Recently The Long Dark removed from the store without any explanation.
https://www.gog.com/forum/the_long_dark/the_long_dark_removal/page1

It was not an abandoned game issue. Game was identical with Steam version.
Both versions are 1.37.

There should be a policy about informing the customers why is game removed, what was the reason etc.

Devs are severing ties with GoG, removing the game from store but they are keep updating it in future. Why?

Why don't you ask the devs?

I did on Twitter the day before removal and they didn't answer.

When the reason is more or less harmless, such as expiring deals that have to be renegotiated, they do inform. When it's something more complicated, they don't, and for a good reason. No company is going to disclose so openly issues on their business relationship with another company. At least not as a general rule.

GoG is a bridge between customer and game company. It's have a reason to be exist.
It should provide healthy communication between developer and customer in my opinion.

Especially if it looks bad for one or the other company. That's why GOG doesn't comment on why certain games are rejected: never looks nice, even if they're in the right.
