Recently I've seen news about adult swim games going delisted probably off steam, one of my fav games is published by adult swim games and I want to know what will happen to it, will steam strike it off my list even if I have it installed? Will I still be able to back it up and restore its backups? Will I still be able to matchmake through steam?

Pretty sure nothing changes for you.

Obviously in this case, no more updates. If there's a server, it's getting shut down. And no new players will buy it. So player count will decrease until it's a dead game, even if multiplayer is peer to peer. But I doubt that's the case.
