1. Find game here... https://help.steampowered.com/en/

2. Select game.

3. Choose "I want to permanently remove..."

Is the current Support > "I want to permanently remove this game from my account" too many steps?

It's not a permanent remove. You can restore your game anytime. He has right, we should be able to remove permanently games that we so not want any more!

Valve doesn't want to deal with people complaining because they deleted a game and regret it, or "Help, a hacker deleted my library!"

The reason it is "not" permanent is due to the licence for the game being deactivated and as a consumer you still have that product, hence why you can restore it.

Secondly users will forget they "actually" permanently deleted a game, (if the option was available) and blame Valve and Steam Support for removing games from their account.

And finally if the option to permanently remove games (delete them) was actually an option a scammer with access to your account would be able to do that and the games could not be restored.

I think steam can hold the permanently remove for 30 days before we change our minds

I knew about it but i feel it just like a way to hide them. These are some really bad old games i just want to permanently remove from account. If Steam can let me delete my account and why this not ?

You own a licence to the game which can be deactivated, activated, you do not own the game, and why permanently remove is not deletion, it is an advanced hide.

Steam did in the past. And the result was Support getting bothered by the many who had regrets. So it got changed to how it now is.

I don't believe it should be actually permanent. Especially not with hijackers who often enough "permanently" remove the library of their victims for ♥♥♥♥♥ and giggles.

Deleting an account requires extensive proof of ownership to actually get it done. Not comparable as such draconian measures don't fit deleting a game.

I see but if Steam add this feature, i willing to give any proof of ownership if they require. At least Steam has some support for case like mine

What is the point though? The advanced hide does the exact same thing as what you are wanting, but is reversable. What benefit would there be to do the exact same thing but make it non reversable?

[Kitt 🌟 Stargazer]

Just for the sake of curiosity. What real benefits came come from this?

Clean some trash games i guess

Again though, what does permanently removing them do that the current system doesn't do? You can already remove them and clean them out and you won't see them unless you go really digging and looking for them

[TGC> The Games Collector]

You can already hide games from yourself in the library, you can hide em from friends too.

You can contact support to have a game removed from your account.
Free games can be instantly deleted from the library btw.

I really don't see what more should be added to what we already have in this area.
