Since Running With Scissors had no ownership of the Steam page, it was unable to make the game free prior to the surfacing of these DRM issues. Running With Scissors, the developer of every Postal installment aside from 3, certainly doesn’t, as it recently celebrated the game’s demise on Twitter.Īccording to Running With Scissors, Postal 3′s delisting resulted from “DRM issues and overall shittiness of the game itself.” The studio stated that the game’s servers have shut down entirely, which it suspects may have something to do with Russia’s recent economic woes since Postal 3 was made by a Russian studio. Now, nearly 11 years later, players can no longer purchase Postal 3 on Steam, which they likely won’t feel too upset about. Reviews of Postal 3 tend to cite the game’s massive number of glitches and technical issues as well as its generally poor gameplay and humor. It sits at a staggeringly low 24 Metascore on Metacritic, and over 2,000 user reviews on Steam collectively gave the game a “mostly negative” rating.
When Postal 3 came out in 2011, it earned a reception about as abysmal as a game can reasonably get.
