Where are my 100% completed Episodes?!?!?!?! (Short Answer Tools)

[Warrior of Right]

Where does Valve get off removing our completed games from our libraries and then making the game free for others that doesn't benefit us that bought the game at release a decade ago....

Had another game just magically removed from my library recently...
so they get to just remove licenses from our accounts now without our consent?!?!?!?!?
Cool... (first broken steam pipe then they did it with Counter Skins Go Child Gambling Offensive now this)

Went from having 3 complete games to NONE?!?!
Who thought this was a good idea?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??!?!?!

Swear to god if they remove my completed Portal 2 from my account....
(completing the coop for 2 was like pulling teeth)


Update: The Episodes still appear in Tools but not in the Games tab or small mode.
Also apparently if you launch Half-Life 2 now it will auto pop the Episode Achievements.
(So at least they technically only added and didn't remove)

Not for me tho....
"You must be logged in to Steam to unlock or view Achievements"
So not only will they not auto repop i prob can't earn them again period as the gnome trophy didn't even pop....
Way to "fix" what wasn't broken and then break it Valve

Also it will take your saves from the Episodes with original timestamps and add them to Half-Life 2 which is good but Episode 1 Chapters are still locked but it unlocked Episode 2 Chapters?
So they even messed that up..................

i am not carrying that gnome across ALL of Episode 2 again....

[Carris137]

I still have episode 1 (never did ep2)

it's free for 2 days. it's not that bad. and those games were not taken from you but were put together in one build. they are still tied to your account,

Just reinstall Episodes 1 and 2... launch them... launch HL2... your achievements are back!

Didn't work for me

[Warrior of Right]

So when i launch Half life 2 all my episodes achievements will pop?!!
(obviously without my original timestamps)

[DJsquare3 (Nebula)]

Episode 1 and 2 are still in your Library under the tools section. launch them both once then launch the base Half life 2 game again. All of them should pop at once. Worked for me.

Yeah, I just opened the updated game and all the episode achievements started popping up... It was quite a surprise

[Warrior of Right]

Like i said that won't give us our original timestamps but that's better than nothing i guess.
(even if they show up elsewhere they do not show up 100% completed in my game list)

[Warrior of Right]

Where are the tools???
That doesn't show up in my game library?

(All i have are Games, Software and VR)

Edit: Had Tools disabled because i have 100+ of them.
So if i want to have the Episodes show up in my list again i have to have 100+
entries of clutter as well.. not a great alternative.....
(and even if i turn them all back on and want the clutter they only show up in the newe library not in the small mode list)

and Half-Life Source was removed from sale? when did that happen?!?
Would of much preferred they fixed HL Source and gave us Episode 3.


Also why didn't this show up in the announcements in the library tab?!?
(have like 3 TF2 announcements about tournaments and stuff but not Half-Life 2 big 20th Anniversary that adds and removes content actually and the game that started this whole Steam $hit)

Why is it downloading/updating the Episodes and Lost Coast and not just 2...

Yes i see that now.. (and yes they removed them from Games just not entirely)
forgive me for assuming that would of been the case after what happened with Counter Skins GO
They didn't remove them just hid them very well.....

you can still buy HL:source in bundles, they unlisted it when they did the big og updated, cause many considered og to be the real version

Then like i said maybe they should fix source then and while they at it give us Episode 3 since Valve is apparently able to "with multiple teams release episodic episodes every few months" and not every few decades or not at all....
