Delete GTA V from library and buy it again (?
So, i got perma ban from GTA Online, yadayadayada, i want to buy it again, but i hate play thru launchers like Socialclub games, steam is the yolo, the swag, you know,
you can delete permanently a game from your steam library, i want to know if i delete GTA V and buy it again, creating a new sociaclub account, when i download the new gta v will steam launch it as like the banned one ? i mean, socialclub will recognize my steam id as banned and ban my new gta too?

Right click the game to find the forum for the game.

You won't get a new key. Buy it on another account or from another retailer and make a new R* account with that key.

Technically the question is about steam too, so no, i'm not going to the gtav, sorry.

The answer remains the same. If you remove it from your account and buy it again, you get the exact same key.

The problem is, i don't want to redownload these 50 gbs again, steam uses the whole speed to download, the rockstar games would take a lot of time, do you know if there is another way? :/

Why would you need to re-download it. Removing from your account doesn't mean deleting the game on your PC.

You cannot delete GTA from your steam library . The accounts Steam and Social Club are permanently linked .
You want to play , need to get new steam account + social club account .

You get refund only if you played max 2 hours , or had the game less than 2 weeks

You can use backup , only the account is banned not the game it self .

Sorry about your luck. You will need only to register for a new Steam account and a new Social Club account.

The game files will not care how they are started, as long as they see they are valid or licensed. You can copy the folder over to the new Steam directory, or use the Backup & Restore feature.

thanks, another question, if i create a new steam account, i must choose another directory, right?
my actual account is on D>user>folder i would use D but my brother deletes my steam when he gets mad at me, so i hide my steam on some folder in my user lol

By the way, if you keep on getting banned, you'll get the death penalty, which is that they'll lock your IP out of the game. Meaning you'll have to do even more just to get on. I hope you learned your lesson and stop cheating.
