what does removing a game from my account do?

[ImperialForce9]

Do I still own it after removing it?

You still own it, yes. It is completely reversible at any time.

janswer: just removes the game just hide/unhide games from the steam library.

1)In the scenario you want to permanently remove a game from your account, that's possible aswell.

Log into Steam Support
Select Games, Software, etc.,
Select the game from the search function that shows up
Select the option: I want to permanently remove this game from my account.
Select the option: Ok, remove the listed games from my account permanently.
Repeat as many times as you have games you'd like to get rid of.

No. They changed the way it works and it will now tell you to restore the product you already own.

The remove from steam feature is just a glorified hide button, the actual license is permanently bound to your steam account. To restore the game you just visit help.steampowered.com and click this game is not in my library and follow the on-screen instructions to restore it.

You cannot re-buy the game when you remove a game from your library.

Not having it show up in your library and games list through your profile. Even if all your stats remain and still count towards the showcases.

oh they did? that's actually neat. On the other hand I don't even get why the feature ever existed in the first place but who am i to judge what people do on their accounts. Anyhow thanks for sharing
