If you wonder - "Whay cant I play Myth of Empires on Steam"- or -"Where has Myth of Empires gone from Steam" or "Am I banned from MoE" today, here is the answer. If you are trying to play MoE you are probably being redirected to the Steam main page.
Myth of Empires was removed / kicked from Steam's platform this morning. For several hours, it was not known what was causing this. Until the announcement of developers who shed some light on the current situation.
It turns out that Myth of Empires was convicted of copyright infringement, and Steam - whether you like it or not - had to intervene somehow.
Angela Games denies using the stolen material. The producers are in contact with Steam and try to clarify the doubts.
A few days ago, Steam received allegations of suspected copyright infringement on Myth of Empires and temporarily removed Myth of Empires from its store in accordance with the DMCA and in order to indemnify itself from liability . Our development team solemnly declares: Angela Game is the full owner of all rights and property in Myth of Empires and will actively respond to any doubts or allegations in this regard.
We're in active contact with Steam and we're working hard to bring the game back to their store. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused players.
At the same time, we will continue to improve the overall optimization of Myth of Empires as well as maintain normal operations and development work. We are currently preparing a large number of content updates that cannot be released online due to the current special circumstances, but players who have purchased Myth of Empires can rest assured that we will provide you with a better gaming experience.
Myth of Empires is one of Steam's biggest hits in recent weeks. This sandbox MMO collects fantastic ratings, and the number of players is growing every day (last weekend another record was broken - 47,000 people logged in at the same time).
But another problem is on the horizon, private MoE servers are being shut down according to this post.
Therefore, it is in everyone's interest to get this done as soon as possible. Otherwise, Myth of Empires may lose players, money and reputation.
