What Steam games do you hide?

I own 14 games on Steam and most of those are just the Orange Box, so... none. Real men launch games from the desktop.

Never got around to playing it, but aside from the furry shit, I always heard it was a pretty solid Metroidvania.

Dust is aight, I enjoyed it, it doesn't have any sus vibes. believe it or not, there's some stuff out there where somebody obviously looped in their fuckin fursona or whatever but there's no coomer bait, and it actually fairly fucking slaps. for example: Tails Noir, Freedom Planet, Guncaster

I bought Freedom Planet way before the developer trooned out. I have since gone beyond hiding it, I've removed it from my library.

ah, shit, I hadn't heard about this. well, given that it's an entire game series built around cutesy female DeviantArt-tier Sonic OCs, I'm having a hard time feeling surprised.

There are two different ways of hiding games. One just hides it from yourself, the other hides it from everybody else.

I've privated from public view porn games, I've hidden in my library misc garbage like betas.
 
Only game I ever "hid" was Warframe, once I realised nothing ever happens in that game.
The moment to moment gameplay is admittedly fun, but I eventually saw the pattern that the game retains people simply by teasing them with the idea that real characters with real arcs and a real story might happen, and then never following through with anything other than further teasing that "actually, this time things will happen", only for more nothing to happen.

If you mean that function that makes it so other people can't see certain games in my library, no I've never used that because I don't buy porn games.

None. Why would you hide games you aren't going to replay? Is it because they are online games and you don't want people asking to play with you because you are no longer interested? The few games I have with multiplayer, I've never even used it.

Maybe we're thinking of different things. The kind of Hide where it just takes it out of your Library so it doesn't clutter up your screen.


It may sound dumb but for some reason I like having all the games I liked listed, but there's also too many where it makes mental cluster.
 
What, you don't autistically categorise your libraries?

I don't hide any steam games because I don't buy porn games, I don't have any friends to hide them from, and I don't share my computer. But I'm still not going to show my collection online, because I've seen the power of autism and I know some of you might be bored.

*In the sense of things like Lisa the Painful and Undertale
**VRChat and Rocksmith, things that are not real games

My solution has been to create three new folders, one for "Not Interested in Replay" (things consigned to the pit of hell for being mediocre), one "Rejected Games" (crap that is not worth touching, mostly a handful of things I got in a bundle long ago that I would happily give up my license to completely to get rid of it), and a "Redundant Games" for those assholes who give you two versions of a game (Remastered and Original, the real game and the beta test one).

Something similar here, but instead of just hiding games I just sort them by genre to avoid unnecessary cluttering in my library tab. Although this system also has its flaws sometimes when I have one or very few games of a genre and I can't justify putting them into a separate category, so I just squint my eyes and pretend that they are from a similar genre.
Also, some as some users previously mentioned ITT, my library is set to friends only so I know who exactly are the people that look at both my library and my wishlist. Also due to the fact that I'm ashamed of all the games all I bought during sales and never got to actually play them, so they are just judgementally observing me from my backlog.

You are like me. I bet you also have more money than time. I bet about ~450 don’t even have an hour logged into them. Fucking steam sales man. I keep buying games I’ll never play because of the 90% discount.
 
I just make collections, with an ever growing "dogshit" one. I don't play porn games and I don't care if someone sees that I have 4000 hours in dota.

Imagine not setting the list to private. What I play is between me and the Lord. That being said I had to hide Payday 3 cause even though I uninstalled it, it still remains in my installed games group.
