The more control over your privacy the better.
I was once (long ago) sick on Monday and my employer called me and told me that I should be able to come to work when I was able to play World of Warcraft on Sunday, because he looked my character up in the armory and saw me getting a boss kill or something.
I was sick, because I had my wisdom teeth removed on Monday morning....
People can get in all kinds of trouble because of their gaming habits. A game critical of religion or religious, a game about sexuality and/or gender, a political game about dictatorship or capitalism or unionizing. A historical game about something your country doesn't want you to know or a game that mentions Tian'anmen and Winnie-Puh. A game from a Russian developer that fled Russia when the war against Ukraine started and you are a gamer in Russia who wants to play it.
Good if Steam allows more control over our privacy, it took them long enough.
told me that I should be able to come to work when I was able to play World of Warcraft
From your name I assume you are German. In that case your employer could suck it, even if you played on Monday. You can do whatever the fuck you want if it doesn't conflict with you getting better. So if the doctor advises to stay in bed and sleep and you run around town for fun you could rightfully get in trouble. But if you have a broken leg you might not be fit for (your particular) work but could of course still play computer games. If you are on sick leave for mental problems you could even go on vacation because that might even benefit your mental health.
I on the other hand, make full use of the share widgets on porn sites. Goddammit you'll know when I bust.
Which hand exactly?
Fuck yeah, now I can enjoy Sex with Hitler 2 in peace
(For the love of God please know this is a joke)
Remove the second line no balls
Hitler wouldn't have sex with someone with more balls than him
Part 2 has been released? Oh boy!
This will make me more likely to buy certain games, absolutely. And it's really not that I feel ashamed or whatever about them, but more like, I know some people are judgey, and I'd rather not have them in the know lmao. Also work/professional stuff.
Yeah, I can see that. Your friends should not have to know if you like tsunderes unless you want to tell them.
Why would anyone use Steam accounts for professional stuff?
I've had my whole profile on private for years, lmao.
This would have saved me a lot of drama back when Hogwarts Legacy came out
Okay but don't fund the terf.
I wasn't funding a transphobic piece of shit, I was funding Avalanche Studios. They did good work on Disney Infinity and later they did good work on Hogwarts.
Sides JK Rowling made more from ticket sales today from Universal Studio then she will from the lifetime sales of this game.
Now my friends won't know I played ahead of the party in Baldurs Gate so I am get loot faster.
But my friends only message me when I'm in the middle of a boss fight in Nekopara.
Now I can finally hide all of those hours I spent playing Farming Simulator! Every 100 hours crossed just makes the guilty pleasure feel more guilty when I admit it.
I just have a second username with no friends on it for my Being a DIK type games.
come on man, just let me wank to VR porn in peace
I can't think of a reason why I would want to hide a game. What am I missing?
You're either a total cinnamon roll or a proud deviant.
Maybe they're a Cinnamon Deviant cross class build.
More likely a proud deviant first and foremost with like a 1 level dip into cinnamon role to get the "Parental Respect" feat. It's Pretty busted in the middle levels when you need a loan to put a down payment on a castle.
Steam is full of anime porn games.
For a long time there wasn't even a way to filter them meaningfully, as porn and gore were in the same category. So you either had the default filter and couldn't see some of the most violent games, or you turned the filter off and every listing turned into 90% porn games. I think they realized that and now have separate categories for "adult because gory" and "tits".
My fiancé download a humble bundle of cute and cozy games on my account instead of making her own. It’s humiliating to have cat cafe and witchy kitchen games on there next to Doom.
Lol, embrace it. Add a few more random free ones to keep people guessing
Oh no! My toxic masculinity!
Calm down redditor. He's very likely just kidding and making light of the situation. I highly doubt that he or his buddies give a flying shit.
The Doom Guy went to war with the forces of hell over the death of his pet rabbit. He was willing to let it be after escaping in Ep3 but he went scorched fucking earth after they killed his Daisy.
And, regardless of how you reconcile the timelines, The Doom Slayer is actively hallucinating his pet rabbit because he still cannot get over her loss.
So yeah. That sounds like a you problem. Because even the most hardcore ultraviolent mass murderer of all FPS protagonists cherishes the love of a cute little bunny rabbit.

You should dump her, she’s definitely got cooties
Think visual novels but the visuals are maybe something you wouldn't want your parents to see, unless they're freak nasty.
let's just say that steam has a section of games distinctly not aimed at children.
I haven't seen anyone else mention the reason why I actually want this feature.
I want to be able to hide the non-games/utilities so that it doesn't say I'm constantly playing things like blender, fpsvr, etc.
If you have some kind of niche fetish, Valve is the last company you should expect to keep it private.
Too late now 🤷🏻♂️
Just make another account.. lol
took them long enough lmao
