[QUOTE="pushdrops, post: 275294, member: 3971"] Hi [MENTION=134]shutyertrap[/MENTION] The strange thing is I didn't even see how I'm logging into a TPA acct from within Steam. I do have a TPA acct and logged into it and I do not see the purchases (keep in mind it is possible that the TPA acct i'm logging into via their site is not the same TPA acct that I'm logged into within Steam / TPA <if I am even logged into a TPA acct within my Steam setup at all>). I'll have to try to see how to determine exactly which TPA acct i'm currently signed into within Steam (if any - I checked all settings quickly over the weekend and didn't see where I'm signed into to any sort of TPA acct within my Steam setup when playing TPA via Steam) - if I can indeed determine which TPA acct I'm signed into within Steam which is showing the 5 season packs I just bought (which only show up within "in-game" and not as DLC within Steam itself) so that at least I'll have a chance to make sure I somehow setup the same TPA acct within Steam on my next PC in case that improves the chances that these 5 table packs will remain as available on a brand new PC installation. This is so silly that Farsight assured everyone the tables / seasons etc would be avail thru and including the end of June (6/31) yet by Friday evening 6/30 the items were removed from Steam leaving folks to either chance never having access to the Bally / WMS tables again ever under the platform or purchasing via in-game as a "workaround" that is leaving folks unsure that their hard earned $$$$ bought them items that will 100% be avail within Steam in the future. I guess this is what I get for buying 2 days prior to the expiration date of 7/1 but I had surgery and was unable to buy the season packs earlier as planned and barely had a chance to buy them 6/30 only to find them "missing" early. Farsight really could have advised folks in advance that the items would not possibly be avail in Steam all the way thru the end of June as was told. I have no issue with the workaround purchase process within "in-game" which was a little painful for buying so many items (constantly going thru the process of adding $$$ to my Steam wallet and then buying a packet, repeat 5x) , I can deal with that "hassle" it's just that I'm not into Steam at all and had no idea the items wouldn't appear as DLC (normal purchases) and I really wish the 5 season's were showing as DLC & would have gotten someone to buy them for me while I was in the hospital rather than wait until 6/30 and end up in this situation where "hopefully" I should be fine for "now" at least if re-installing and even years down the line - but instead of "hopefully" i'd rather them appear as DLC.
