It kills the community. It equals less time spent on profiles. People just won't bother visiting profiles anymore with there being nothing to see.
If Steam got their act together Steam could have annihilated Discord before it got to the level of popularity it has now by adopting better chat, chatroom servers etc. But nope. Reactive changes only. That's when you know a company is in its death throws.
RIP steamcommunity.com
Sounds great to me. I use it to play games. Not interested in anything or anyones business beyond that.
Cool. Your paranoid self has always had the option of a private profile. If you're that paranoid about your play time visible to people you haven't added (because as you say you only use it for games and nothing else) then you have bigger issues to deal with.
Oh, but wait, you're here on steamcommunity.com, something you don't care about and you're not interested in. thinking_face.gif
There people who care about their privacy, so they should have the ability to set what people only see what they want, only people who stalk would complain about the change. People give information free which they want and not what other telling them.
- Give the ability to hide you from other friend lists unless friends view them (depends if set friends only or private ofc.)
But that's the very reason FOR privacy policies ... so people can't tell XYZ is ABC.
Like the RealID mess Blizzard Entertainment had with trying to force using real names on forums. Who wants their boss to know if they play Pokemon? Who would want future bosses to track what they played as a background check, too?
Which is why especially with gaming people do need privacy.
People who cared about their privacy used the private profile option. Anyway, I wouldn't care about this change if it wasn't defaulted to private. It should have defaulted to public and informed users they could now make use of it if they so desired. Most people won't even know their game details are private because this was so poorly communicated.
This is a platform for games and hiding the games you own and how much you play them is antithetical to everything it stands for. If you don't want profiles go use Origin or uPlay or Epic Launcher.
Guess it was just for the weebs to hide their shame.
You don't get the point, PEOPLE WANT SHARE WHAT THEY WANT, NOT WHAT OTHERS TELL THEM. I don't tell every person what i like and what i play, that's why i think the change is the right thing, everyone have their own privacy in their own extend.
Using other platform? Really? Steam have the most exclusives, most games people play are exclusive to Steam, so they have to be part of the Steam platform, giving people the ability to BE PART IN THE COMMUNITY HOW THEY WANT is the RIGHT THING.
Why people should not be able to select be part of a thing how they want? Why force people unflexible settings? People should be able to select, it's about them so they should. No one should tell them how they are be part of the community when they are good to the rules of the platform.
Don't give people the ability to select make harder to decide to public your profile or not. Because they had to make public things they doesn't want and people abused the ability to stalk.
Some people don't want hide everything, so they have the ability now to make other things public.
Since when people complain about privacy? Privacy is only a evil for people who try to gather information which they shouldn't, so the update is only bad for stalkers and other people who want information which they shouldn't have because people doesn't want that.
Btw. you want to share your browser history with us? There probably some weird sites but people should know that information from your perspective. You doesn't want? See privacy is important, people should be able to only share things what they want.
Why force people by default and silently into a change they likely had no interest in taking advantage of? The people who wanted privacy already had their profile set to private and I assume you did too. It should have only been set by default to those who were already using private profiles. Steam has existed for over a decade without locking down their service. How would you like it if suddenly Steam made your profile public? Because that's the equivalent of this change to those of us who want to share our gaming with the steam community.
I'm actually not entirely against the option being there for privacy-loving weebs like yourself. The main problem I have is Steam making it the default behaviour. You're a champion of choice so you should agree that it shouldn't have been made default and forced on everyone. So stop using your caps and REEEEEing.
This has to be the dumbest false equivalency I've ever seen written on the internet. Congratulations on your accomplishment. Because which games you play and for how long is totally equivalent. JFC, man.
Privacy settings should always be opt out, not opt in (Steam did it right). The Facebook privacy mess was due to opt in as the default.
Steam did it right by not notifying their users that their game details are suddenly private? Unless everyone reads reddit or pays attention to the steam blog no one has any idea this change was silently made. I have no idea what world you live in but in the real world silently changing things is a ♥♥♥♥ move.
The Facebook privacy mess was due to morons opting into a personality quiz and consenting to share the entirety of their about me page with the personality quiz's developer.
The only reason Zuckerberg is sitting in front of congress right now is because the majority of the facebook userbase are complete technological luddites (the senators too) who have no idea how it or any other social media work and who only joined up after smartphones reached maturity because they never used the website on a desktop computer. The other reason you can argue is because the DNC went into meltdown and need to blame Facebook for their loss.
Nice a defender of broken privacy, great job.
You know why most people join networks? Because they want in touch with other person they know and not share with everyone. Ads are a way to let the platform alive and when strictly used properly it's good so long the privacy of the person isn't damaged in anyway. But when the Privacy is damaged it's not good.
And which i used is reasonable, Browser History or everything else, everything is a private thing about you. Everyone want share what they want to and not what others tell them. YOU STILL DON'T GET THE POINT OF PRIVACY.
Sounds more like a messaging service. You're only 20 and funnily enough, I found that out because of your lack of opsec, so you're clearly not a big privacy ardent in the first place. Given that you're 20, you clearly missed the heyday of the internet, where it was actually about finding new people to talk to and shared interests, not finding the people you went to high school with and lost touch with for a reason. I'm sad for you that you missed out on places like Myspace, ICQ, mIRC, thedilly, facebattle (yes facebook stole their name) etc, so I'm not really surprised that this has shaped your view of privacy and how social networks work.
Well, no, your gaming play time, game library and achievements of those games haven't been private since Steam's inception. This isn't normal, this is the new normal. I guess it's the normal now for normies and kids who never used the real 'social' media. There's nothing social about facebook. It's exclusionary, not inclusionary, and inclusionary is what the steam community thrived on for so many years. Not anymore.
