So, yeah. There are a lot of games on Steam.
BTW, is there a simple way I can find all games and hide every one of them that I don't want instead of waiting for a game that I don't want to be given away ?

Thanks :) I've come a long way 'till overpassing this point. Still a long way until every game I don't want is hidden though.

Or be able to hide a game when on it's GA page? If I am on a private GA for a game I want to hide, I have no way to do it unless there happens to be a public GA for that same game.

Yeah, it's the only way aparently. We have to wait for the game to be given away :/

That'd be cool though if there was a big list of games to hide :)

With that many games already being filtered there are probably not many games to be displayed anyway ;)

But I see where you're coming from, I'm filtering 4.4k games at the moment...

That's pretty good :) Are you only looking for games you'll play as well ?

Yes, I am. In the beginning of my steam days I also activated every game I got from bundles because I did not know what else to do with them. Since I discovered steamgifts I'd rather give away games I won't play, even if they have trading cards that I could easily farm. I prefer I rather small collection of games that I'm actually interested in to a huge collection of stuff I will never touch (my backlog is big enoug as is...).

These polls never go high enough. I am over 7200, but there are some who have over a thousand more than that.

Yeah, I didn't know the amount of games on Steam so I left it here. So you're only entering giveaways for games that you'll really play as well ?

It's not just games though, the potential count includes every single dlc as well as the various packages/collections and even a few humble bundles.

The total is 14k I think? Probably even more. Everything that once had a store page with a Buy button is a separate product in this site's database.

That's a lot. So in fact, we wont be able to hide every referenced "items" if I understand correctly ?

In theory, we can, assuming someone has a key/gift for a removed product and posts it as a giveaway. But in reality, no. Currently the maximum is probably around 10-11k if the 14k figure is ciorrect. But Steam receives over a 100 new titles a week, so the filter count can skyrocket to new heights fast.

I have only one game on my wish list that I haven't 100% completed, but I abandoned that game halfway in because the combat system was too irksome. (I may finish it someday.) So: yes, I enter only with the intent to fully play that game within 8 weeks. :)

1000 something, but owning 3400 games being synced that also filters out alot.
But yeah wish it was easier to filter out games you don't want beside waiting on them to show up.

Do you have games just to have a high level or you played every single one of them ?

That will take years to play them all, and while my account is 8 years old i only started 2 years ago.
I am a collector as in i like games and also believe in preservation (as otherwise them from disappearing forever).
I will definitely try to play all my games eventually.

The answer is simpler: I just don't want to hide any game. :P It doesn't mean though that I'm participating in every giveaway.

That would be pretty nice. I'm not up to 5k yet but it is growing.

Also thank you for the "hidden" steam key. I snagged it :)

You're welcome ;) Actually, I had this key since months and months but I never really knew what to do with it. I'm glad someone will use it better than me ;)

He must have posted it right after (or before) I posted my message. He's a good guy (and a friend), so I'm not surprised that he would say thank you.:)

What game did it end up being for?:)

It was Melissa K and the Heart of Gold. I had it for free so, why not giving it away :)

Thank you for letting me know. It's a shame there are broken Achievements in the game that look like they'll never be fixed.

Wouldn't it be easier to just add the games you want to your wishlist and look in that tab?
Wouldn't work for new games^^

I already thinked of that but I really use my wishlist only for games I really want. For example, I'm participating for a giveaway of Tomb Raider 1 but it's not on my wishlist (I'll play it though).

3,968! Not too shabby. :)
Though I will say that I typically check out a game's steam page before I hide it and doing that has helped me find a bunch of games I'm interested in. The downside of that is now my wishlist is 288 items long... :/

I also check the game description sometimes (when it's a racing game or it has an interesting name or thumbnail). Do you class your wishlisted games or you just leave them ?

7 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

If it's a game that sounds slightly interesting in the description but has poor reviews I usually just block it.
You mean like rank 'em? I used to but I just gave up after a while after I got in the triple digits haha

Oh, so you are one of those crazy people who not collecting every single steam game? Jeez, what a weirdo!

Just kidding ;) Almost 1000 hidden, mostly DLC or some packs if they included most or all games that i already own. I'm also using this script to filter giveaways - https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/RH3yN/steamgifts-v2-giveaway-filter-with-steamgifts-and-sgv2-dark-support

I only hide packages that I own, because Steamgifts fails to detect that I have them already, such as Tomb Raider GOTY, Why So Evil Duology, etc.
