[ANNOUNCEMENT] IMPORTANT: CHANGES TO STEAM PRIVACY SETTINGS
Author Summary
Jaska95 is in Announcement
Post Body

Update: The rule change is being enforced from now on.

As of today, steam has updated their privacy settings page

https://steamcommunity.com/games/593110/announcements/detail/1667896941884942467

You can now hide your steam owned games list and played hours.

For whatever reason, steam has decided to enable this setting by default.

What this means is that unless YOU go to your steam profiles settings and set game details to public, nobody is able to see the games you own on steam.

As most of you probably understands, this is a big problem for us if we aim to prevent game hoarding.

The moderator team is currently trying to figure out best solution on how to handle this going forwards, but for now we recommend that everyone changes the game details setting back to public.

We already have rules regarding private steam profiles, but this is different because its enabled by default for everyone.

Eventually we will start removing any posts and comments with private profiles.

HOW TO CHANGE YOUR STEAM GAME DETAILS SETTING

  1. Log into steam client or browser.

  2. Go to your profile

  3. Go to "Edit profile" (Top right)

  4. Go to "My privacy settings" (Top right)

  5. Select the "Game details" setting. This is set to "friends only"

  6. Select "Public" from the drop down menu.

  7. Uncheck the box that says "Always keep my total playtime private even if users can see my game details"

Any changes should be automatically saved.
