Useful info, especially if someone hijacks your account and goes rampage.

I would assume if the hijacking is established as true by Steam support, all actions would be reverted.

Here is some not so hidden stuff for people or animals, you can put it in your description if you want.

Welp, I'm wrong.
I'm not sure what causes the issue, but it could be this: All my failed transactions evidently have more than one entry on the help desk side. Or then I'm just on another wild goose chase.

[Dec 26, 2011 - Purchased as part of: Beat Hazard Complete - view receipt | Sent to Janzeus]
[Aug 16, 2011 - Received as a gift or in trade]
This license striked me slightly odd at first: http://i.imgur.com/yno8Qej.png due to the whole
[Dec 5, 2015 - Added to your Steam library]. It turned out my brother's library had this game as well, so it made another entry there.
I then decided to remove my brother's library by removing the entry from under Steam\config\config.vdf "AuthorizedDevices". and look what happened: http://i.imgur.com/sCrF5lg.png It became one entry long; instead of the former two: And it was retrievable again.
Then I figured I'll use a previously successful one and make a gift purchase (adding an entry to it) and see how it acts:
- Before: Screenshot #1
- After: Screenshot #2
It "seems" that once I made it two entries long, it became unretrievable. It could still be coincidental, but who knows.
Sorry guys, looks like I made this post for nothing. Good thing is, there's no retroactivity issues after all, I suppose.
Bad thing is, there's still some issues with retrieving some stuff, but it's probably fixed on a later date.
I still can't return Bad Rats at this date. But I hope that day will come again!

I removed a bundle Game to reuse it on another account with no luck, the key still appears to be used. Now I don't have the game on either account :/

Can you retrieve it from the Support -link? Take the game's APP-ID from the Store -page and utilize here:

Support Link with another account or the same account the game was at? Because I want it on another account. Not the same that the game was.

Removing a game won't make the key used to activate it valid again. Retrieve it on the account the game was in as it is not possible to transfer it to second account.

Ok so why this option even exist? To remove games that you purchased? Why not better Hide game option? Even like the highly critized Uplay and origin has a hide game option weird right? Yet Steam has a new weird way of hide a game. ok.... Thanks for the aswser :)

Steam has hiding option too but earlier people could contact support to remove game permanently from their account and now they have made an automated process for that. Reasons for doing so can be various for example removing censored or region locked version of game to activate regular version, people who don't want games to show in their account at all like adult games or negatively reviewed games...

would someone hijack an account to just delete all the person's games... that seems kind of I don't know, messed up even for a hacker. for the most part I thought hackers would steal your inventory, maybe buy some games, try to try our your passwords on other sites. Then again this is 2015 and people just seem to enjoy harming others..

EDIT 2: See #4 post.
As is mentioned here: click
You can now remove games from your Steam -account via the game's Support -page.
I was wondering how retroactive this is, so I browsed around the Steam -forums and came across this thread:

Pheace's retail license is from 2011. So I'd like to assume a retail license once removed, can be retrieved back after as the image goes to show.
However, I then decided to try this with acquired Steam gifts and games bought from the Steam Store, and the results were slightly different.
Date Acquired
Date Acquired
Should the 'Dec. 18th, 2014' purchase become unretrievable upon removal after the 18th day, I'd probably assume they become unretrievable should they be older than 365 days. That, or I've got some terrible luck with the licenses I chose to test the retroactivity with.
Here hoping an official FAQ would just come and clear all this up. I don't know if this holds any weight but I figured I might as well share it here too.
EDIT: Goes to show how I'm not used to SG's formatting. :D
EDIT 2: Sorry, looks like I was wrong!
