How to hide F2P games from new library?
Now I have 4748 games in Uncategorized category.
Before Library update I had only about 1000

How can I hide all those F2P games from my Library?

They shouldn't show up if they're not installed, maybe that's a new 'feature'.

It was like that before update.
But now all F2P games are showing in my Library.

It would be a nice feature if only F2P games that we add to custom categories stay shown in Library.

But currently, every singe F2P games is shown in my Library and I can't easily find games that I bought.

There's a filter that allows you to select 'Show only games ready to be played' or something along those lines.

Or you could use the hidden feature.

They’ve gone back to showing them even when not installed? A common sense decision but it’s going to irritate the hell out of the people who requested them to not show up.

Still, the whole point of a beta is to test stuff and illicit feedback.

Yes and no. Some games are while others are not.

And I’d presume that there’s no obvious pattern as to what shows and what doesn’t. Well, hopefully it will all become clearer as the beta goes on.

basically any F2P you had before or played/installed will permanently show up in your library

Before uninstalling a F2P game removed it from your library unless you bought some kind of stuff in the game in steam

You can simply hide F2P games by again

* Mass selecting via ctrl-click or shift click
* right click->Manage->Hide Selected games

If you need help selecting use the filter tag for "Free To Play" then mass select-hide

It was a common request that uninstalled F2P games could be added to the Library, but adding them all is overkill and not what was asked :P

( I will wait for the post-beta version : thanks for those suffering the test )

Out of curiosity from a non-beta user - does this also include free games, of which one has removed the license from the account?

If you can find it here
https://store.steampowered.com/account/licenses/
You'll see it in your Library.

I used this to register all free games to my account
https://steamdb.info/freepackages/
And now I basically see every single free game that exists on Steam in my Library.
And there's no way to show only games that I paid for.

So removing the license does work? I mean, I do so anyhow for free games, that I uninstall, because I don't want to litter my newsfeed with them.

I just tried it, and yes, it does work.
