Paranautical Activity was available on Steam until an incident in late October of last year led to it being removed from Steam after one of the people involved in making it tweeted out a threat to murder Valve bosss Gave Newell. It was claimed to be a joke but Valve decided such actions would not be tolerated which sucked for fans of the game. Well, good news – it’s back on Steam now under new management.

Mike Maulbeck had been the responsible party for the tweet and following it, he left the company of Code Avarice in an attempt to take the bad reputation with him and maybe try to get Paranautical Activity back on Steam. However its taken a sale of the game’s rights to Digerati Distribution to get Valve to reverse the decision and re-allow the game back onto Steam.

The game has been a little bit updated too, adding a new level type, a new weapon and an item called the “Digerati Defibrillator”, on which the game’s press release remarks “well, someone had to bring this game back to life, right?” It’s also now debuting on both the Humble Store and GOG as well, so it’s a win all around for the game and fans of it. Not so much Code Avarice though.
