Got any sources for that? Only ever heard of them removing a game from sale, not removing it from someone who has already bought it.
Also GOG don’t do this, they are unable to uninstall a game you have downloaded already.
Steam also does this btw

Yep, GOG doesn’t have the ability but Valve absolutely does. When my payment for a humble bundle failed (so, added to library and installed before the payment was resolved) Steam removed the games from my library AND drive

Oh, removing stuff you didn’t pay for is pretty understandable tbh.

Agreed. It’s in the Steam subscriber agreement, along with “any reason we see git”

I’ve seen stuff pulled from the steam store so it’s no longer available for purchase/adding to my library, but the ones I already added, even undownloaded, have always still been available in my library, even if the game was fully defunct.

I’ve had my downloaded purchases from a humble bundle deleted from my PC after a couple days because the payment processor failed

Exactly what did you expect to happen? Were you expecting to keep the games that you didn’t pay?

That’s a substantially different situation, I don’t see how you can reasonably equate Sony removing game data from people’s console post-purchase due to them no longer maintaining any servers to play on with Valve not letting you keep a game that was not properly paid for in the first place.

I don’t see how a different situation has anything to do with it? Sorry it happened? You can make any judgement you want but the facts are the facts
