What happened to the K-700?

Where did this transport go? Will he come back?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that ST is also down on Steam

Spintires® no anymore in Steam:

KraZ now drowns in mud anywhere.

Я думаю Паша настучал что это лично его модель, поэтому возможно игру из стима убрали.

Теперь когда Кировец удалён из игры должны скоро её в Стим вернуть.

Apparently there're different reasons why a game can be taken off of the Steam Store (LINK) Three of those reasons are more plausible: 1) The developer has taken the game down himself to fix it; 2) a DMCA copyright claim was issued; 3) There's a virus in the game.

In regards to the copyright claim from PZ or Saber theories see this thread (LINK) 
There's a license agreement between Saber and Oovee - so they have no reason to make copyright claims against each other.
As for Pavel, he has signed all of his rights to Oovee.

There's something else though, Windows' 10 defender and another 10 antivirus programs on Virus Total returned false positives for a trojan virus in Spintires.exe.  Assuming this is true, I think that this is a far more likely reason for the game's removal from the Store than copyright claims from someone who has signed off all of his rights.

Anyway, this is just from the rumour mill of the day. There have been no official statements from Oovee. At first the game dissappeared, but Chernobyl DLC returned. Now the game and all DLCs are down.

Amidst all of that the game received it's 1.7.1 update. It's changelog led to the following humorous remark by STMods user Sinnergynet: "They've fixed the french translation for "cloaking"? Oh thank god! The game was just unplayable without it!"
His funny quip is followed by reports of Havok explosions in multiplayer.

Spintires has been removed from the Steam platform by an unverified individual from Russia who has filed a DMCA notice via Valve.

@oldman777 Interesting. This DMCA thing can easily be exploited, huh.  But that's from 2019, what about now?

[oldman777 122]

I think now something similar.

Печально всё это, остаётся только ждать! Кстати был проведён розыгрыш на  ключ для Spintires® - Китай Приключение DLC  https://gleam.io/9loat/spintires-china-adventure-dlc-giveaway?fbclid=IwAR2Jm2TWjYBuNrLUDe8bZ7YK-Q4Zv_LdoFNlpo9EeQp5phbi69hObbWLUJ8   Розыгрыш прошёл, а победетели пока нет, и  как теперь будут обстоять дела с этим пока не известно.

А откуда информация про то, что модель лично от Паши?

Да и вообще, на сколько я понимаю, у него не осталось никаких прав на модели в спинке, именно поэтому почти всё, что есть в клоне, точно такое же, но либо текстуры переделаны(окружение), либо модели исправлены так, чтобы отличались от оригинальной игры. Зачем делать новую модель с нуля, когда можно ещё 10-20 полигонов накинуть на решетку радиатора?

Никакой определённой инфы, просто моё предположение. Игра из продажи исчезла и трактор из игры.

Или Паша, или тракторный завод, других версий на ум не приходит.

@Alex Cameron Hello! Can you ask C3dB about K-700, please? Did they make it? Do they have any idea who made it?   Out of all known 3d artists whose work made it into Spintires only Павел Аксенов (Pavaks) has a K-700 model, but that's probably the Mudrunner one (LINK)
