infyrin: People have preferences where some do not want to have a program running all the time to play said game.
I've drawn down my reasons for wanting to remove a Steam game and it's down to this:
- If it has NO achievements on it
- None of it's features are fused with the Steam client itself
- The ability to actually have a DRM-free game without it being removed if I removed it from Steam so that way I can make some games a little more exclusive.
- I don't like the ability of relying on Steam Cloud and having to re-download through Steam's servers over and over again. Having an offline installer is much better.
SirPrimalform: I think you misunderstood my post. I understand completely not wanting to play the game on Steam. What I don't understand is why you'd want to actually remove it from your account? I totally understand preferring the GOG version to the Steam version, but why not just ignore the Steam version? I've drawn down my reasons for wanting to remove a Steam game and it's down to this:
