I always wondered about the people who were playing porn games and just letting that show on their profile. I know most of us look at porn and that's fine, but I do like some privacy. When a dude on my friend's list broadcasts he plays "Toon Tit Tapper" for 12 minutes before signing off, it's a bit of unwanted information.
Many either don't know or don't care. More of the first than the later.
But, well, I used to run a raid guild in WoW and had this one dude where you could clearly hear porn playing in the background whenever he spoke. With him I've always verged on the side of thinking he must've had some sort of fetish for having people hear he was watching porn. Some really peculiar version of exhibitionism.
Y'all laugh about the obvious h-game hiding but a friend of mine got bullied for a certain game he bought and played. It's actually kind of useful next time you wanna play a game someone shits on you over.
Floras fruit farm which I accidentally left running for 36 hours many many years ago. (Would've enjoyed it much more if one could queue actions, but devs said 'yeah that's not really the focus of our game' which I understand, but it was enjoyable up until it got too micro-managey. I only played it for 2 of those 36 hours.
I have one stupid slightly lewd anime game in my library on Steam because it was literally €0.10. I got shit for ages in my first tear of college because one of my friends saw it and thought it was hilarious. Valve should have made this a feature ages ago. For me it was just something I had to laugh along with. I'd hate to be the kind of person who has a ton of those games lol.
Same, I have one single one I played once 6 years ago and a friend saw it, lucky it was a chill person, but I can fully see how it could be bad for a lot of people
Are they going to create an API so that the private game data can get ingested by every third party data/stats application that I have to unhide and rehide my fucking shit every time bc they're forced to scrape my fucking profile?
Right now, one must manually allow scraping and make profiles public, to share their data with a third party. If Valve would let developers use an API, this wouldn't be necessary.
Now that they're letting us hide games, the third parties will miss them, while scraping. So this seemed like the right thread to make these comments. Now, a true solution, seems more "necessary," because of this new scenario.
