I did a distribution upgrade via zypper and noticed steam was gone after. I looked in the repos and found steam appears to have been removed. I attempted to install the flatpak version but it appears to be impossible to get steamVR running in the flatpak version of steam, and I had a lot of other issues as well though I got most of those working. Is there an alternate steam installation method for tumbleweed? I do a lot of VR gaming in Linux and this is a big issue for me. Thanks!
Steam is readily available in the non-OSS repo. Check your repo list.

no steam here that I can find
Always show the command AND the output. We can’t see over your shoulder and don’t know what you are doing.
Also provide the output of the second command.

As already written in the first comment, Steam is available in the non-oss repo. In your case it is named repo-non-oss.
BUT you have disabled this repo for whatever reason. By default it is enabled. If you want to use Steam you need to enable this repo.
Go to YaST-> Software repositories-> mark the "repo-non-oss " repo-> Enable-> Apply
No excuse for my abject stupidity, apologies for wasting everyone’s time, thank you very much for the assist.
