Looks like both timestamps games were delisted from steam. Another victim of the payment processor BS I guess.
No, the games being delisted from Steam, and not removed from the Store, has actually nothing to do with payment processors this time, it's something about disputed publishing rights between Motkeyz and Aesouh.
From what I understand, apparently not only has Aesouh not been doing his job for a year or more (well, he seems to have done something in fits and starts, but he disappeard again a couple of months ago), but now that Motkeyz has decided to "dump" him and port the game to Ren'py he is contesting his publishing rights and claiming them for himself and his "publishing company".

in a thread on the Timestamps: Unconditional Love Steam hub:
Motkeyz said:
No guys it has nothing to do with the payment processor. It is an internal dispute on who own the publishing rights. My former partner try to regain the game to his own publishing company because it was transfer to me lately so I can make sure the chapter 2 is finally available to you guys. Nothing is certain anymore...

Simple solution: Leak the game but claim innocence, regain reputation, ask for support for the new game, hopefully loyal supporters will come back to help the underdog who somehow keep the promise.

LOL, so Aesouh turns out to be such asshole scammer in the end.

I am one of the harshest critics of Motkeyz and I actually do feel bad for him now cause he is fucked. This advice is ass and would screw him so bad legally.

The point is if the dev can release the game before there is no reason it cannot be released now. The worst case is the other parties taking the same cut. Please look at the whole situation before believing the whole story - is it real or just buying sympathy?

Volunteered testers are perfectly legal if the dev cares about fulfilling the promise to finish.

Definitely a shitty situation. But like they worked together for years right? And he had no idea his partner is a backstabbing scammer?

Your logic is deeply flawed as you are placing the risk of damages on a voluntary nobody to leak proprietary property and face the potential to get sued for thousands if not hundreds of thousands of dollars of lost profits.

What rock are you living under? Do you have the balls to do that!? Once again terrible amateur take…

How could he possibly have known? And the fact that we have absolutely no way of verifying this narrative should not stop anyone from plotting murder inspired by it!;)
