Eh, even shitty games I think I'll keep, I'll just put them in my "Shit" folder.

Ah, at least that makes a little more sense. Just wiping it from your inventory/purchase history for life could be a recipe for disaster (both on the consumer/customer service ends).Looks like you can get games back if you change your mind.

Then this thread isn't for you.
I'm sure there are other threads that you can visit to not understand things in. Maybe go to the Halo 5 thread and not understand why people want to talk about Halo 5.

This is useful for removing F2P games you tried once and will never touch again.
Like DOTA2.
Like DOTA2.
If you have hundreds of games, chances are at least a couple are just crap that you don't even want to bother scrolling past ever again. This just lets you do some spring cleaning, nothing more than that.

It doesn't matter how much time you put on the game?
All those humble bundles excess games begone!

no, you would need to refund.
this is for deleting shit like duke nukem forever, bad rats, the phantom pain, warz (or whatever the fuck its called now) or all that humble bundle trash people got for no reason other than getting 10 games for $1

This. Is. Awesome.
I've got a ton of games I'll be getting rid of this way. OCD sated.

I guess this is a feature that should of always been there, but I honestly don't get the point. I mean why remove the game? Just don't play it. If you got a small credit back for removing it then I'd see the point, but as it stands you literally gain nothing from removing it and it just seems like a generally pointless activity. Don't know, I guess I just don't get it.

I seriously can't understand why anyone would use this, is the game's mere existence as a part of your library offensive?

I have 341 titles hidden, so it'll be a while before I get the house cleaned again. Thanks for sharing this by the way.
Edit: Think of it as a donation to a great cause, not because the game(s) are actually bad or anything.

Will this work with the redundant Mac launchers like for GTA and Civilization? Can I also remove the Serious Sam Classic games and keep the HD versions?

Pretty much, I'd agree with this. I'm OCD. I just nuked over over 200 games and I feel amazing.
Anything that I had another version of on another platform... gone.
Anything I got as part of a bundle I didn't want... gone.
Anything I hadn't touched in years or at all... gone.
I've been waiting for a feature like this for a long time. Now I look at my games list and go "Yeah, I'm down to play any of this stuff." No junk. Beautiful.
Thanks for the tip. I got rid of Dungeon Defenders, There Was An Echo, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dream and Beat Hazard. 3 of them I got in a bundle with some other games I wanted and one was gifted to me by accident (Giana Sisters).
A long time ago, I had Counter Strike Source that was bundled with Half-Life 2 and somewhere in time, they all disappeaered... Never played CSS. HL2 (and extensions) scared the f* out of me forever. But Steam was kind enough to remove them for me without me asking.

Well, it seems like in some cases, the beta is considered part of a "package" with the base game. You either remove it all or nothing.
I was just meant with disappointment trying to get rid of this.
Friend wanted me to play this with her a few years ago. Not even friends with them anymore and I didn't like the game much.
That playtime forever there to haunt me.
DC Universe is like a drunken tattoo that I can't ever burn off.
It's forever.
its weird, i was able to delete other f2p games.
this one will just haunt us forever i guess
So annoying, I can't remove Metro 2033 even though I have the Redux edition. The problem is that I bought it with the original version which I was easily able to delete. But then I also own the Humble Bundle THQ collection and the entire collection has to be deleted... Such an useless feature, grrrr.
I also can't remove L4D2 beta because it removes the base game too, same with all the other betas...
What do I look for to remove all the prototypes from Amnesia Fortnight? Searching doesn't find them.

It would have been cool if you could gift games from your library that you no longer play or want instead of just deleting them permanently.
Yes it would, but this is a MUCH belated feature Im happy to see
