I bought 75 games but i didn't get 250 game collector

[nickbender13]

hello fellas, I just bought 75 games for 250 collector badge, but now I couldn't get the badge and it looked like I had 199 games and I bought 1 game randomly and it was 200 games. do you guys think this is a mistake? I want 250 game collector badge

Games, that have not reached the required amount of sales and players yet and games, that have been removed from Steam do not count towards the badge.

Maybe less of those cheap junk games which do not count.

Clearly says "Profile features limited" on the store page.

What a Hotline Miami ripoff. It even looks like they stole the floor textures, but I might be wrong about that.

Just to add this small explanation; limited profile features on games with few on-Steam sales and players were introduced, I think it was about 5-6 years ago, for exactly the reason, that some publishers massively drove the mindset too far to cash on players, who only wanted to inflate their collectors badge or achievement count.

There were companies, that drove out 5 "games" per DAY at a quality way below the one linked in the post above, often even below what you would expect from a first attempt at a Flash game. For a couple of months, the platform was really drowned in trash.
Things have gotten a lot better since Valve took action back then.
