After extensive testing it seems that steamcmd cannot be reliable used on Busybox. The steamcmd.sh script that is internally used by steamcmd points to the bash shell and even if it's changed it's automatically updated when steamcmd is executed.
Adding the bash shell and other code to try to get it to work adds disk usage overhead to an extend that the image size is almost the same as the Alpine version. This fact together with the stability, justifies removing the image to avoid people having issues in the long run with this image.
Besides removing Busybox this will also add an extra Alpine tag to be able to pin on major versions, just like the centos and ubuntu tags.
