I’ve seen stuff pulled from the steam store so it’s no longer available for purchase/adding to my library, but the ones I already added, even undownloaded, have always still been available in my library, even if the game was fully defunct.
That’s a substantially different situation, I don’t see how you can reasonably equate Sony removing game data from people’s console post-purchase due to them no longer maintaining any servers to play on with Valve not letting you keep a game that was not properly paid for in the first place.
What facts? You’re comparing Sony manually removing game data from accounts that had legitimate ownership of it with Steam automatically reversing the registration of a game you didn’t pay for. I’m sure you’ve done some serious mental gymnastics to justify whatever grudge you hold over the situation, but it’s entirely apples to oranges.
I’m actually just a random third party who saw your exchange and felt it’d be fun to point out that it’s funny you’re so horny to defend your false equivalence for some reason!
I didn’t expect the payment to fail and I definitely didnt expect the games I started playing to be deleted from my harddrive. Are you trying to say you wouldn’t be surprised if something you didn’t know could happen until I informed you, happened?
I wouldn’t expect the payment to fail, but I wouldn’t be surprised either if I couldn’t keep games that I didn’t pay for. And I wouldn’t compare either this to sony removing games you paid for (without the payment being rejected).
Holy shit are you obtuse. No. Steam can revoke your licenses if you don’t pay for them. And that is a completely different thing than revoking your license after you paid for them without a refund. One of them is taking from you stuff that you didn’t pay for in the first place. The other one is taking from you stuff that you paid for. Do you understand the difference between paying for something and not paying for something?
I mean, you are saying that valve does the same thing as sony yet it’s not the same thing at all and when someone points this out, you just ignore it? I’ll ask it again: do you understand the difference between paying and not paying for something?

I’ve had my downloaded purchases from a humble bundle deleted from my PC after a couple days because the payment processor failed

I don’t see how a different situation has anything to do with it? You can make any judgement you like but the facts are the facts

Those are the facts.
You’re the one holding the grudge lmao. I just told you it can happen
Yeah it happens if you’re scamming them and not paying, oh wow what a surprise
On Sony it happens if you legitimately pay for a thing you’re supposed to be able to keep in your library.
Kind of a different thing completely, but it seems you can’t tell the difference.
You don’t need to be so sour that you misunderstood the situation. It happens.

Exactly what did you expect to happen? Were you expecting to keep the games that you didn’t pay?
I didn’t expect the payment to fail and I definitely didnt expect the games I started playing to be deleted from my harddrive. Are you trying to say you wouldn’t be surprised if something you didn’t know could happen until I informed you, happened?

Yeah, if Sony retroactively returned the payment I wouldn’t be quite as bothered
You didn’t know steam can delete your games, now you do. You’re welcome

Seems the only obtuse one is you. You keep harping on irrelevant things unprompted. Good luck!
