Delisting
Racing Manager 2014 was delisted from Steam on May 12th, 2017 when its price was set to $0.00. The game was likely delisted due to expired licensing of real world vehicles, raceways, or brands but may also have been removed due to poor performance. Since its release, the game’s Steam Community forum has seen many threads relaying performance issues and bugs.
In 2016 Kalypso handed publishing duties of this and several other titles over to Assemble Entertainment, an independent publisher founded by former Kalypso CEO Stefan Marcinek. It is unclear if this transition ultimately led to the game’s delisting as some of the former Kalypso titles remain available as of this writing.
