Why was GTA San Andreas removed from Steam?

Best Answer

GTA San Andreas got pulled from Steam because Rockstar released a remastered version for the Definitive Edition. They wanna make sure you're getting the latest and greatest, so they phased out the old version. Plus, it helps streamline the purchase options - you know, less confusion over which version to buy.

It's all about pushing the newer, shinier version. Rockstar dropped the original GTA San Andreas from Steam to nudge players towards the Definitive Edition. Makes sense from a biz perspective, even if it ruffles some feathers.

They didn't 'remove' it, per se. Rockstar just replaced the classic GTA San Andreas with the remastered Definitive Edition. You're not losing out; you're getting an upgrade!

Money talks. Selling the remastered version means more $$$ for Rockstar. Simple as that.
