      You conveniently left out that Valve can terminate your account for reasons unrelated to the games you’d lose that way.

        It still is, the Single Player is still available if you read the article. They just shut down servers, and that’s on Square Enix.

            Update: It appears that contrary to what I first believed, the single-player portion of the game—Order of War without the “Challenge”—is still available on Steam, and only the multi-player content has been removed.
