Does my son need to know that I am playing dirty Hentai Games? Surely we can fix this.....

[Squashbuckler]

Some privacy to our account while playing dirty games would be appreciated!
Only big issue I can see right now with steam..

I.e: Hiding from "Friends"

We could swap the other party from "kid" to "boss" "mother" "father" "Wife" or any number of other potentially sensitive people. An option is needed to hide adult content, yet still have the full functionality of steam. Thanks to everyone to keeping this post going. My hope is that someday this will be implemented.

You should have a separate, private account for those games with no friends on them.

[MadZec]

Select game in game list, manage games / hide this game

[Spawn of Totoro]

Set your account to private.
Log out of Friends & Chat.

Or make a separate account, as MoonC A T said.

[MadZec]

hiding games is only for those who are viewing your profile. If you two are sharing same account he would be able to see them up tab view/view hidden games but not those who view your profile

[Squashbuckler]

Separate account is a little onerous... shouldn't really be needed.
Not sure if hide game hides from other accounts.. does it really?

[MadZec]

Also on friend and chat you can right click on chat and set yourself to invisible, that is same as if you had log out

[Squashbuckler]

hiding from "Friends" would be the idea actually.

You would be incorrect about that. It only hides it in your library list from you looking at your library, not the games list nor does it hide it from anyone else.

I think he could not see it in game library on profile. But I think it does not hide it from played games unless you set it up on settings for profile......
Or eventually he can make profile fully private...

If you are ashamed of doing something - dont do this. If you are not ashamed... then why would you care?

That is bs........... if I do not like to people see me picking my nose, that does not mean I will stand in front of big stage with lights all on me and start picking my nose.

Everyone has rights to their privacy it does not matter what people like to have private...

[↑↑↓↓←→←→BASelect]

Stop playing dirty hentei games and problem solved. Then your son won't see his dad playing a very bad game.

[failsafe]

So, you are ashamed? I would be if I were picking my nose... so if you compare playing legally purchased game with picking a nose, there must be something in it. Besides, the idea of adding people to friends lists is pretty much about sharing information ect. Of course it wouldnt harm if displaying our activity could be optional, but if you really want to keep your history private just clean your list of friends.

No, hide game does not hide it from other accounts, only on the local system.

Separate account is the best option to keep games out of view of others, especially games that you want private.

It is quick and simple to change accounts.

Setting your profile to private is also an option as others will not be able to see your games, while being logged out of Friends & Chat will hide what you are currently playing.
