Pro tip: Have a physical disk version of a steam game in your library. If you need your account back, Steam support will provide you a code to write near the CD-key and send in a photo of it. Got back my account this way in 3 hours.

Sure! They asked me proof that it's my account so they sent me a random code, and asked me to write it on the CD case of the game in a way, that both the code and the CD key of the game was visible, and take a picture of it, proving that I am holding the physical copy of the game that is activated on my account.

I haven't bought a physical game in probably 20 years. And I don't see myself going back in the next 20 years either.

Sounds great, sorry to be of confusion. 😅👍

On a side note Hunt Showdown is a very fun game and the well known compound Forked River Fishery is a fun place to get into fights.

Edit i responded before your addendum, we do in fact call the compound in hunt showdown that.
