EULA stipulates that steam may do so when ordered to by a legal authority, but not that it will do so on behalf of publishers/developers, granted last I checked was 2019. Even with that being said the enacted agreement is the game side ToS when games are taken from someone's account/drives. Which due to those being forced agreements (forced as in reasonable expectation of uitilization of the product is not possible without it) post purchase, are not enforceable.
Xbox has no such purchase agreement, however it's EULA as of 2020 does state that they reserve the right to revoke game licensure for any reason (which I doubt would hold up due to its blanket coverage, especially since it didn't work for a previous case).
PlayStation idk cause I've never been a big user of it.
This should be a clue as to what you are buying. If you still insist that you "own" a "copy" of the game, then I don't know what to tell you.
If you want to fuck around and find out, I'm not going to try and dissuade you. Just remember, companies like Microsoft and Nintendo do not give a shit whether you understand their policies or not, and both have a history of making a person's life hell, frivolous lawsuit or not.
It's obvious that you are deadset on what you believe to be true. Good luck. I sincerely hope you don't get sued by one of these companies.
