Was Mafia II pulled from Steam previously? If so, why?

It was pulled in August of last year. 2K never said why, but since it was five years to the day from its release, the odds are that it had something to do with licensing of music or something similar. That was the theory being bandied about when it was pulled.

Now what's weird is, why is Mafia 1 not on Steam store? It was available on Steam fairly recently.

No interest in the game, but I really like the designs of the vinyls. Shame you can't just get the game with those.
