Oh no. The one last thing keeping me from buying lots of hentai games like crazy.
Yeap… they released it too late. I didn’t buy certain vr games that were on sale due to privacy…
Porn games bout to start selling a lot better. Or, well, better than they already do.
Lots of possible uses for private games, beyond the obvious. Off the top of my head: when working on mods I’ll relaunch a game dozens of times and Steam will spam the in-game notification to my friends unless I sign out of chat. Now I can stay in chat and just make the game private until I’m done modding. Some games get left open a lot (like idle games) and I don’t want them cluttering my profile’s recent games. Sometimes I just want a dumb-fun game without advertising it to friends because I’m self-conscious about it. Some people have coworkers as friends on Steam so they can play socially, but some games may give away political/personal information that they would rather keep private (eg, LGBTQ+ focused games). I have young family members who are friends on Steam and I’d rather they don’t see certain games in my library.
I wish it was implemented like an access control list instead of just private or not-private, but being able to keep the games I want to play with others public and keep other games private is absolutely brilliant. Now I can take private mode off, which makes figuring out which game to play with friends much easier since they can see my library and the “what games do we both have” library filter will work.
Wait a month or two before doing this. Don’t want first day launch bugs to impact you.
Everybody up in here talking about porn games… I just want to be able to hide Stardew Valley so I can avoid the imaginary judgment of my friends playing much harder or competitive games.
Embrace it. It’s a great game. Gaming doesn’t have to be about bloodshot eyeballs.
Yeah, you’re totally right. I’ve leaned into the “rather chill than sweat” gaming camp in the last few years. It’s nice to play games that are friendly and non-violent. SDV and Talos Principle 2 have been my gotos recently.
Cozy gaming is based
Your friends are self conscious of their own perceived skill and value. Or toxic masculinity, possibly.
Nah, my friends don’t actually care, this is tongue in cheek for all the times I’m playing SDV and they’re all masochistically playing From Soft games. That’s why I said “imaginary” judgement.
Bro, what? Stardew is the shit. I told all my friends about it, and yeah, most gave me some weird looks, but I don’t care, I need to water my potatoes and feed my chickens.
Are you on the beach farm? If not, invest in sprinklers! You’ll have so much more free time!
I actually installed a couple of automation mods as well of the sprinklers, and it’s so great now. I still have to tend to my crops, but now I can automatically turn all my eggs into mayo while I am doing other tasks.
I hear you. I just want to play Hogwarts Legacy without the added drama and commentary… 😬
Would be nice to be able to hide the files for shared computer purposes XD
Hey man hentai fps puzzle solver 3 tentacle dlc really brought my family together. You never know.
Family fun night has taken on a whole new meaning!
I wonder if those privated games are still shared via Family sharing. I would expect it not to be shared, but I didn’t see it specified.
I just ran a quick check and private games (whether installed or not) are still shared. Seems like a weird oversight.
Legitimately good updates to the shopping cart but holy shit are they overdue.
My trick is I don’t have friends.

Eh, my profile has been private since pretty much forever, but the inline buy for friends thing is cool since I sometimes buy stuff for my wife and kids from my account.
