Question about deleting games from library.

What do you mean "be flagged" ? You won't be refunded unless you played less than 2 hours, bought the game less than 15 days ago (IIRC) on the Store.

edit : removing a game you won on steamgifts will have you put in the position of those who don't activate their games and prevent you from entering sgtools giveaways

How is this possible ?

No, you aren't. Steam just simply removes it, no money lost for them.

Are you saying when you refund a game, cards drop every 2 hours? Well, I refunded a few games this week and played Divide by Sheep for 4 hours and have all 3 cards from it.

Removing a game from your account is likely different than requesting a refund. I doubt there is any punishment than really throwing away money. You can still recover the game somehow, though.

I will add that the option to permanently remove a game is not the same as requesting a refund. Refund has several requirements, whereas removing a game - without being refunded - has none of these requirements.

No, you only get the card drop restrictions if you've ever done a refund. The only other way i know of that people have been hit by the 2 hour waiting period is by having a key revoked - specifically, Drunk Wizards.

For all the people who weren't aware - After people complained about the two hour wait, card drops were reverted to the way they used to be, but only for people who have never done a refund. If you've ever asked for a refund, they put you on the list of potential card exploiters and you will never get cards before two hours ever again.

Thanks for everyone that helped me. Im going to close thread now.
