The original post here & many other threads sum up the exact issues. Go on, VALVe's Steam team. Go have a look. See how "popular" this desicion was. Did anyone there even take -one- look at the functions? If so, that person needs a vacation, or a pair of glasses. unintentional bugs is one thing. Poor desicion making beyond -anything- even remotely acceptable, is on a different level all-together. There are better ways of implementing things. It's not a race to see how quickly one can force as many pointless things in as possible.
As the saying goes: If it ain't broke, don't try to "fix" it,
Try to improve on existing things, rather than ridding yourself of good functionality, when releasing it outside of a Beta setting. Don't want to lose all faith in yet another company, over daft desicion making.. You -can- make this right.
& thank you for starting this thread.
The sheer ammount of issues listed all over several Steam discussions on the topic are many & not very far between.
It should.
Game details must be completely public.
That being said, I should not be forced to change my privacy setting from private (the setting I've had for almost a decade now, for a multitude of reasons) just because Valve broke something or turned usability to 0% for certain features/user groups.
I did some further digging: this seems to only happen to users who changed their privacy setting after they introduced the new ones (to e.g. sync their content on a site?). Anyone who was grandfathered into their new setup seems to not have said issue. I'd tell them to test it but I don't want to responsible for them not being able to play CSGO with friends anymore (or host sessions).
It was actually a bug with fully private profiles.
