    About the lease thing I agree, but Steam didn’t really remove any games, if they did was because the original devs decided so.

            From what I can read, the dev himself removed the game because of “stress”. Steam has previously removed the game for copyright reasons, but readmitted it afterward.

            The stress was due to the huge popularity the game got thanks to YouTube and Twitch.

            Rejecting is different than removing.

            I don’t know what the problem is between the Steam Store and itch, but your Google search confirmed what I just said: Steam never removed a game just because; they removed games that break copyright rules or their TOS.

                Just miscommunication then. All game platforms did that, so I don’t understand your point on bringing this up. Sony, removed Mobile Games from PsVita. Apple removed Fortnight from AppStore (and countless other apps). Probably Microsoft did that too.

                I don’t know what you’re complaining about.

                    There are other instances where Valve is very pro users.

                    1. Return policy: you can return any game, if you play it less than 1 hour.
                    2. Valve works with iFixit to distribute parts and repair guides for the Steam Deck.
                    3. When Steam Deck launched, Valve replaced many Steam Decks devices, even if it was literally an user’s misuse or mistake.
