    I’m a grown ass man. If I want to play Hunniepop and Konkotsu Party in my spare time, I have nothing to hide

      Yeah, people are too damn cowardly about the dumbest things.

      Lol, if I was Gabe Newell, I’d troll everyone by, in about a year, removing this feature suddenly and without fanfare, so everyone’s playtime becomes public again.

        I don’t care about what my friends or even adult family know about what I do in my spare time. Everybody (except maybe a subset of the aces) masturbates and as long as it isn’t to kids or outright bestiality, have fun.

        What I do care about are my niece and nephew and, to a lesser extent, my sister. Because the last thing I want is “Hey mom. Uncle is playing Tentacle Beasts 7. What is that?”. Because I play PC games with them a few times a month and very much value “being there” if they have questions they don’t want to ask their parents (and it helps to have “the cool uncle” explain why you never trust a cop. For us it was our “cool aunt”).

    I can’t lie, I have really been looking forward to this feature. I have too many steam friends and too much shaaaaaaaaame.

    Suddenly the sale of porn games in Steam skyrockets.

    This will be nice, I’ve just kept my status on Invisible for years out of fear I’d forget to turn it off when playing with… games. I also share my library with my kid’s account and had to go through and make those games Hidden on their account when setting up family share, hopefully this just removes the need for all that so they can’t accidentally discover it.
