Hi there,

I have got a friend on steam, i sometimes play games with him, and i really enjoy this.
But when i play a game which he doesn't like he keeps spamming me on steam, when i block communication, he can see that i'm online on my account, he can also see that i'm playing a certain game.
Is there a way to make it look like i'm online for only him, and not my other friends?

if you block communications you will appear offline on his friendslist.

on web you will appear online or whatever because your profile is public. he could check your status without even logging into Steam.

Yes but is there a solution to make it look like i'm offline to him?

Solution: Tell him to stop.
If that doesn't work: Block him.
Problem solved unless he's some maniac.

Yeah but if i block him he sees that i'm playing a certain game, telling him to stop doesn't work either

So? He won't be able to message you.

He annoys me in real life when that happens?

as said, he does not see this on his friendslist. he has to check your profile and that he could do without even being logged in. it would make absolutely no sense to implement what you want since the only thing to see your profile again is to use another account or simply check your profile without being logged in.
