Why some games are not considered in the steam badge number of games.

[SkyDream]

My steam badge was at 190 games, I decided to buy games to get the 200+ badge. (a pack of 16 games "100 hidden" and 7 games at about 1-5€)

I start to finish the games "100 hidden". Once the 16 games finished 100% I noticed that they are not in my list of games finished 100% I also noticed that my badge was only at 193 games. I check my library of games, my number of games is 237 without counting the dlc, software, tools.

I don’t understand why the badge doesn’t take all the games into consideration. I have no games outside Steam in my library it is only games buy on steam and 5-10 games free to play.

We can even see on my profile the games 100 hidden its finished 100% in recent use but not in my games finished 100%

And why on 23 games purchased only 3 are on the badge?

It’s probably poorly translated excuse me in advance.

Are any of the games in your library unavailable on the steam store? I'm pretty sure those games aren't counted for badge purposes. An example of a game like that would be Transformers: Devastation which was pulled from the store a few years ago.

Games with profile features limited, or those Steam still has in the learning phase, are not factored.

Since VALVe will allow just about anything on the Steam-Store for 100 bucks, game "developers" exploited this by not actually making any effort to make games, but just some random asset-packs, sold for a few pennies to milk trading cards or spam achievements or just to give "+1" on the game count, which some people really care about.

Since then, VALVe increased the barrier of entry a little. If you are a new developer on Steam, your games will show "Profile Features Limited", until you have turned enough of a profit. Those games don't give "+1" to your Steam-library.

Games that don't count for the profile count and gamers badge:
- Free to play games;
- Games with "Profile features limited" on the store page;
- Games with "Steam is learning about this game" on the store page;
- Games banned by Valve.

There is no 200 badge, the next level of the Game Collector Badge is 250.

None of the "100 Hidden" games counts towards anything as they are still marked 'Profile Features Limited' or 'Steam is learning about this game'.
They don't count towards your total games owned, nor do their achievements count towards any stats (achievements, completion %, or perfect games).

1. There is no 200+ badge, what you get is 250+ badge.
2. All "100 hidden" games and 4 games you bought are in Profile Limited/Steam is learning... and don't count towards the badge and achievement showcase.

Hard to tell, since it will just remove the store-page in that case and that can happen for reasons, other than VALVe banning them. VALVe doesn't often moderate their store.
