BLOODY SPOILERS

[Rat Creature]

With the steam's amazing idea to show off achievements friends unlocked, how can we be sure it won't spoil the game for us, simply by checking the library?
Why the ♥♥♥♥ do I have to see who unlocked what on the main page?

[RiO]

Because Valve's UI designers have no brain.

They have since 'addressed' this in a new beta update by not showing unlocks for achievements that are hidden.

Of course, that doesn't accomplish jack, as there are a LOT of games with spoiler-heavy achievements that do not mark them hidden.

Steam has always done this in your activity feed so it’s not like new in any way

I believe this is fixed in the new beta.

I can confirm it is.

No it is not fixed.

The new beta only prevents achievements marked as "hidden" from being published to the feed.
And there are many, many titles which do not mark spoiler-heavy story-driven achievements as hidden.

Under the old UI, you could avoid opening the detailed achievements list which would display the achievement titles and descriptions and you'd be comparatively spoiler-free. With the new UI, the feed will push that data in your face regardless.

I'm not entirely sure how Valve can fix something that other people aren't doing correctly. That said, please post your feedback in the designated group (albeit preferably search before posting, odds are someone else already did).
