Steam Should Add a Bring Back Games Wishlist!!
Because Why Not, the more the better.
There are so many games that deserve to be brought back instead of being just abandonware.

Steam should definitely do that!
We need Wolfenstein 2009, Dirt 1, Saw, Iron Man, Hulk, The Amazing Spider Man 2, Shattered dimensions, The Godfather 1 & 2, The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athens and many others back on Steam
DiRT 1, Riddick & Wolfenstein would be really nice.

But I guess DiRT 1 will be very unrealistic. Nearly all Codemasters are already removed from Steam sadly.
You need to contact the dev to ask them to bring the game to Steam.

Valve does not reach out to devs to bring their games to Steam.
The games are gone for a reason. Licenses, bad reviews and complains.
And since Steam is not restoring classic, like GoG, you won't see those game again.
Well, yeah, GOG is doing gods work, but if publishers/developers could see the fans wishlist on Steam as well with maybe 10 times the votes GOG has we might get more games revived.

Or those people just write to this developers per E-Mail, so they don't have to check Steam or GoG or any other site to know, that there are still people loving their stuff (I seriously doubt, that any AAA developer cares about their old games).

And like I mentioned before. Licenses are a necessary thing. If a movie license or a sport license are taken away or expire, you can't use their content and still make money with it. Riddick and Dirt are a good example of that. Dirt 1 was called Colin McRae DIRT...since they don't have the license to use the name, they don't sell the game anymore. Owners of the games can keep the games, but new customers won't get them. Same for Riddick.

And for the old titles: If you don't give support for them and maybe update them, you will tear down the reputation of this title. No developer wants to see their old classics being badmouthed, because they don't want to update their classics anymore.
Not just the Colin McRae licenses but licenses for music and cars as well, I know... because that is the reason why most games get removed or not sold in the first place.

Bringing back games is a business decision. They have to pay for licenses again and in many cases need to invest money for patches and compatibility, obviously.

10.000-100.000+ upvotes on GOG and/or Steam are definitely more worth than sending one e-mail.

If those games were selling that we'll, the IP owners would still bother with them.

The problem with the wishlist idea is, it's easy to an item to a wishlist, it's also easy not to buy a wishlisted item once the rubber hits the road. And it's easy to move the goal post and decide it's only worth buying if it's on sale for $5.

Licensed games may not be profitable if people think the game is old and only worth a pittance, but the rights, if you can even secure them might be expensive.

A few thousand people buying a game for $5 may not pay for a license that cost millions to secure.

Sometimes these ideas are more whimsy and hopeless optimism than understanding the reality.

I mean, not against it or anything. But nostalgia doesn't always mean piles of money.

GOG is still limited by whether or not the dev/IP owner allow the game to be sold.
GOG cannot just put any game up for sale, they still need permission of the owners of the IP.

@nullable & Hikari I know all of it. I thought everyone else did as well.

Obviously no one will invest in (their) old games if the get only 100-1000 votes. Especially if you live in expensive countries and or have additional expensive licenses to add to your costs.

I use GOG for over a decade as well. That GOG is even personally involved in bringing back some classic games is even more awesome.

The point is solely if a game on GOG gets 10K-100K Upvotes and Steam also gets an additional 20K-200K Upvotes because it has a larger userbase it might actually become feasable for the developers themself to bring back or even remaster some of their older games.

I also know that also means many that have GOG and Steam will vote on GOG and Steam.

I don't mind just downloading the abandonware versions, but if it helps to bring back some games why not. In the end it is still the publishers/Developers decision to do it.
