several, typically due to audio licenses of all things. There's a few different games currently in my library that you actually can't buy anymore, it's quite silly.
That's not revoking a license you paid for. That is just taking it away from shop to buy. These are two different things. Publishers are allowed to take games away from shop, so no one can buy the games anymore. But the owner of a license still has the right to download and play the game (unless its an online game, but that's not revoking the Steam license).
