Deleting a game to buy another version

[GaoGao]

Hey guys
I was thinking to delete/remove a game (Rainbow Six Starter Edition) to buy another version of the game that is (Rainbow Six Standard Edition) because Starter Edition doesnt offers much.So my question is,Is it a good idea to delete the same game to just get another version of it? and does it actually work?

I dont believe it makes any difference, it may be gone in your library but it perminently exists on Steam forever.
Even when we request it deleted Steam just hides it and you can get it back.
Backup your saves and just install the new edition it will appear beneath old version.

I didn't know you could delete games, but my question would be can't you just buy it and it upgrade it? I would think because you own the game it would offer a discount on it even.

An extra $3.50 to have the unlocks instead of grinding your way to unlock them? Tough choice. Do you want access to the content now or can you wait?

Removing the game to purchase a edition with more content is fine.

You can even purchase the same exact game again. The old license will reactivate. That is all.

They are not the same game. They are 2 completely different games. You can't upgrade Skyrim to Special Edition. 1 is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit. I got SE free when it was released for owning the original Legendary Edition. If you own both, both will show up.

No. Because you would not need to get rid of the original. They are 2 completely different games with separate store pages.

There is no upgrade for Skyrim. Think of the SE as a remaster like Metro and Metro Redux.

So deleting the Starter Edition will permanently remove the game without any backup data or cloud saves,and when I buy the Standard Edition it will come as a fresh new game is it?

No. All data will still be there. Only the in-game content will change. It will tell you this when you go through the deletion.

You better read or ask at ubi, it could possibly be impossible to change your STEAM version of rs6.
It was mentioned as opposite of what could be done with the game on their client.

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

You are just buying the upgrades when going from Starter to Standard. The version is the same with a few unlocks.

[Muppet among Puppets]

Maybe they changed it.
Dont find the section where it said, only the uplay version can be upgraded. But still find the "easiest way to upgrade is by getting ingame currency" bit.
Also the starter edition gives now 2x3 operators, instead of 2.
