While you're likely right, I haven't seen an official press release that say's it going to be pulled from steam, just that it would only continue to be supported. It's not explicitly called out, so it's left to people to speculate.

1. Gauge the communities reaction.
2. Allow Epic the ability to make the decision further down the line, including reversing course on the internal decision.
