as a teenager i did a lot of business with shady key resellers. now i’m missing an unknown number of games from my library as a result of chargebacks and fraud. i’m fine to buy them again, but i’m gutted that i lost all my playstats, achievements, cloud saves, screenshots, etc. i’m not even sure what all is missing :/

    Wait, really? You lost your cloud data?

    if its steam, none of the stats are lost, if they repurchased the game they would have it again. You just can't buy a game you don't know is missing. I don't think cloud saves are ever deleted, I've had cloud saves be restored when I refunded and then humble choice provided me a key to the same game 4 years later.

    Yeah, I thought that was the case. But there has to be a way to see what games you have previously played.

    Like the other person said, you can check your Steam account to see every key redemption that you've ever done. I believe refunds should still appear on that. I'm not sure if Steam initiated refunds will though.
