    Insurgency: Sandstorm. Because I’ve wasted 600+ hours on it and still going strong. I’m literally not getting anything from the game but I still have to play it. It’s like what I assume being hooked on meth would be. And Steam doesn’t even allow me in my moments of lucidity to remove the game permanently. Their “permanently remove game from my account” option can be rolled back with about 3 clicks from the support page. I feel like I need to throw away my whole Steam account that I’ve been accumulating since 200x just to get rid of that one game.

    Then sometimes I see other players whose levels are double or triple my level. Which means they have to be playing 4-8 hours every single day. It’s like having a bit of trouble with meth yourself and then wandering into a full-ass crackhouse.

    Many other games have been a waste of money, but Insurgency is a huge waste of time and mental resources. Which is money.

      Can’t you ask support to remove the game if you don’t like it anymore? I think so.

        I don’t know how to reach human support via Steam. Do I need to contact the developer?

          You can try reaching out normally or clicking in the support page for a game until you find the option “contact steam support”.

          I haven’t used steam support much but apparently it’s pretty good nowadays.

          And to be clear, you have tried the support option “I want to permanently remove this game from my account” under the support tab for your specific game, right? I have never used it but it sounds like it’s permanent and non reversible.

            Yeah, I have. This is the thing I mentioned in my original message. You can restore a “permanently removed game” in about a minute. Not sure why they call it that.
