The original version of Crytek's classic FPS "Crisis of Islands" can no longer be purchased through Steam, and all versions of this game have mysteriously disappeared from the Valve platform.

This is another scoundrel encounter in the field of digital game preservation: the original version of Crytek's classic shooting game "Crisis Island" has now been completely discontinued on Steam.Although the original version was removed from the shelves as early as 2021, players can still purchase it through the "Crisis of Isles: War" bundle containing the expansion pack "Crisis of Isles: War".Now even this last passage has been cut off.

Although search engines can still display the Steam store page of Crysis Extreme Edition, click it and will jump to the homepage.If you enter the original game address directly, you will only see the prompt "This product has been discontinued" and it is recommended to subscribe to play through EA Play.What's strange is that the expansion pack "War Fire" is still sold separately at a discount of 24.75 yuan.

At this point, the original game has completely evaporated from Steam, but "Crisis Remake" and its sequel are still sold normally.Although the remake has lighting changes and stubborn bugs, it is still one of the best PC shooting games.

Although the world's largest PC game platform has an impact on the digital game preservation career, players can still purchase the original version through GOG or EA stores.

This silent removal once again exposed the fragility of digital games.It is not clear the specific reason why "Crisis of Isles" was suddenly removed, but when even the most iconic shooting work in PC gaming history can quietly disappear on the industry's largest distribution platform, all the collections in the digital game wilderness are in danger.
