Option to get off steam

[Zigabar]

I have an add-on question.

I currently have a PS4 platform version and a Steam platform version of ARR. Would it be possible to cancel the Steam version as if I never had a "PC" platform, while keeping my PS4 version, then adding a normal PC version to my account? If so, how would I go about this? I couldn't find any type of game cancellation button on Steam, but I'm also not very familiar with their website.

We all "agreed" to this in the enormous user rights page we are shown when we first sign up to Steam. I never read them, don't know anyone who did. Ran into a lawyer friend and tried to get him on Steam - he wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole after reading their "agreement" for users.

On steam, we technically don't even own the games we "buy" Steam does, and is giving us unlimited rights to play them as long as their servers remain up, and can revoke access at any time.

Ive done the same research and basically any digital platform you have to sign in to has the same policy. Xbox, Steam, Origin, and Id bet PSN as well, treat you as if you rented the game indefinitely and reserve the right to remove it at will. The only one of those listed Ive actually witnessed doing it is microsoft. After they remove very old games from the market you cant download them anymore if you deleted them from your HDD for some reason and good luck with customer support because they dont care.

No, sorry. They don't allow switching from Steam to non-Steam or removing platforms from your service account. Steam and non-Steam version of the PC are both counted as Windows, they just only allow one type of Windows game to be added per service account.

You can create/add to other service accounts, but that won't help much as you can't move characters between service accounts and you would have to start over (as well as buy a new version of the game for PS4 as that's already used with your existing service account).
