Looking over my finances, I have three things I still directly pay for:

Steam (though I last bought a game months ago), Nebula, and various google services. Google is really hard to get around for a number of reasons in my current situation. I rely on voice for 2fa for my banks in the US (though I'm hoping they eventually support authy or something). Losing those US accounts is not possible right now (in the worst case, using a US payment method and address may make steam revoke my entire existing game collection for being outside the rights/distribution area I bought from).

Nebula feels bad. I really like supporting several of those creators and love their content. I may continue to support them.

I had one other thing I'm letting expire.

Other than that, my domains are already through a European registrar and I think everything else is Japanese.

I moved from Canada to the UK, all I did was change my location, no games removed from my library.

They don't always do it, but they can and that scares me.

Fair enough, glad they didn't nuke mine then
