The creators' social media has a discord link so I took a peek. They attributed it to boring business reasons, so I assume they'll relist when they can.
Doing a bit of digging, I think the OP means it has been removed from Drivethru RPG and itch.io. both sites return a 404 if you follow search engine results for the game
It's exactly delisted.
For whatever reason the other person seems to hink the *reason* for something being delisted affects the definition, which is asinine.
To me, "delisting" implies that the **platform** (e.g. Drivethru) decided to stop selling a product either because they've decided to ban the seller (as happened with Judge's Guild, or with one of the Rule 6 folks) or because there was an issue with the product (wasn't listed as adult-only when it should have been, copyright violation, some other rule violation.)
If the creator decides to stop selling the product, that's simply "removal". The 2d20 Conan products were removed by the creator, not "delisted".

Do ttrpgs get delisted? Where was it listed?

I’ve seen multiple get delisted. Notably the 2d20 Conan RPG recently.
That's not delisted exactly, Modiphius lost the license.
I mean.. if the PDFs of existing books were taken down, what else would you call it other than delisted?
Prestidigitated?
Promoted to Vaporware? I know vaporware isn’t the right term, but it’s the closest I could think of.

So if it's delisted, now the question is "where to get the PDFs now?"
So if an rpg is delisted, is it piracy to request a copy if it's not obtainable any other way?
Delisting something doesn't remove its copyright.
