Dynamic collection tag for "Perfect Games"
On behalf of myself and others with...large libraries, I would love to see a tag filter added to the dynamic collections to filter "Perfect Games" out of the main installed or active categories into their own category.

As a stretch goal it would be nice to be able to have an easily applicable flag (think right click context menu) to flag a game as "Finished" so even if the game doesn't have achievements to count as "Perfect" or is a game you know you don't care to get 100% achievements for (looking at you ridiculous multiplayer achievements) you can shuffle it off to its own category easily and de-clutter your main section.

You already can flag a game as finished, you just have to create the category first.

Yeah i've been marking my games as finished for quite a while now for organizing

I don't think there are any flags other than achievements that would be able to determine a game was completed or not.

It would be nice to have a dynamic collection that could automatically move 100% completed games out of the main collection though. Like yes, you can work around it by removing games from categories and making new finished categories... The point is it would be nice to be able to make this happen as a dynamic collection. and to be able to have a one click solution for games that are not to be 100% complete.

With a small library it isn't as annoying...when you have well over 500 games...it gets annoying...

Which would fall to shambles as soon as a game updated and added more achievements. You are already wanting a context menu to manually add games to it so why make a dynamic collection when you're wanting to manually add some regardless.

You have 14 perfect games. Would take 2 minutes to click it and move them. Steam would have to constantly check every second to see if a game is 100% complete in order to do your idea because dev's do add new achievements. So the overhead costs would be significant, and plenty of people consider a game finished without having 100% in it.

It would not have to check every second...it would not have to check any more than it already checks to categorize them. That is possibly the stupidest take you could have had on this claiming that it needs to refresh more than every time an achievement pops on a game...Games don't sporadically just *go* complete. It is always going to coincide with an achievement pop. And on the other end, it's always going to coincide with an update...so it can check for updates and achievement gains just like it already does.

As for it falling to shambles with updates...no, not even close. First off that does not happen all that frequently.
Second, it's just keeping track of a stat that it already keeps track of Terraria for instance as an example of one that I had 100% and never got back to, it no longer displays as a perfect game. It is already tracking that stat. This is just attaching that tracking, to a dynamic category filter. It literally doesn't add anything new as far as what they track.

If you're going to argue against a basic QoL feature at least make it logical. ffs...

Also I do work around it right now, it's just annoying when it could so easily be a dynamically sorted feature off a stat they already track.

Again, you've already been told why and you have 14 games and you yourself shot your idea in the foot pointing out plenty of people consider games complete without getting 100%

The overwhelming majority of Steam users don't care about achievements, hence why you can tag games as complete already.

The point is...and try not to strain your brain...it is a stat, that is already tracked. You are not adding anything new other than the integration into the categories system as a dynamic option.

It would most likely be extremely easy to add, and would be nice for a fair few people. I have seen it suggested elsewhere on reddit etc, and probably even on Steam before though I didn't google too far back.

If you wouldn't use it, that's fine, maybe the thread or suggestion isn't for you. But it is a fine, easy to add, QoL for people who *do* like to track achievements as an extra.

Also to the best of my knowledge there is no non-janky way to tag things as complete other than manually removing them from other dynamic collections and making a "complete" category and shoving them in to that. Which is a pain if you say, normally categorize dynamically by genre, for instance. Because that relies on user tags that are often garbage...like listing Titanfall 2 as a dating sim...(I'm not joking...look at the tags for Titanfall 2...)

I was looking for "perfect" games to put on my profile display showcase. The easiest way to get the list of all fully completed games: go to your profile, click on games (menu on the left), the screen that opens has a tab "perfect games"

It's already possible to sort by percentage of unlocked achievements, but why not.
