Steam now lets you remove games from your account, for good

4.3
If you really want to, you can now delete games from you Steam account.

Some people have more games on Steam than they’ll ever have time to play. Some of these are just terrible friend joke gifts, bundle extras they couldn’t get rid of, or maybe games they bought but no longer wish to own.

Steam now appears to have added an option for removing any abomination you do not wish to have associated with your Steam account. Remember, doing this does not get you a refund, it just removes it from your library.

The feature was noticed by Reddit user Jay_Nullbuilt, and you can try it out yourself by going to Steam’s help site.

The user also notes that games that were part of bundles can’t be removed individually, and the whole bundle has to go. This is true for both Steam bundles, and ones that all shared the same key – such as the ones offered by some bundle sites. Don’t fret though, the page will show you everything getting removed when you request a game to be removed.

I don't see the point of this. You already had the option to hide games. I personally have all the bad games own in one category. It isn't hard to organize unless you're just lazy.

60z does steam have a smallish storage space ? why would PC users buy a game too delete it ?


We must forgive this guy as he has not witnessed the master race first hand.

Steam is not a storage device. You can own 1,000 games but only have 1 installed. The amount of games you have installed depends on your harddrive size. PC gamers can have up to, and not limited to, 10TB of storage if they wanted to. This feature just allows them to no longer own a crappy game that no one plays anymore. Free games are removed from your library automatically when uninstalled. Games that are paid or even .01 cent stay in your library even when uninstalled. Say that .01 cent game was crap and you no longer want it in your library, now you can remove it.

Pc gamers have so many game choices, paid and free, that our library of games are sometimes very disorganized and we wish to no longer own a game that literally costed us .49 cents (bad rats) and choose remove it.

Saki I don't see the point in this, I doubt there's any significant amount of people out there who spent hard earned money on a game and decided they want to remove a game from their library so they can never play it ever again.

This is why I prefer console over PC, nothing silly like that over on Xbox Live that's for sure.


You mean something they've added hours ago is what makes you perfer console over PC?

I find this highly useful in a bit of ways.

I don't understand why people
would buy games just to delete them when they stop playing it.

But it would be fair when a friend deletes it as a joke and they could
never get it back

That's pretty cool, mainly for "free" games you wouldn't want on there anymore. I like how the picture is also Fallout 4 lol.

WakPosted:

Hm. I don't have any steam games that I want to delete possibly 1-2 outdated games that I no longer play.
