Some of my games are vanishing from my Library

[ParasaurPal]

I got a new program to organize ALL my games, and it connects to steam and IT pulled up about fifteen games from Steam that Steam wasn't showing in the client. The two I knew were offenders were WolfQuest and Mount And Blade, but it turns out there were about ten other games besides that wouldn't show in the library AT ALL until I used Playnite to connect to Steam and add my steam games to IT'S library, and it seemed to have forced Steam to get those missing games back now. But seriously, is there a fix for this, besides what I've already done, as I'm not 100% if I'm keeping this program or not.

Hi, Playnite dev here, the reason for this is that Steam automatically hides some types of games from your library after you uninstall them. It's mainly f2p games and games from free weekends etc. The funny thing is that they are still registered to your account and that's why Playnite can import them. However I don't know why Steam hides them in official client :)

WolfQuest and Mount & Blade aren't f2p though. Not sure why those would be hidden, unless he hid them some time ago and then forgot that he did.

Because people don't want their library to be cluttered with free-to-play games that they tried once and didn't like.

That makes sense, but they could at least add section in your library for those games (like they do for VR for example), so you don't have to go to store and look them up if you want to reinstall any of them.

Neither WolfQuest nor Mount and Blade are free games. I never hid them, because they're two of my favorites honestly.
