"Planned obsolesence" as a matter of official policy. Any cultural expression older than a few years is not worth the bits encoding it. Meanwhile, GTA V from 2013 is still one of the top selling games on Steam.
- crazygringo 4y agoGTA V has been updated countless times since 2013, including entire re-releases for two newer console generations.

It's conceivable that those updates are what's keeping the game marketable. Still, I don't think Steam would confess to deleting a game just because it is old. They carry a lot of games which haven't been updated in years and which still sell.
