How many games do I have?

It says I have 61 games in my library, 56 on my profile and 66 on my games list...
It also says I have 56 on my badge. So what the heck is going on here?

Free2Play do not count towards the list.

Also Free Weekend games count toward your library list, but not toward your Game Badge. By my count I see 3 games that are free for the next 8 hours or so.

How can I tell? Because unturned, tf2 and dwarvs f2p are all free and all of them count toward all my lists.

The "Games" total and the badge total are accurate, 100%.

Your Library list includes games that do not count. Free 2 Play, Free Weekend games, and sometimes Duplicate entries for certain games, like in the past GTA and CIV games listed two entries, one for PC and one for MAC. But they only counted as 1 game for the total owned. This has since been corrected (about 1 or 2 weeks ago) and they only list one entry as they should.

It doesn't matter, they are still in your Library list and count until they go away after the weeked.

Edit:
Currently I have 977 games owned, but show 983 on my Library list because of Free 2 Play games and the Free Weekend games.

Is there anyway to see exactly what games I have that count towards my badge?

TirithRR Jul 27, 2014 @ 5:38am

Not easily, cause your profile always shows everything, Library shows everything. Game count is the only thing that doesn't show everything and it's just a number.

Even your Licenses and Subscriptions list at https://store.steampowered.com/account/ shows some Free games, and even Free Weeend games. "Complimentary" cannot be trusted as not counted because some retail redeemed games show up as that, and it also lists DLC.

Basically:
Free 2 Play = Doesn't Count.

What about tf2? I have a premium account and that shows up on everything (I also purchased it as part of the orange box)

TAZ Jul 27, 2014 @ 6:01am

If I own a free 2 play game and then purchase a dlc for that game does it still not count?

TirithRR Jul 27, 2014 @ 6:04am

I can't tell you that. I have premium on TF2, but don't know if it counts toward my list. I also had premium on Everquest 2 for a while, and purchased expansions for it, but cannot tell you if that counts toward my list.

Edit:
Apparently Defiance, just moved to F2P, counts, I tried installing it and it increased my count to 978... but I think that's a bug since it just moved to F2P.

Only Badge is correct really.

ALL GAMES on your Profile can include some DLCs and stuff. Like my DLCs for Fallout: New Vegas list as separate games/items when u view All Games in my Profile.

Games Library can of course include any FTP games (and free weekend games), which if are limited in this way will disappear after the free weekend.

If u installed a FTP game and want it removed from Library view; Steam changed how this works now. U have to go to Account Details and remove the FTP game from your list, if u no longer want to see it. For example u tried it, didn't like it, do not wish to see it in Library again.

Excellent explanation, it is still valid as of through end of 2018. Some DLCs are still treated as games by Steam in your profile's all games list which causes the confusion. Thanks!
