Unlink Steam account from a game
Hello,
I play a F2P game which is linked to my Steam account (uses Steam for auth and ingame purchases), and I want to unlink it, but the support of this game told me that it's against Steam policy to do so.
Weird thing is that I saw other games that provide this, so I was wondering if this is only for some games or did they make it up to don't let me unlink it?

The game is called Warface (not Warframe)

I'll appreciate any help on this matter.

Since my.com took over, I am not sure if they will allow it. Crytek never allowed unlinking.

I'm aware that Crytek once provided that service, which is also why I find it weird that now it's against "Steam policy" to unlink accounts.
Maybe they have different agreements with {LINK REMOVED} than they did with Crytek.

I want to unlink it because they disabled access to their marketplace (not Steam's) for Steam users due to some players commiting fraud with stolen credit cards, this was over 5 months ago.

Recently they enabled it only for non-Steam users, even though the access to the marketplace is paid (I paid for 3 different global operations, each granting access to the marketplace).

Not sure why Steam still allows them the game to be in their platform, since the company is selling you things through their platform, and then taking it away with no ETA on when it'll return.

Steam is basically a passive 3rd party in this. They couldn't unlink the account even if they wanted to, because Steam doesn't do anything when companies "link" your account.

References to a "Steam policy" preventing the unlink are either a blatant lie, or a misunderstanding on YOUR side as they might have referred to THEIR Steam policy.
This is what they said on an article:

Unfortunately, convertions back from Steam account into {LINK REMOVED} account contradict the policy of Steam games: we are just not allowed to do that

{LINK REMOVED}

That statement is about *their* policy concerning steam games.
I can't find anything about Steam games on their policy though, nor about unlinking accounts.
