring robot slayer and gun aficionado, P. Walter Tugnut. From a gun that shoots garden gnome missiles to a tutu that boosts speed and damage, there are hundreds of crazy guns and gear to unlock that boost Walter’s stats – not to mention, make him look pretty. You and three friends can team up to exterminate a zillion robots while progressing through tons of missions, facing uncomfortably epic bosses, and leveling up along the way.” -Xbox 360 Description

Information About This Unfortunate Problem

Shoot Many Robots was released for Steam April 6, 2012, and then according to archives it was removed/delisted from Steam on March 20, 2013, after it was removed out of nowhere! The official Shoot Many Robots Demiurge website doesn't have any posts about why it was abruptly removed although it might be because "to consolidate server or staff resources; between November 2016 and 2017 only a few spikes put the active player count over twenty. After the delisting one Steam community commenter allegedly heard from the developers who said “they were looking at getting it back on Steam. No timeline though”." ( from Delisted Games )

 What Made Me Do This

My Father and I enjoy spending time together playing this game, its lots of fun. One day I wondered "Hmm I wonder... is this SUBLIME video game on the Magnificent Gaming Community Known As Steam? And then here we are.

What Makes The Situation Worse :[

  1. There is a noticeable cool difference when it comes to the console version ( Xbox 360 and etc ) and the PC (Steam) version, players would be available to collect some very cool items ( I have barely seen any gameplay of the Steam/PC version of Shoot Many Robots so this is just of guess of how it happens although this stuff/items do exist as shown in the Shoot Many Robots PC Trailer
  2. Steam has 1 BILLION and counting USERSSTEAM is the BIGGEST gaming community and due to that, any game that is on Steam has a sort of increased/better chances at any sort of popularity. And when I said (*insert the text that is underlined in the previous sentence*) I said it like that because of that MANY games on Steam, although a Steam Sale can possibly be of assistance in a situation like this at times.
