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

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

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

“Femboy Milking Simulator” sounds kinda similar to “vegan steak” to me.

That’s sounds terrible. That can’t be a real game, can it?

Is there a way to hide what you’re playing other than appearing offline?

I prefer to hide playtime and set myself to Invisible when playing lewd stuff so friends aren’t notified. That way people can still see my library and games in common as well as Now Playing status while I’m Online. The only issue is that these games are still visible if someone searches my library, but I don’t really care about that, I’m pretty vanilla.

Considering Steam has so many NSFW games, it would be great to have a proper “hidden/invisible” category that keeps ownership and all info about these games private while leaving other game info public. Perhaps also an optional PIN to access them so you can share your PC with friends and family without them seeing your lewd stuff. The current “Hidden” category isn’t sufficient.

Just be aware that on multiple occasions having my profile set to private has broken multiplayer, specifically friends being able to find and join me in several games. I think it’s really dumb how privacy settings seemingly have in-game effects, but it is what it is.

That’s not a “Hentai game”, that’s a case study on how humans can better their efforts to interact with mollusks!

It didn’t feel harder to me. Maybe if you skip everything and try to rush the ending without levelling and getting consumables accordingly.
