A few years ago,Steamadded the option to hide your activity and thus your library and playtime. For those of you who are ashamed of your hundreds of hours in Cute Girls VR, Rich MILF Drama, and HuniePop, it was a bandaid to mask the truth. But now Steam is adding a better way to manage your games - marking individual titles as private.
As highlighted by SteamDB creator Pavel Djundik, the option is incredibly easy to find. All you have to do is go to your game of choice, select the three dots on the bar, and click the new “Mark as Private” option. However, this feature isn’t live yet as it’s a work in progress.
Even your friends won’t be able to see your all-nighter spent playing Lust Trip.
While the obvious use of this is to hide adult games, Djundik’s example wasCounter-Strike 2. Equally as awkward, to be fair. I’d like to scorch my thousands of hours in it too. But those in the comments and quote retweets are more fussed about playing “furry feet in peace”. Have fun, @kaktustes.
Others plan to use the feature to hide their incredibly high number of hours inDead by Daylight,Terraria, and VRChat. Again, all fair picks. I’ll probably tuck my over 1,000 hours ofGarry’s Modinto the do-not-look drawer, next toSkyrimandDark Souls 2.
“I can finally play Catboy Paradise andthat one KFC dating simwithout ridicule,” @sacredricefield said.
“A setting forcowards,” @mscupcake91 said, going against the grain. “You shouldn’t be able to hide the fact you play a super embarrassing game like Counter-Strike 2 from your friends.”
It’s too late for me. I’ve already 100 precented Furry Love.
It’s not the only feature in the works that Djundik has shed light on. If you’re not fussed about your gaming habits being public but wanna stop your kids from spending too much time onRustor whatever they play these days, the platform is also adding new parental controls.
“Steam is working on new parental controls with [the] addition of family groups,” Djundik tweeted. “It will allow setting daily playtime restrictions. Children will be able to request purchases. Steam is also working on redesigning the cart (with React).”
Now, all that’s left for Valve to do is let you private your individual wishlist items, something many were quick to ask for when seeing the new WIP library feature. The last thing we need is for people to know what we’re into. Games-wise, of course.
