Locked out several community hubs [= forums]
Try to update my trade posting from before, but got this:

"Error
Sorry!
An error was encountered while processing your request:

This Community Hub is not available in your region."

At least 5 hubs at the moment, possible more, I haven't check them.
So what is the problem?

What region do you live in? and which game hubs are you talking about?

I own the GooCubelets games, and I can full well visit the forums. USA.

The problem is that any forum for games that have been delisted and had their store page removed (not just simply disabling purchases) have been completely blocked off for people who don't own the game. But why even make this change? Who ever complained about this?

I just tested and all of these links for me are locked as well : This Community Hub is not available in your region.
Yesterday my artworks were giving me the same message

So, it seems this issue is rather global on Steam

oh, I think it is because these are games by Digital Homicide and their ban evasion developer studios, all of which got banned.

In all likelihood the game developers themselves. Remember that they get a cut from the card sales. Preventing those sales, but encouraging trades. Could be grounds for litigation, because they could argue the sales continued offsite, and they wouldn't were it not for Valves actions.

Remember if someones store page has been removed. Chances are they were problematic and maybe litigious. As such it's more cost effective to cut them out completely. Ensure they have no case, and can't contrive an excuse.

I am not sure about that?!

re GooCubelets games:
developers Zonitron Productions
publishers GrabTheGames

Digital Homicide were having Rocket league, The slaughtering grounds and so on.

Could also be that Steam [Valve] is pulling the pin on all forums and/or only trading forums regarding removed games? Or a bug (= scripting error)? Or?

I have lodged a ticket with Steam, waiting for their explanation/reason?!

If I remember right after Digital Homicide got banned they tried to do ban evasion under a different name, I believe Zonitron was one of them. They didn't release the same games under a different name, they just released new games under the different name.

No, it isn't just these developers.
I checked LEGO Universe (no trading cards), and The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and neither of these games' forums were available to non-owners anymore.
This can only be a change made on Valve's end.

Tested it on Deadpool and Transformers Fall of Cybertron, same exact issue.

edit: Same with Fable 3
