EA did that with Origin. Sucked absolute dick and they eventually gave up on most of it except for some backend stuff. Technically, you can still buy games through New Origin, but they cross publish it all on Steam now.
EA took their games off steam, but only to recover retail fees, they supported refunds well before steam due to the BF4 fiasco.
What was the BF4 fiasco? Bad launch?
Probably the worst game launch in my memory, like the Arkham game that was pulled from steam but it wasn't just broken on AMD cards. Game would crash every 5 - 10 minutes, servers would rarely make it through a match without crashing so your progression wouldn't be saved, performance issues, etc. It took them over a year to get it stable, but after they fixed it it was a great game.
Wow, that is a terrible launch...
