Steam removes it from the store. It's still in my library and I can still download it anytime.

That's been my experience.

Your experience is not reality. Steam has completely removed several games.

My experience is not reality? lol what?

Can you show my where this is not the case? I have several games in my library that are no longer for sale on the store because the publisher removed them, yet I can still download and install them.

I am willing to say there probably is an exception to every rule, so go ahead, do you have a library item that no longer can be downloaded?

That's good to know.
Thank you confirming what I was hoping for.
