This game, and, along with the effect of Great Recession which happened in many countries, including Russia, and many other bad decisions made in the company such as firing it's development teams, this caused the company to went bankrupt and it's employees getting laid off. Subsequently, in Nov 2022, Valve has delisted Postal III from the Steam store due to the game using a DRM which the DRM servers are no longer online, aswell as lacking support due to Akella, while technically still exists, has gone bankrupt long time ago. Postal III eventually was re-released on Steam after what remains of Akella gave RWS some access to the Store page of the game, then RWS & Zoom Platform worked together on adding patches from the Zoom Platform version of the game to Steam.
