Hiding all the GA's I don't want (adding to blacklist) is a wonderful thing
I can freely enter things I want to enter without it getting cluttered up with bundle trash.

I feel free and unrestricted *stretch's arms out also do I have to specifically say theirs a hidden GA in this discussion about hidden GA's? no? alright then.
There isn't any GA here nothing to see folks.

Do you hide games?

Of course I do everyone does hiding games bestu.
*Beep Beep* I am a Autojoin Bot and see no reason to hide a game-I enter them all anyways.
I only hide games after they've been bundled and I start to see them everywhere.
*auto hides every game ever made*
I've never blacklisted a game-games blacklist me!
You thought there would be a potato but its ME hidden GA.

Well, nearly half of them are DLCs for Train Simulator (just in case). The rest must be cleaned up, I just have no time lately. And there are not much games on SG from my wishlist...

*I haven't spent the time looking through steam to find all the games I want so I've seen some games on here that look interesting (flat hero's for instance) and started entering all the GA's for them. I still haven't put it on my steam wishlist but I still want it.
For the most part I haven't really seen any GA's of games from my steam wishlist.

Well the thing is the filtering methods are not exclusive and it's generally easier to list what you'd be interested in than filtering out everything else :)

Well, if you always enter in the giveaways from a certain game you can find them in the Recommend tab right under the Wishlist one.

You need to hide games/dlc because SG dont hide already owned DLC's.

Yep. SG filters are smart enough to know if a bundle being given away has a game from your wishlist in it, but not able to pull up what DLC's you have. Might be a limitation of the Steam API, or perhaps it's to process/bandwidth intensive?

btw, seems I'm on your blacklist. If you don't mind me asking, how come?

Definitely an API problem, I noticed the RaChart and Games Owned Checker scripts both also have problems identifying owned DLC, so unfortunately I don't think there's anything SG can do about it right now.

should have included the option "I only hide wishlisted games cause they only make me disappointed when I don't win them"
ah well
...low key can autoentry bots find hidden GA's should I have done more to it

Thanks! I have a few scripts installed already, one that does the hiding of entered GAs. Hope they don't interfere with each other and mess everything up. =)

yeah I had something for endless scrolling and it got messed up with this (all it did is make it so entered stuff wasn't hidden anymore?)
anyways now I only use this

Btw, I've check out your MAL. Our tastes are similar to some degree. It's nice to see someone who hates the same things, haha. =)

Works well I guess, if you have a taste for genres that typically cost more. Otherwise it can have some collateral damage as there are awesome <10$ games (and lots, loooots of trash D:)

I used to do that but then I got bored of avoiding the "not terrible but still not entering" games on the main page, so slowly started hiding them. + I try to manage my wishlist between WANT, and "quite interested" :) After having so many games I realized that even though I like platformers, not hiding the standard nothing-interesting platformers that go by a dozen won't make any good for me, because they may not be bad, but neither they are good. Like "An Imp? A Fiend!" was a really okay game, but never entering and winning it wouldn't have any difference for me as it was just a B-class of other, similar games. So, I still use my WL but try to be more focused with it, and still having not hidden, not wishlisted games. Not many though :P

I've got about the same amount of hidden games as well.
So yeah, it's an extremely useful function for people like us who enter giveaways for games we're actually interested in playing.
I've also used the wishlist to highlight some games here, but I'm probably going to end up buying them myself. =)

...I guess bots should be able to check for hidden GAs, not sure, but that doesn't sound complicated to code.

5,113 games hidden so far.

When did they add the option to turn off manually filtered giveaways? I'm sure that wasn't there last I checked a few months ago...

I'm starting to think I'm the odd one out here when mostly just entering bundled games. Looks like many are filtering "trash" "cheap" bundled games

Currently at 6689 hidden. It's nice to only have 2 or 3 pages of games on the main giveaway list :)

7,266 games have been added to your filter list.
c:
I really wish if the hiding wouldn't apply to the group / whitelist page because I'm sure I'm missing out whitelist-messages because of having the games hidden / already owned
