Two of the best skating games are back on Steam after being mysteriously pulled from sale months ago

Summary
Two popular skating games, OlliOlli World and Rollerdrome, disappeared from Steam in February, reportedly after the closure of developer Roll7, which had been owned by Take-Two’s Private Division
Private Division was sold to a private equity firm in May, reportedly resulting in the closure of Roll7 and layoffs across other studios
However, the two skating games are now back for sale on Steam, with Take-Two’s publishing label 2K listed as the publisher, contrary to the company’s previous statement that it did not acquire the games in the Private Division sale.
It is unclear why the games were delisted or why they are back, but reports suggest that the staff who worked on the games have not been rehired.
The reappearance of the games raises ethical questions for gamers considering purchasing them.
