The original version of Crysis is available right now on GOG and the EA store. PC isn't a single vendor ecosystem where the only store also owns the hardware to play it.

We also don't know who decided to pull it. I'd still wager it is unlikely Valve made a unilateral choice or pressured the game off the platform. Look at EA for answers.

Surely EA is the victim and did nothing wrong and Steam is the antagonist here.
