I don’t understand how after all these years Steam doesn’t have more granular control over what games / activity you show to the world. Why can I just hide some games?

How is this so hard for a small indie company?

I prefer it this way. Having to hide all games provides a chance for introspection about the finite amount of time we get in our lives and wether or not tentacle Anime kitten girls are the company in which we want to spend it

Quit lying to yourself, you know it is

Steam recently updated to make it way easier to switch between accounts. It used to be you had to authenticate every time, which was a pain with Steam Guard. Now there's a Change Account function which won't invalidate your authentication token though it does seem to sign you out until you switch back.

I use that to ensure I'm not advertising certain games to the world.

I mean, that’s a good one. But the problem for me is that I already have a few special games, and even without playing them they would show up on my profile if I ever set it to visible.

Valve is not indie ?! Or do you mean the gamestudios behind those games?

So or so: Just play NSFW Games over at itch.io

It's a joke in the Steam community that they are just an indie company

Well i am getting old... Didnt heard that until now.

[–] Sonotsugipaa@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 year ago

Of course you didn't, they're an indie company - not many people know them

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

Bahaha they use the same joke for Blizzard, Bungie, EA, etc.

It’s probably sarcasm (and/or they used to be indie)
