What's your criteria for hiding a game?

Game: exists
Me: hide

Most games that have sexually explicit content. If it has good gameplay, like a cool metroidvania, I might overlook it. Not a big fan of VNs or dating sims so most of those I hide. Anything that is an asset flip or one of those shit games that have a ridiculous price get hidden. Basically if I know I wouldn't play it I'll hide it.

If it looks like something i wouldn't play, i just hide it

porn, asset flips, overpriced 50 points games that are clearly gabage

Any game I don't have any interest in. No bigger criteria than that. :D

Not being interested in it, or in most of the cases, already owning it on another platform.

I don't care at all about reviews, I just hide whatever doesn't interest me for any reason. With the overpriced scams I also ignore them on Steam if I see them here.

I plan to play all my wins, so if a game doesn’t really suit me, I just hide it.

Only games I hide are ones I already own that don't get shown as owned in things like trains ^_^

I do hide sexual content game, but most of the time I hide games I own elsewhere of steam (epic, gog, amazon even itch.io) I'm not that attached to play on steam so If I have a game, I hide.
Also I hide some game I clearly will never play like platform games (I don't think it's bad, just I don't like the genre personally)

looks like crap (below 60% reviews, bought reviews, Gamesforgames, etc.)
I have it elsewhere (Epic GA, et cetera)
totally disinterested in the genre (like 100% rhythm game)

• "simulator" in the title
• pr0n games
• really bad, low effort thumbnail and title font
• usually most 1P games

3d pron

Not a drop of interest, hide. Simple as.

You guys hide games? In the store? I'm unfamiliar with the practice. What is the benefit, does it simply mean the game will never show on any store page?

My only criteria is that it annoys me. NSFW, shovelware, games that became bundled/free and now there's 50 giveaways per hour.

But I usually just check the Wishlist and Group tab for giveaways, I don't expect to find anything interesting in the others.

Most commonly: porn games.
I also hide anything already owned, anything that looks interesting based on the name and artwork if I click and it isn't interesting to save time from thinking it's something for me again.
Then there's asset flips - they get hidden.
I also tend to hide anything whose artwork looks like it was made by an 8 year old in MS Paint.

NSFW, 50P crap game and games already own on Epic / GOG.

VR, overpriced junk games, those crappy 1p games that also lazy junk

I started hiding the shovelware porn games recently. Either that or I own the game and can still enter.

I only hide games that I know I'd be interested in at a glance but that I've decided not to play because of reviews or other research, my wishlist is 1000+ strong so seeing an ignored game helps me to inmediately discard the game when I'm looking for things to add to it. I also ignore really popular stuff I'm not intersted in playing but those are few and far between really. I don't play porn games or games with mixed reviews so I just let those poor fuckers be lol

None. I only enter GAs for wishlisted games (when I remember I can enter GAs), problem solved with minimal effort :)

• low quality games (I also try to essentially match games I ignore in Steam with the games I hide here)
• games I most likely won't play (I don't ignore these on Steam usually, just hide on SteamGifts)
• games I've already played on other platforms
• games I already own (DLCs, games activated for free on Steam, bundles with content I already have or mostly have)

Games I already have access elsewhere, like from my steam family or I already own on GOG.

(wrote a huge answer but then I was like "wait, they don't mean hiding a game on MY STEAM LIBRARY" xD)
