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?

    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
