Only Up! Vanishes from Steam Amidst Twitch Fame

Only Up!, a popular game on Twitch, has been unexpectedly removed from Steam, possibly due to a copyright dispute with an artist claiming the game used their asset without permission. The game, which involves running through an obstacle course and gradually ascending to space, has gained a strong following on Twitch. While it is unclear if the copyright issue is the reason for the removal, the game's developer has stated that it will be available for purchase on Steam again soon. Additionally, the game has faced controversy for its promotion of NFTs, although Steam's rules only prohibit buying and selling NFTs within the game.
