Can I Rebuy A Deleted Game?

[Bender]

I want to restart on Siege and not really interested in buying it on UPlay, is it possible to rebuy the game so I can link it to a new UPlay account?

That's a shame, why can you "permanently" delete a game from your library and it doesn't actually do anything? Seems pointless IMO.

It's a safety barrier so if a users account becomes compromised, the hijacker can't maliciously remove all their games.

You could probably contact Ubisoft and unlink your Steam account and then buy a fresh licence which will overwrite your old one and then link a new uPlay account. I'm not sure but games like that aren't intended to be started again unless you do it again on a fresh account though.

They won't it's against their terms of service according to them, they were ♥♥♥♥♥ about it to, they claimed they could and then after about a week of giving them information to both of my accounts and jumping through hoops they told me they couldn't help me.

It wouldn’t make any difference, to be honest. James has forgotten something - there’s no way to buy a fresh licence on the same Steam account. Even if you removed the game and did manage to rebuy it, you’d just get the same key again.

I have a feeling that you may be blocked from rebuying stuff now though... I could swear I saw someone else say that the store points out that you already have a copy that you can undelete.

A fresh licence requires fresh Steam and UPlay accounts - no way around it.

People complained for a long time about not being able to delete games from our accounts, and then Valve made it the way it is now.

Aside from hijackers just deleting games out of spite, Valve knows people will change their minds later, and complain even more, and want the games back.

So no, it's not really "permanent".

Perhaps they should make it where if it remains deleted for a extended period of time it will eventually be removed permanently. Anyway I sent a support ticket to Steam, hopefully they will be able to sort out my problem.

How is that, they still have the buy the game every time they get banned.

It won't solve the issue.

The point is people WILL complain whether five days into the future, fiver months, or five years.

That's true but it's not always dumbarses either. Sometimes it's scammers and bad actors, other times it's just inexperience.

It's a sad necessity whenever you get to be universal.
