Must be why it was given away at Humble Store. Glad I got my copy.

It's a shame, what little I've played of Lego LOTR seems brilliant.
It makes me want to watch the movies, or read the books.

So, maybe this is a good time to buy up physical copies?
If you're a scumbag reseller?

If they're in your library, sure. The free Humble Store keys expired awhile ago, not sure about other unused Steam keys, but would assume it should be valid.

It appears the license expired at the start of last year. Seems they're only just getting around to auditing sites about selling it.
That would explain why there's no statement, it's a bit of an embarrassment for all involved.

Maybe unsold copies get recalled, but the games already in circulation stay out there.
Unfortunately, the digital age ruined that, too, with the need for day one patch's (That's why I try and buy "complete" editions, if available. Black edition of Ninja Gaiden is the only Xbox version worth playing today, for example.)

I might be wrong on the physical copies being recalled. I believe it's more of the case that they do not produce any more copies but if they are out in the wild, they can still be sold. However, I remember hearing that major sellers (EB for ex.) have sent unsold copies back due to legal issues. It's the same thing in theory (no new copies being produced) than removing them for a digital store.
And I find this whole "day one" patch thing hilarious. Sure, let's go back to the days where you bought a game, installed it and found out it was filled with bugs and then not being able to return it.....those were amazing times to be alive. Or how about the times where you installed the game, the game was shit and you were left with a pile of crap that was never going to be fixed......its rose tinted nostalgia glasses. Yes, there were games that were good and mostly bug free (no game is bug free) but people are forgetting the shitty games and experiences where you just had to work around the crap.
Oh sure, it happened. From what I hear, it happened.
Never personally experienced anything remotely as bad the brokenness on release of, say, Skyrim. Which, to this day, has me randomly falling off the map.
For the most part, the gains given by the ability to fix bugs, has cost a lot of broken games being rushed out the gate, because they could fix it in post. Just about every game in my library of NES, SNES, N64, PS1, and PS2 games work just fine, because real effort was made in quality control to make sure they worked. In another 20 years, those old games will be as playable as the day they were released. In the same 20 years, most 360 and ps3 games won't be playable on an xbox or ps3 (Though some may be available through other channels, but certainly not all.)
I'll take the unfixable broken bit in a largely playable game, over the current trend of shipping out broken products to be patched later because hard limits for profit margins.

Yeah, it really results in huge panning by critics as well, which is sad because they end up being great games sometimes.
No one cares to do a follow-up, and they really shouldn't either. If you're gonna ship your game with 0 content and the whole game being a glitch at launch, you deserve the review you get.
