Game fully removed, not sure when, how do I get back
I purchased Spore a few years ago, and I hadn't played it for about a year, I went to play it today and it was out of my library and I would need to repurchase it. Was this a stupid mistake on my end? Deleting the wrong file or such? Can I get it back without needing to pay another 20 bucks?

Maybe you hid it by accident? Click View -> Hidden Games.

You don't remove a game license simply by uninstalling it.

You can "remove games from their account" through the support page. You can also go to the support page, type in the name of the game and click on "The game is not in my library" If you deactivated it by mistake, you can reinstate it there.

The only other options for a game disappearing are that you're either using the wrong account, or have purchased the game on an unofficial 3rd party reseller website. If the game got deactivated, that site had gotten the key for the game illegally and the developers simply took it back.

The game is listed among your list of owned games.
