Wow, this is awful. Some people reported that these ads are also very petty and not necessarily related to the game, like apparently Elden Ring shows an ad for a licensed mousepad when you hover over the game now…...
Crazy stuff… Ads everywhere. Makes my choice to not buy any console this generation seem a lot better. It saved me money and I don’t get ads forced on me. I call that a win win.
I would argue that it’s a handheld PC since it’s not locked down to heck and back. It would also be the one thing I would buy but I have no use case for it so I don’t.
I don’t really play many multiplayer FPS games. But a while ago I discovered Splitgate and I really liked it. It’s the only multiplayer FPS I’ve played much of. But I’ve stopped playing it because development has stopped and also I was experiencing occasional stutters on Linux....
Right… Splitgate and splitgate 2 are lies. What you experienced are probably mostly if not all bit matches instead of playing with and against other players. But that is besides the question.
Realistically there have been no actual good games in that niche in recent years (less than 10 years old) and the old ones are either dead unless you like botmatches or have a tiny community that is really REALLY good and will wipe the floor with you.
Anyhow Quake 3 (good luck) Tribes 2 (good luck) Unreal tournament 2004 (good luck obtaining legally, also good luck) Halo (LoL last decent one was reach on 360) There’s more but those are even more niche than the big ones already listed.
There are reasons for why that is possible, for better or worse.
To reverse malicious actions that may have been taken by other people that got access to the account for any reason for example.
There may even be legal reasons for why that is the case. Licensing law can be quite complicated.
And then there is the fact that if it’s hidden it’s effectively gone anyways and that may actually be what people actually care about. Not whether or not they technically still have that game or not. People wanting a clean library is a thing and it ties into the concept that is the right to be forgotten.
Yet… Ubisoft did go and “remove” the keys for the crew when they shut that one down. No one but them can really say if they actually deleted them or not. though I have my doubts with how that company has acted in recent years.

TIL I can restore games on Steam, which I removed years ago
Silly me removed about 70 games from Steam library years ago. Today I have restored most of them via Stem support page and with purchases history.
