Pointing out that Sony (apparently) making Concord unable to be downloaded again is not at all like how Valve lets delisted games usually still be downloaded by people who owned those games is the opposite of conflation. Conflation is when you say Valve is just like Sony when it comes to delisted games in that they both don't let you download the game files again even though that's false for one of those companies.

Do you not realize what you said with these lines?

Everyone lost access to their files when Valve allowed Sony to pull Concord from Steam.

Or when Valve pulled Total War Arena, The Day Before, The Culling 2, etc.

Did you think you named the actual publishers for those games this whole time and didn't realize you put it all at the feet of Valve? Did you not remember that you said Valve has the power to allow a publisher to delist their games or not?

If you're going to repeatedly attribute statements to me that I've never made in bad faith then I see no reason to continue this conversation.
