How can i sort and view games i paid for in the new library ?

[Sharkellion]

I can sort and view free games, but i can't sort and view games i paid for ?

Now in the new library the free games and paid games are mixed together.
It wouldn't matter if i had 10 games in library, but when i have 4500 then it is really annoying.

Out of curiousity, why do you need to differentiate between free and paid games?

I mean,what does it matter as long as you can play the game(s)? If you really need to you can make any type of category/collection you want though.

I have just about 1100 games i paid for, and i have around 3400 free games in library and i sometimes want to play a few of the games i paid for because they are usually a bit better than the free ones.

Scrolling down to find a game between thousands of other games is alot of work.
I don't think anybody can remember all games they padi for and i have around 1100 games
that i have paid for, so that means i have to scroll through the list to find most of them.

I'm not sure if they will add something for it, or there already is a method that I'm not aware of but as said you can make your own collections.

Here is a handy list of all games you added for free: https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/

Make a dynamic collection. Click on the Create a new collection or just right click games and add to.

like killahinstinct said, just create a collection that is dynamic and has the tag free 2 play.
then it adds it all to that category.
i have done it myself and it works just fine.

I appreciate the link to the list, but it's not optimal.
As there are no icon preview i can't see what type of game it is, so that means i have to search for the game to find out what type it is and that is also alot of work.

Not all the games i paid for is searchable in the store, because some of the older games is removed from the store, but can still be installed if you have it in library.

Thx, but i don't want a list of free games, i want a list of games i paid for.

but you can hide collapse it, then you only see the non f2p games.

but if i understand you correctly you want something that really shows your purchases, so example: a game that used be pay that went f2p later on you want to show up in your paid list.

unfortunately that is probably never going to happen.

No that's not what i want.

I want a dynamic list of all my purchased games !

If a game went f2p then i understand that it's not showing, but not all the games goes f2p !

The new interface is broken... big FAIL... submit a ticket to bring back the old user interface through steam support.

If i had 15 free games and 7 purchased games then i wouldn't be bothered, but imagine to scroll through 1100 paid games and 3400 free games when they are all mixed together.

the solution i gave you will solve your issue, however it wont give you a category, it will just leave them uncategorised, i can see that is problem for you.

so perhaps you would need to make a suggestion in the beta group, to allow filtering of non free 2 play games

right now the filtering works like this that it looks for LIKE so you need to have an option to filter for NOT LIKE.

Actually i can't view all purchased games using tha tip you gave me.
I tried it, but about half of the games is shown.
For example i have Bioshock 1, Bioshock 1 remastered, Bioshock 2, and Bioshock 2 remastered and by using your method only Bioshock 1 is shown.

This happends with alot of other games too.

I have fewer games and also want, actually need this!
